The proposed bylaw would require Commission review for activities such as vista pruning and certain unpaved walkways near wetlands. The Commission also directed that a fee schedule be drafted and discussed possible mitigation requiring at least 1.5 times the area of resource loss, with language still to be developed. A bylaw-specific meeting was scheduled for March 31, 2026, at 7:00 p.m.
