How it works
The Village of Alert Bay's Bylaws and Regulations page links a Zoning Map (PDF) and a Zoning Regulation folder. The Village's Official Community Plan folder on its document site holds "Schedule A Zoning Map - Village of Alert Bay Zoning Bylaw No. 418 Consolidated 2019". The Village has no online lookup tool, and the map PDF is an image.
The zoning bylaw is Zoning Bylaw No. 418. Its text could not be read online: the Zoning Regulation folder lists only amending bylaws and a 2020 information sheet about a proposed updated bylaw. So this page cannot say what each zone allows.
Steps
- Open the Zoning Map and find your lot.
- Call the Village Office (250-974-5213) with your address and ask for your zone and its rules.
- Ask whether your plan also needs a building permit. See the building-permit answer.
Good to know
- The 2020 information sheet describes a proposed update. Do not treat it as the current rules.
