Plan for larger and better community centre in King City that encompass a public swimming pool, indoor basketball court, squash court
King City is definitely missing a large community centre like other town/city. We need a place where there are tennis courts, large indoor pools, indoor gymnasium for activities, squash court, basketball court, skating rinks etc. all in one roof.

3.2.1 is very strict re: reverse fronting lots. We have done so in KC & people speaking positively. Maybe there should be conditions to do
Conditions would include such things as need to provide gates and paths with a max. distance of XX between.

CIP in hamlets whether it is Ag area or not. (7.4 mentions CIP as part of agri-food strategy.)
There are a some long standing commercial enterprises in the hamlets. Improving streetscapes, landscaping, signage will benefit them too just as those in the village cores benefit. We need to incent those in the hamlets.
