RDN News Release - Community Input Sought on Electoral Area Zoning Bylaw

The Regional District of Nanaimo (RDN) is updating its Land Use and Subdivision Bylaw No. 500, 1987 (Bylaw 500) and invites residents to provide their input. Bylaw 500 is a planning document that regulates the use of land, buildings and structures in five of the seven RDN electoral areas. Several sections of the bylaw are inconsistent, unclear and difficult to interpret. As a result, Bylaw 500 is challenging for the RDN to administer and for property owners to understand. Residents can provide their feedback on draft bylaw improvement options through an online survey until April 7, 2022.
