The Cowichan Valley Regional District said adopting a Temporary Use Permit (TUP) would apply to all CVRD Electoral Areas and provide a wider range of flexibility for businesses within them.
According to the district, TUPs are not available yet to most rural property owners and adopting the new bylaw would change all of that.
“If the bylaw is adopted, the CVRD Board may issue TUPs to allow temporary commercial and industrial activities that are not currently permitted under CVRD zoning regulations,” they said.
A public information session is scheduled to take place on June 18 to offer more information and provide a chance for greater understanding on how the changes will be supported in the new TUP plan.
The board is expected to return to the table on June 24 to consider first reading of the TUP bylaw.
