Overview
The City of Hamilton's By-law No. 11-174, printed as a consolidation with by-laws 12-053, 18-228 and 19-141 and naming itself the City of Hamilton GO Transit Development Charges By-law, 2011. It imposes development charges on residential development across the city to pay for increased needs for GO Transit service. Schedule “A” sets a charge per unit for single and semi-detached dwellings, apartments by bedroom count and other residential types, and Schedules “B” and “C” map the downtown community improvement area and its height restrictions. Hamilton's development charges pamphlets summarize it.
