What's Been Done:
Background:
The goals of the planning process:
-
update the existing land use policies with an Official Community Plan (OCP)
-
consolidate the existing land use regulations with the Cranbrook Rural Zoning bylaw to create one zoning bylaw for Electoral Area C South
How is the OCP different from the existing land use bylaw?
-
Policy in the proposed OCP will be more expansive.
-
The current land use bylaw was adopted in 2008. The proposed OCP will recognize current issues and opportunities.
Why update the land use bylaw now?
-
This planning process is an opportunity to create one zoning bylaw for the majority of Electoral Area C.
-
Updating the existing land use bylaw is an opportunity to bring definitions and regulations into conformity with newer Regional District bylaws.
Please note that properties’ land use designations will not change. For example, if your property is currently designated RR-60 (Rural Resource) in the Moyie & Area Land Use Bylaw, it will be designated RR-60 (Rural Resource) in the proposed Electoral Area C South Zoning Bylaw.
