What is the Joe Rich Rural Land Use Bylaw? |
||||||||||||||||||
|
The Joe Rich Rural Land Use Bylaw (RLUB) is a set of regulations and policies that govern the area located in the vicinity of Highway 33, east of the City of Kelowna. The Joe Rich RLUB designates land uses for a rural area. It contains some of the elements of a zoning bylaw and an official community plan. A RLUB is intended to be a simple, comprehensive document for a rural area. Each land use designation has a set of regulations and permitted uses. When a use or density is proposed on a specific property that does not meet the RLUB regulations, a RLUB amendment application may be submitted for consideration by the Regional Board. |

The RLUB also contains policies that provide a framework for making land use decisions. These policies help guide Regional Board decisions related to proposed amendments to the RLUB. All development must conform to the relevant policies of the RLUB. It is important to remember that the land use policies reflect the objectives of the community and are the result of a long process involving considerable public input. |
