WHAT’S THIS ABOUT?
Background: In 2014, the Local Government Act was amended by the Provincial government to terminate all existing Land Use Contracts (LUCs) on June 30, 2024.
There are currently nine (9) LUCs in the Alberni-Clayoquot Regional District (ACRD) that include specific land use and development regulations for the properties on which they are registered.
Purpose: The ACRD has drafted site-specific zones, included in Bylaws P1496 and P1497, for properties that are currently regulated by a LUC. These unique zones reflect the same uses and development regulations as contained within the LUCs.
Bylaw P1496 is a zoning text amendment bylaw and Bylaw P1497 is a zoning atlas amendment bylaw to amend the ACRD Zoning Bylaw No. 15 to include site specific districts for former LUCs.
