The Zoning Bylaw regulates how land, buildings, and properties can be used in Courtenay. It defines zones across the city—like residential, commercial, industrial, and agricultural—and sets rules for what can be built in each zone, including building heights, setbacks, lot coverage, and permitted uses.
The Zoning Bylaw helps:
- Guide growth and development
- Support safe and livable neighbourhoods
- Protect the character of the community
- Ensure land use aligns with the Official Community Plan (OCP)
If you're planning to build, renovate, start a business, or develop land, the Zoning Bylaw is your key reference.
