NOTICE OF FIRST READING ZONING AMENDMENT BYLAW 4500.231

Notice is hereby given pursuant to Section 464(4), and 467 of the Local Government Act (LGA) that a Public Hearing is prohibited for proposed Zoning Amendment Bylaw 4500.231 as the sole purpose of the bylaw is to allow the residential use and density as required by the “Small-Scale Multi-Unit Housing” (SSMUH) regulations. Council will consider first reading of the bylaw on Monday, September 23rd, 2024, in the Shaw Auditorium at the Vancouver Island Conference Centre at 80 Commercial Street, Nanaimo, BC.

BYLAW NO. 4500.231

Location: 2498 Rosstown Road, as shown on Map A

A 13-lot subdivision has been approved for the subject property. This bylaw, if adopted, will rezone lots recently created by subdivision from R1 (Single Dwelling Residential) to R5 (Three and Four Unit Residential) to allow up to four housing units on each lot. Prior to subdivision, the parcel was greater than 4,050 m2 and exempt from the SSMUH regulations. Now that the parcel has been subdivided, the City is required to implement the density provisions of the Provincially-mandated SSMUH regulations.

A copy of the proposed bylaw and related information is available online at: www.nanaimo.ca/whatsbuilding/Folder/SUB01416 and may be inspected in-person from September 13, 2024, to September 23, 2024, 8:00am to 4:30pm, Monday through Friday (excluding statutory holidays), at the City of Nanaimo Service and Resource Centre at 411 Dunsmuir Street.
