RDN News Release - Residents Invited to Provide Input on Bylaw 2500

The Regional District of Nanaimo (RDN) is updating its Land Use and Subdivision Bylaw No. 500, 1987 (Bylaw 500). Bylaw 500 is a planning document that regulates the use of land, buildings and structures in RDN Electoral Areas A, C, E, G and H. The RDN Board gave draft Zoning Bylaw 2500, which will replace Bylaw 500, first reading at the January 9, 2024, board meeting and endorsed an engagement plan to seek public input on the draft bylaw through an online survey and six in-person open houses. The feedback collected will help develop recommended changes to the draft zoning bylaw that staff will present to the RDN Board for second reading.
