Legislative Matters
Zoning Amendment Bylaw No. 302 (6935 Dickinson Road)

Council considered and gave two readings to the "District of Lantzville Zoning Amendment Bylaw No. 302, 2022" to rezone a portion of 6935 Dickinson Road from Future Study Area Zone (F-SA) to the Residential 5 Zone (R5) to facilitate subdivision of a portion of the property.

The application is to rezone 1.85 ha (4.57 ac) of 6935 Dickinson Road to facilitate a 9 parcel low density / large-lot residential subdivision. The applicant has proposed a community amenity contribution in the amount of $3,000 for each new additional parcel created through subdivision.

Council also resolved that adoption of Bylaw No. 302 not be considered until the registration of a covenant to install a permanent speed reader sign in the vicinity of Dickinson Road to the satisfaction of the Director of Public Works, or funds have been provided to the District to purchase and install a speed reader sign in the vicinity of Dickinson Road.

A public hearing will be scheduled to provide the public opportunity to comment on the proposed Bylaw before Council considers third reading.
