Residential units, excluding secondary suites, would not be allowed to exceed 800. Up to 100 assisted living facility units would be permitted.
A controversial development proposal next to the Englishman River goes to Parksville council on Monday for a rezoning vote.
If the plan passes third reading on Monday the proposal at 1465 Greig Rd. south of the city would go forward at a later date for fourth and final reading on the needed rezoning. Although the developer has said the project would withstand a 500-year flood level, many area residents remain unconvinced.The site is on a floodplain and includes an area which now holds water, said one speaker, adding if that was lost it could result in high water levels in the river and damage to fish habitat.
They are concerned that rain runoff into the river would contain contaminants detrimental to the river and its ecosystem.
