2025 Zoning Bylaw

What is a Zoning Bylaw?

The Lillooet Zoning Bylaw is a legal document that regulates how land and buildings in Lillooet can be used. It sets rules for things like building height, property setbacks, land use types (e.g., residential, commercial, industrial), minimum off-street parking, and more. The bylaw helps guide growth, protect neighbourhood character, and ensure land is used in a safe, orderly, and efficient way. By setting limits to land uses, it prevents conflict between neighbours.

At the June 17, 2025 Regular Council Meeting, Council gave first reading to the new proposed Zoning Bylaw 2025-026. The public engagement period ran from June 25 until August 6, 2025. There was a Public Open House on July 14 from 5-8:30pm in Room 201 of the REC Centre.

The draft bylaw received second reading on Sept. 2, 2025. Council made further decisions related to special topics at the Oct. 7, 2025 Council Meeting. See a summary of decisions made at this meeting here.

Where are we now?

Staff are working on final bylaw revisions with the final draft bylaw set to be published on or before Oct. 23.

Next Steps: Public Hearing

Staff are planning a Public Hearing for sometime mid November. Once the Notice of Public Hearing is published, the District invites the public to submit final comments and feedback on the bylaw from then until the date of the Public Hearing. The public can provide input either by submitting written feedback ahead of the public hearing, or anyone can speak to Council directly at the hearing itself.
