Columbia Valley Zoning Bylaw update underway
A comprehensive review and rewrite of Columbia Valley Zoning Bylaw No. 900 is underway by the Regional District of East Kootenay (RDEK).
“The current bylaw was adopted in 1990 and has been amended over 390 times,” explained RDEK Planning Supervisor Karen MacLeod. “This current process will not only modernize the bylaw but will also provide an opportunity to consolidate all of the amendments.”
The RDEK has created a project page to allow residents to review the draft and reach out with any questions prior to it being presented to the Board of Directors for its first review in September.
“If people would like information on the proposed changes in the new zoning bylaw, on what is staying the same, or even the process itself, our planning staff are available to help,” added MacLeod.
A copy of the draft bylaw and the map schedules are all included on the project page.
The draft bylaw is expected to be reviewed by the RDEK board on September 8.
If it receives first and second reading, a public hearing would be scheduled before it could be considered for adoption.
