The Regional District of Nanaimo (RDN) is working to improve the steps needed to mitigate risks to new development located near the coast. The proposed development permit area will identify earlier on in the approvals process the existing requirements for construction of a new building and/or subdivision. The proposed official community plan amendments outline the purpose and area affected and the proposed zoning bylaw amendment establishes the requirements. Both should be considered together and are located in the Document Library.

The Regional Board gave two readings to official community plan amendment bylaws for Areas A, E, G and H and zoning bylaw in 2023. We are seeking public feedback at open houses being held in February and March and through this bylaw comment form.
