The official text was adopted August 28, 2007, and the current copy is consolidated to Bylaw 4021, 2026. Each zone sets permitted uses, minimum lot size, density, lot coverage, yard setbacks and building height. For residential zones it also covers the number of dwelling units, whether a home-based business is allowed, and ancillary building size.\n\n## Steps\n\n1. Open the City's interactive zoning map and search for your address. It shows zoning, lot size and assessment value.\n2. You can also use the PDF Zoning Map (Schedule B).\n3. Open the Zoning Bylaw and find your zone's section for permitted uses, setbacks, height and lot coverage.\n4. Email planning@campbellriver.ca or call 250-286-5757 to confirm, especially before buying land or paying for plans.\n\n## Good to know\n\n- The City says the map may not be up to date, so confirm with City staff.\n- The City's pages do not name a fee for a zoning confirmation letter. Ask Development Services.","sources":[{"url":"https://www.campbellriver.ca/building-development/zoning","title":"Zoning, City of Campbell River","accessed":"2026-11-05"},{"url":"https://www.campbellriver.ca/building-development/zoning/zoning-map","title":"Zoning Map, City of Campbell River","accessed":"2026-11-05"},{"url":"https://www.campbellriver.ca/building-development/zoning/residential-rental-zoning","title":"Residential and Rental Zoning, City of Campbell River","accessed":"2026-11-05"},{"url":"https://www.campbellriver.ca/media/file/zoning-bylaw-3250-2006-schedule-text","title":"Zoning Bylaw 3250, 2006, Schedule A Text (PDF, consolidated to 4021, 2026)","accessed":"2026-11-05"},{"url":"https://www.campbellriver.ca/building-development/building-permits-inspections","title":"Building Permits and Inspections, City of Campbell River","accessed":"2026-11-05"},{"url":"https://www.campbellriver.ca/building-development/development-applications/development-resources","title":"Development Resources, City of Campbell River","accessed":"2026-11-05"},{"url":"https://www.campbellriver.ca/media/file/guide-constructing-secondary-suite-existing-home","title":"Guide to Constructing a Secondary Suite in an Existing Home, City of Campbell River","accessed":"2026-11-05"}],"sources_read":"2026-11-05","review":{"status":"machine_checked","badge":"Checked against official text","label":"Checked by script, not yet by a person: the official wording behind 5 of 5 facts was matched to the official text."},"urls":{"html":"https://govhandbook.com/ca/bc/campbell-river/zoning-lookup/","markdown":"https://govhandbook.com/ca/bc/campbell-river/zoning-lookup.md","json":"https://govhandbook.com/ca/bc/campbell-river/zoning-lookup.json"}}
