Town of Stouffville: Missing Middle Housing Survey

Purpose and Objective

This survey will take approximately 10 - 15 minutes to complete. The purpose is to collect feedback on key policy levers and zoning permissions that are being contemplated for the Town’s Housing Accelerator Fund (HAF) Initiatives to support the development of housing in Town. The results of the community survey will help the Project Team select the recommended options for the Town’s HAF Initiatives and create a first draft Zoning By-law Amendment that is informed by community wants and needs.

Overview

HAF Initiative 1: Medium to High Density Residential Parking Review
This initiative focuses on reviewing parking requirements and options for medium and high‑density residential developments. The initiative will examine and update the Town’s parking provisions and regulations to establish appropriate minimum parking standards for the study area.

Study Area for the HAF 1 Initiative, which includes all lands designated for medium and high density residential or mixed-use development

HAF Initiative 2: Expanding the Missing Middle Housing Study
This initiative examines how a range of “missing middle” housing types can be appropriately integrated into existing, fully serviced low‑density neighbourhoods. The review will assess the suitability of various intensification options and building types, including Additional Residential Units (ARUs), semi‑detached homes, townhouses, triplexes, fourplexes, multiplexes, cluster homes, and low‑rise apartments.
