Bylaw 2500 Project

The Bylaw 500 Review and Update Project resulted in the adoption of Regional District of Nanaimo Zoning Bylaw No. 2500, 2024 (Bylaw 2500). With the adoption of Bylaw 2500, the Bylaw 500 Review and Update Project has been renamed the Bylaw 2500 Project for the remaining two phases.

The Bylaw 2500 Project is structured into the following phases:

Phase One: Housing and Related Bylaws and Policies
Focus on initiatives related to housing and affordability.

Phase Two: Addressing Emerging Issues
The final phase aims to tackle additional concerns that may arise, ensuring the bylaw remains responsive and effective.

Phase one is scheduled to begin in 2025 with the creation of a project Terms of Reference (TOR). Following Board approval of the TOR, this page will be updated with additional information about the scope of the project and process that will be followed.
