The RDN has received a zoning amendment for the property legally described as Lot 1, Salvation Army Lots, Nanoose District, Plan VIP69390. The subject property is currently zoned Commercial 3 (C-3) and Manufactured Home Park 1.6 (MHP-1.6) (see Document Library). The MHP-1.6 zone allows nineteen manufactured homes, one dwelling unit, and six Recreation Sites on the subject property.

A Public Information Meeting (PIM) was held on January 8, 2018. In response to comments received at the PIM and from referral agencies, the applicant has amended the application by reducing the number of additional manufactured homes from twenty-seven to twenty-two. The applicant is also proposing to install an advanced wastewater treatment system, implement a stormwater management plan, and address concerns over internal traffic safety.

The updated proposal is to amend the MHP-1.6 zoned portion to Manufactured Home Park 2 (MHP-2) to allow up to an additional twenty-two manufactured homes, pursuant to “Regional District of Nanaimo Electoral Area ‘F’ Zoning and Subdivision Bylaw No. 1285, 2002”.
