Regional Zoning Bylaw

The Peace River Regional District (PRRD) is creating a new Regional Zoning Bylaw to replace the five existing ones, some of which date back to 1976. These bylaws dictate property use, including the number of homes allowed, building setbacks, maximum sizes for accessory buildings, and home business regulations. They also specify if land can be used for agriculture, residential, industrial, or commercial purposes.

Why Update the Bylaw?

The new bylaw aims to:

• Simplify: Combine multiple bylaws into one for better accessibility.
• Update Regulations: Incorporate community feedback on:
  • Accessory building sizes
  • Home-based business rules
  • Secondary and Detached Suites
• Reduce Red Tape: Streamline processes to support local residents, agriculture and industries.
• Modernize: Replace outdated regulations from 1976.

The project will gather public input through surveys and community events. Subscribe on this project page for updates!
