Public Hearing

The Lake Country District Council is holding a public hearing to consider Zoning Amendment Bylaw 1173, 2021, which would add Section 10.15 Short Term Vacation Rental Regulations to the Zoning Bylaw. Currently these regulations are only in the definition of Short Term Vacation Rentals, not the body of the bylaw, so the District cannot enforce them. The hearing includes public comment and letters received before and after the agenda posting.
