Infill development is an important aspect of renewing and revitalizing Winnipeg’s mature communities. In Glenwood, where significant infill housing has occurred over the past 10 years, it has also contributed to many issues for the neighbourhood.

On June 24, 2021, Council approved the Small-Scale and Low-Rise Residential Development Guidelines for Mature Communities (Residential Infill Guidelines). These guidelines are a tool for designers, developers, and residents to help ensure that new housing development fits with the character of the community and surrounding area.

The City of Winnipeg (City) is now developing a Planned Development Overlay (PDO) to strengthen the Residential Infill Guidelines in Glenwood. The PDO will help reinforce parts of the guidelines related to character of houses, privacy, sunlight, landscaping, and trees by putting them into regulations.

    On July 21, Council directed the Public Service to prepare a Zoning By-law Amendment that inserts the Draft Glenwood Planned Development Overlay (PDO) into the Winnipeg Zoning By-law No. 200/2006 to address residential infill-related concerns in the Glenwood Neighbourhood. The Draft Glenwood PDO will reinforce parts of the Small-Scale and Low-Rise Residential Development Guidelines for Mature Communities (Residential Infill Guidelines) in Glenwood, specifically as it relates to the character of houses, privacy, sunlight, landscaping, and trees.

    The Riel Community Committee will then hold a public hearing on the Zoning By-law Amendment and submit its recommendations to Council.
