A public hearing will be held on April 27 regarding an application to amend the Official Community Plan and Zoning to permit a 16-lot subdivision on a property in Qualicum Beach.

The hearing will be part of the agenda of the Town of Qualicum Beach’s regular council meeting at 10 a.m. at town hall.

The developers of the property, located at 850 Eaglecrest Dr./2075 Island Highway, want the lot rezoned from Residential 1 (R1) to Residential 12 (R12) and change Subdivision District B designation to Subdivision District D to allow the project to proceed.

If Bylaw No. 580.112, 2019 is adopted, it would permit on each parcel of the 16-lot subdivision a maximum of two dwellings in the form of duplexes or single family dwellings with garden suites or secondary suites.
