Summary#
Montréal city council unanimously set its position in favour of adopting an accompanying document for Règlement RCG 14-029-8, which amended the agglomeration’s land-use and development plan. That regulation was already in force as of November 3, 2025; this decision concerns a table explaining the changes, not adopting the regulation again. The stated goal of the regulation is to align the plan with the government’s housing-planning direction. The agglomeration council makes the final decision at a later meeting.
- The document is called Tableau indicatif des modifications (OGAT Habitation) (“Indicative Table of Amendments”).
- The table says municipal and borough urban plans and bylaws do not need changes to comply with RCG 14-029-8.
- City staff say the regulation added a housing diagnosis, a strategic indicator and targets to the agglomeration plan.

- Municipalities and boroughs: According to the table, they do not need to amend their urban plans or bylaws to comply with this regulation.
