The Regional District of Nanaimo (RDN) Advises that a Public Hearing is not being held for proposed "Regional District of Nanaimo Electoral Area 'F' Zoning and Subdivision Amendment Bylaw 1285.42, 2026" (Bylaw 1285.42). A public hearing is not being held as an Official Community Plan (OCP) applies to the electoral area subject to Bylaw 1285.42 and the RDN Board considers Bylaw 1285.42 to be consistent with the applicable OCP. In general terms, the purpose of the bylaw is to add a general regulation applying to the R-1, R-2, R-4 and FR-2 zones specifying no parcel having an area less than the applicable subdivision district may be created including a lot created by deposit of a strata plan under the Strata Property Act, excluding bare land strata lots. The bylaw does not propose any changes to the number of dwelling units permitted or the minimum parcel size for the purpose of subdivision.
The RDN intends to consider first reading of Bylaw 1285.42 at its regular Board meeting to be held Tuesday, May 12, 2026, at 1 p.m.
