Zoning & Official Community Plan

Zoning is established by each municipality or regional district to regulate how land, buildings, and other structures may be used. For example, residential zones can be defined to reflect different types of residential uses in a community such as single-detached, duplex, and multi-family housing. The following may be regulated within a zone:

• The use and density of land, buildings, and other structures;
• Location, size, and dimensions of buildings and other structures and permitted uses;
• Location of uses on the land and within buildings and other structures; and
• Shape, dimensions, and size of all parcels of land created by subdivision (this can include establishing minimum and maximum parcel sizes).

The bylaw and all amendments can be found here on this page. 

The Official Community Plan (OCP) is a guiding document that outlines the vision, goals, and policies for the growth and development of the Village of Fraser Lake. It reflects the community's priorities, balancing economic development, environmental sustainability, and quality of life.

The OCP serves as a roadmap for land use, infrastructure, housing, transportation, and more, helping to shape a thriving and resilient future for Fraser Lake. It provides a framework for decision-making that aligns with the needs and aspirations of our residents and stakeholders.

To learn more about the OCP and how it impacts our community, please explore the full document or contact the Village office for additional information.
