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 Bylaw No. 2035, 2024.
The Zoning Bylaw is proposed to be amended by Bylaw No. 2035, 2024 by adding the following text to the Principal Uses list in the Small Holdings Zone (H1)
“f) Veterinary Clinic only on the Parcel legally described as Lot 2, District Lot 2511, Range 5, Coast District, Plan 3885, Except Any Portion of the Right of Way of the Dominion Telegraph Line Having a Width of 100 Feet Which May Lie Within the Boundaries of This Land and Except Plan 8676.”
With the adoption of the new Zoning Bylaw in 2020, Veterinary Clinic use was removed from the H1 Zone, making the existing Veterinary Clinic at 2450 Fountain Frontage Road non-conforming to zoning. Proposed Bylaw No. 2035, 2024 would allow Veterinary Clinic use on the subject property.
