Development Services staff is proposing amendments to all three zoning bylaws in Electoral Area F: Anglemont Zoning Bylaw No. 650 (Bylaw No. 650), Magna Bay Zoning Bylaw No. 800 (Bylaw No. 800), and Scotch Creek/Lee Creek Zoning Bylaw No. 825 (Bylaw No. 825). The amendments proposed would change the parcel coverage regulation from 25% to 30% in specific residential zones that affect waterfront properties along Shuswap Lake and the upland parcels with the same zoning. These amendments do not apply to commercial or industrial-zoned parcels.

Parcel coverage is typically the footprint of buildings and structures within the vertical projection over a parcel and is expressed as a percentage of the parcel area. It does not apply to non-building impervious surfaces such as asphalt or concrete.

• The CSRD Board of Directors gave first reading to these amendments at the September 19, 2019 Board meeting and supported sending out referrals to ministries, agencies, First Nations, local qualified professionals, builders and industry professionals who work in and have a vested interest in the North Shuswap. Referral Comments are available for review below.
• The CSRD Board of Directors gave second reading and delegated a public hearing for these amendments at the February 20, 2020 Board meeting. A public hearing has not yet been scheduled but is anticipated to be in spring 2020. 
• The public hearing was held September 21, 2020.
