The Regional District of Nanaimo (RDN) advises that a Public Hearing is not being held for proposed "Regional District of Nanaimo zoning Amendment Bylaw No. 2500.07, 2025". (Bylaw 2500.07). A Public Hearing is not being held as Official Community Plans (OCPs) apply to the electoral areas (A, E, C, G and H) subject to Bylaw 2500.07 and the RDN Board considers Bylaw 2500.07 to be consistent with the applicable OCPs. In general terms, the purpose of the bylaw is to update the definitions of 'livestock' and 'school'; increase the maximum number of students permitted for a home-based personal recreation business; correct an administrative error related to the maximum accessory building floor area; and reduce the minimum parcel area eligible for a Section 514 subdivision. (See details by clicking the link below).
The RDN intends to consider first reading of Bylaw 2500.07 at its regular Board meeting being held Tuesday, June 24, 2025, at 1 p.m.
