Zoning Amendment Application No. PL2025-034

The RDN is currently looking for your input on zoning amendment application PL2019-081.

Lot 21 Spider Lake Road

The RDN has received a zoning amendment for the property legally described as Lot 21, Block 360, Newcastle and Alberni District, Plan 37698. The subject property is currently zoned Rural Residential 2, Subdivision District B (RR2B) (see Document Library), which allows a range of rural uses including agriculture and two dwelling units on parcels greater than 2.0 hectares in area and a minimum parcel size of 8.0 hectares.
