Subdivision Bylaw Update
Overview
What are we doing?
The Regional District of Central Kootenay (RDCK) is in the process of updating its subdivision bylaw. The current subdivision bylaw was adopted in 2011 and the RDCK has had a subdivision bylaw in place since 1998.
What is the purpose?
The primary goal of this project is to create a new bylaw that reflects the needs of the RDCK as they relate to subdivision. It is anticipated that the new bylaw will repeal and replace the existing one.
Why is this important?
The bylaw applies to all electoral areas and regulates the following aspects of subdivision: access, parkland dedication, and works and services (i.e. water and sewerage requirements). This update will enhance clarity in the development review process, while ensuring that subdivision regulations align with current provincial legislation and best practices.
