The Zoning Bylaw regulates how land, buildings and properties can be used in Courtenay. It divides the city into zones — such as residential, commercial, industrial and agricultural — and sets rules for each zone. This includes building heights, setbacks, lot coverage and permitted uses.
The Zoning Bylaw helps:
- guide growth and development
- support safe, livable neighbourhoods
- protect the character of the community
- align land use 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.
