LOCAL BENEFITS Clause Samples
The LOCAL BENEFITS clause requires that certain advantages or positive impacts from a contract or project are directed toward the local community or economy. This may involve hiring local workers, sourcing materials from local suppliers, or investing in community development initiatives. By mandating these actions, the clause ensures that the local area gains tangible benefits from the project, addressing concerns about external parties profiting without contributing to the host community.

LOCAL BENEFITS. There are many benefits to providing small lot zoning. Small lot zoning contributes to the densification of urban areas, uses the land and services more efficiently, increases housing choices and adds to the stock of ground level housing which remains accessible to homeowners in their elder years. Small lot zoning allows for a mix of residential housing types in new and existing communities that meet the needs of existing and future residents. By allowing for the intensification of housing in developed areas where infrastructure and facilities already exist and by condensing the area of new residential developments, the municipality reduces unnecessary sprawl into resource and farm lands. • help residents understand the benefits of implementing small lot zoning; • assist the municipality in identifying standards to maintain the quality of the residential environment in existing neighbourhoods, as well as providing aesthetic controls for new developments. • Official Community Plans should recognize small lot zoning either directly or more generally by promoting a variety of housing types. • Zoning Bylaws should outline the standards for construction on small lots. Items to consider are: - density – higher densities should be allowed to allow for adequate livable space on the smaller lots; - permitted uses – single-family in the form of either detached or attached units should be identified to maintain area character; - size – floor area ratios should be increased and limits should be placed on the maximum size of each dwelling. This will ensure that new dwellings are compatible with existing dwellings (larger houses on large lots) in infill areas; - lot coverage – should be increased to allow for design flexibility; - setbacks – front and side yard setbacks should be reduced to allow for design flexibility or one side yard may be able to be reduced to zero; - height – building height should be increased to allow for more design flexibility; - landscaping – should be identified to reduce the cumulative impact of impermeable surfaces on area drainage; and - building provisions – some bylaws restrict side wall windows to increase privacy in denser neighbourhoods. The staggering of front setbacks is also an option to promote privacy and add variety to the streetscape. Level Housing Series
