From Village of Port Clements Zoning Bylaw No. 444, 2024 (adopted February 17, 2026). The text is from the Feb 17, 2026 Council agenda package (item G-1, pages 48-116 of the package PDF) because the posted bylaw (https://portclements.ca/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/Zoning-Bylaw.pdf) is a scan with no text layer. The bylaw was read a third time and adopted on February 17, 2026. pdf_page numbers below are page numbers of the agenda package. Each zone has its own page with its uses, lot sizes, heights and setbacks. Zone pages are drafts taken from the bylaw text and not yet reviewed by a person.

How it works

Zoning Bylaw No. 444 was read a first time June 17, 2024 and adopted February 17, 2026. It repealed Zoning Bylaw No. 184 (1990) and its amendments. It sets fourteen zones: R-1, R-2, RM-1, MH-2, C-1, C-2, M-1, M-2, M-2-A, M-3, I-1, I-2, P, RS and A-1. Each zone sets permitted uses, minimum parcel size, site coverage, setbacks and building height.

Steps

  1. Ask the Village Office for the zone of your parcel, or look at the Zoning Map attached to the bylaw.
  2. Read your zone's section in the bylaw for permitted uses, setbacks and height.
  3. Call 250-557-4295 or email office@portclements.ca to confirm before you plan work.

Good to know

  • The zoning map is a schedule signed by the Mayor and Village Administrator. No online map tool was found.
  • The bylaw's table of contents calls the map Schedule A while section 7.2 says Schedule B, so ask for the current map.
  • The standalone bylaw PDF on the Village's bylaw page has no readable text, so the bylaw is cited here from the council agenda package.
