The Board of Directors of the Thompson-Nicola Regional District gives notice that it will hold a delegated Public Hearing in the TNRD Boardroom, 4th floor of 465 Victoria Street, Kamloops, BC, to consider proposed Bylaw 2792 and Bylaw 2815.
What are the changes in proposed Bylaw 2792, 2022?
These revise the Green Lake and Area Official Community Plan (OCP) and would:
- Clarify the OCP Riparian (& onsite septic system) Development Permit (DP) Area policy
- Reduce the scope of when Hazardous Land & Environmentally Sensitive DPs get triggered
- Add policy to guide applications for RV living use via a Temporary Use Permit
What is proposed Bylaw 2815, 2023?
It sets out numerous (omnibus) comprehensive changes to TNRD Zoning Bylaw 2400, including:
- Shift floodplain regulations from Bylaw 2400 into a standalone floodplain bylaw
- Increase all building minimum side/rear setbacks to 2.4 metres to more align with BC Building Code
- Decrease MHP-1 zone density given increases in unit sizes and doubling of fire separations
- Clarify how site-built homes and factory built manufactured homes (MHs) can be combined
- Combine R-1 and R-2 zones and so remove the prohibition on narrow homes and single-wide MHs (properties currently zoned R-2 will become zoned R-1)
- Clarify that a long breezeway, corridor, or similar cannot serve to make two buildings into one
- Increase the size of parcel area that is subject to existing livestock limits to 4 hectares
- Clarify that lot coverage includes all buildings and not only those subject to building permit
- Allow secondary suites in all Tobiano CD-1 Zone and RA-2 Zone single family dwellings and remove the 80m2 cap in suite area
