Notice is hereby given that a Delegated Public Hearing covering Regional District of North Okanagan Zoning Bylaw No. 3000, 2023 will be held in the Board Room of the Regional District of North Okanagan at 9848 Aberdeen Road, Coldstream, BC on Wednesday, January 24, 2024 at 1:00 p.m. The Public Hearing for Bylaw No. 3000 has been delegated by the Board of Directors to the Electoral Area Advisory Committee under Section 231 of the Local Government Act.
Since its adoption in 2004 and in response to changing conditions and provincial legislation, Zoning Bylaw No. 1888 has been amended multiple times. Zoning Bylaw No. 3000 has been written to replace Zoning Bylaw No. 1888 and to ensure that the language in the Bylaw is clear and up-to-date, that the format is user-friendly and that all sections are consistent with each other. The Bylaw has also been written to reduce the number of commonly supported variance requests. The Bylaw has also been written to minimize the creation of non-conforming situations and as such, the Bylaw does not propose to change the zoning designation of any properties, to change the uses permitted in the existing zones or to make the existing regulations associated with the siting, size and dimensions of buildings and structures more restrictive.
Zoning Bylaw No. 3000 has not been written to address the new Provincial legislation (Bill 44) associated with small scale and multi-unit housing. To address this legislation, changes to Bylaw No. 3000 will be considered at a later date.
Section 479 of the Local Government Act states that a local government may adopt a zoning bylaw in order to divide a region into zones and to regulate within the zones: the use of land, buildings and structures; the density of the use of land, buildings and structures; the siting, size and dimensions of buildings and structures; and the shape, dimensions and area of all parcels of land that may be created by subdivision. Other land use management and planning related to zoning is often included in such bylaws, and the proposed Zoning Bylaw No. 3000 continues the approach of including provisions related to off-street parking and loading, screening and landscaping, signage, floodplain, riparian, and campground regulations.
The following outlines some of the differences between Zoning Bylaw No. 1888 and the proposed new Zoning Bylaw No. 3000.
