The Regional District of Nanaimo (RDN) advises that a Public Hearing will not be held for proposed "Regional District of Nanaimo Zoning Amendment Bylaw No. 2500.05, 2025" (Bylaw 2500.05). A Public Hearing is not permitted as an Official Community Plan (OCP) is in effect for the area; the zoning bylaw aligns with the OCP; the bylaw's sole purpose is to allow a development that includes a residential component; and, that a residential component comprises at least 50% of the total gross floor area. The purpose of the proposed bylaw is to rezone the subject property from Residential 7 (RS7), Subdivision District 'P', to Small Scale Multi-Unit Housing 1.2 Sub-zone (SSH1.2), Subdivision District 'P', to permit a subdivision with a minimum parcel size of 1000 m² and permit four dwelling units per parcel.
The RDN intends to consider first reading of Bylaw 2500.05 at its next Board meeting to be held Tuesday, June 24, 2025, at 1 p.m.
