Notice is hereby given that an electronic/telephone Public Hearing affecting “Regional District of Bulkley-Nechako Zoning Bylaw No. 1800, 2020” (the Zoning Bylaw) will be held on Monday, April 8th, 2024 at 7:00 pm for Bylaw No. 2034, 2024.
The Zoning Bylaw is proposed to be amended by Bylaw No. 2034, 2024 by removing Section 25.0.1.1.g) of the Civic/Institutional Zone (P1), which lists “Multiple Family Dwelling, with a maximum combined total of 12 Dwelling Units” as a Permitted Principal Use for the Parcel legally described as Lot B, District Lot 716, Range 4, Coast District, Plan 1379 only.
This use was introduced by the former property owner in a 2014 Zoning Bylaw amendment and is no longer necessary as the property now operates as a regional park, which is owned by the Regional District.
The subject property at 2411 Hospital Road is approximately 800 m northwest of the southside Francois Lake ferry landing and legally described as Lot B, District Lot 716, Range 4, Coast District, Plan 1379.
