Does the City Have the Authority to Exclude or Exempt Properties Near SkyTrain Stations in Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) Areas?
No, the City of Coquitlam does not have the authority to exclude or exempt properties or neighborhoods near SkyTrain stations that fall within a Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) area.
