Consultation has concluded
The Regional District of Nanaimo (RDN) is proposing the implementation of Development Cost Charges (DCCs) for community park development in Electoral Areas:
Electoral Area A - Cedar, South Wellington, Yellowpoint, Cassidy Electoral Area B - Gabriola, DeCourcy, Mudge Islands Electoral Area G - French Creek, San Pareil, Little Qualicum Electoral Area H - Bowser, Qualicum Bay, Deep Bay
This consultation is primarily focused on the developers and home builders currently working in these RDN Electoral Areas.
The new Parks DCCs would not be applied to any development outside Electoral Areas A, B, G and H.
DCCs are fees collected from land developers, on a user pay basis, to help fund the cost of the new infrastructure and parks needed to service new development. DCCs help ensure developers pay their fair share of the costs required to develop new infrastructure and park improvements. The RDN has identified park development projects that need to be constructed to support the additional demands generated by new residential development over the next 20 years.

Yes, the Community Parks DCCs Bylaw will be applicable to all single family lot subdivisions and the construction of multi-family buildings (to be charged per unit) regardless of the ownership structure of the developer. If the Community Parks Bylaw is approved, the RDN Board could then consider the adoption of a separate DCC Reductions Bylaw that would outline the specific conditions under which DCCs could be waived or reduced. The Local Government Act allows DCC Reductions only for affordable rental housing under the two categories below:
1. Not for profit affordable rental housing (rentals only);
2. For-profit affordable rental housing (affordable is defined by the bylaw)
