Zoning talks signal Chetwynd growth boom
At Tuesday’s council session residents pressed for rezoning as development looms in Chetwynd. Hansen urged status changes along South Access Road to protect his land from being the sole residential lot amid nearby medium density zones. Terra Copia Estates of Vancouver seeks C2 to C1 along 47th–48th Aves to allow a food store and shops. The Roman Catholic Episcopal Corporation of Prince Rupert asked for Al to multi family dwelling zoning for an apartment project. Mount Baker Homes via Realty World urged A1 to C3 for a 45 unit motel with restaurant near the airport road. Council will hold hearings and require direct rezoning applications.
