Metro Vancouver Regional District Electoral Area A Zoning Amendment Bylaw No. 1399, 2024
Metro Vancouver Regional District (“Metro Vancouver”) proposes to amend
Greater Vancouver Regional District Electoral Area A Zoning Bylaw No. 1144, 2011 to align it with provincial policy guidance on zoning bylaw regulation best practices. To do this, Metro Vancouver is proposing minor amendments that would:
- Reduce setbacks in some zones;
- Remove specific agricultural building setbacks from the Barnston Island Zone (BI-1);
- Clarify that parking requirements for residential buildings and use only apply to road access properties, with the exception of Barnston Island; and
- Increase the building height maximums in some zones.
The area to which the bylaw applies is land within Electoral Area A, excluding UBC, the University Endowment Lands (UEL), Bowyer Island, and Passage Island.
The rezoning application is consistent with the
Electoral Area A Official Community Plan. As per section 464(2) of the Local Government Act, a Public Hearing is not required for Metro Vancouver Regional District Electoral Area A Zoning Amendment Bylaw No. 1399, 2024. Notice is provided per section 467 of the Local Government Act.
