Waiver of Public Hearing & Intent to Consider Third Reading

Application No. PL2018-092
2995 Ridgeway Road Electoral Area C

Pursuant to Section 464(2) and 467 of the Local Government Act, the Regional District of Nanaimo (RDN) advises that the requirement for a public hearing has been waived in connection with proposed bylaw "Regional District of Nanaimo Land Use and Subdivision Amendment Bylaw No. 500.423, 2018" ("Bylaw 500.423"). This waiver is because an Official Community Plan applies to the area that is subject to Bylaw No. 500.423 and the Regional District of Nanaimo Board of Directors considers Bylaw No. 500.423 to be consistent with "Regional District of Nanaimo Electoral Area 'C' Official Community Plan Bylaw No. 1055, 1997".

Bylaw 500.423 affects the property as shown to the left, which received first and second reading at the January 22, 2019 Board meeting.

The RDN intends to consider third reading of Bylaw 500.423 at its regular Board meeting:

Time & Date: Tuesday, February 26, 2019 at 7 pm
Location: RDN Board Chambers, 6300 Hammond Bay Road

Purpose Of Proposed Bylaw

The purpose of Bylaw 500.423 is to amend the subdivision district of the subject property from Rural 1 'D' (RU1D) to Rural 1 'F' (RU1F) under the "Regional District of Nanaimo Land Use and Subdivision Bylaw No. 500, 1987". This amendment will reduce the minimum parcel size from 2.0 hectares to 1.0 hectare to facilitate a two-lot subdivision.
