Notice is hereby given that an electronic/telephone Public Hearing affecting “Regional District of Bulkley-Nechako Zoning Bylaw No. 1800, 2020” (the Zoning Bylaw) will be held on Monday, April 8th, 2024 at 7:00 pm for Bylaw No. 2033, 2024.
The Zoning Bylaw is proposed to be amended by Bylaw No. 2033, 2024 by adding the following text to the Principal Uses list in the Light Industrial – Contracting Zone (M1A):
“f) Motor Vehicle Rentals only on the Parcel legally described as Lot 3, Section 2, Township 1A, Range 5, Coast District, Plan 4733.”
With the adoption of the new Zoning Bylaw in 2020, the subject property was rezoned from the Light Industrial – Contracting Service Zone (M1B) to a new Light Industrial Contracting Zone (M1A). The subject property is used for Motor Vehicle Rentals, which is not a permitted use in the new M1A Zone. Proposed Bylaw No. 2033, 2024 would allow Motor Vehicle Rentals use on the subject property.
The subject property at 3844 Henry Road is approximately 580 m northwest of the Town of Smithers and legally described as Lot 3, Section 2, Township 1A, Range 5, Coast District, Plan 4733. The subject property is shown outlined in black and labelled “Subject Property” on the Location Map.
