INTRODUCTION
The Regional Growth Strategy (RGS) for
the Regional District of Nanaimo (RDN)
is an initiative of the RDN, the City of
Nanaimo, the City of Parksville and the
Town of Qualicum Beach to respond to
concerns about the impacts of growth
in the region, since the impacts of
growth span jurisdictional boundaries.
Rapid growth in the late 1980s and
early 1990s raised residents’ concerns
about worsening traffic, loss of open
space and natural areas, increased costs
of services, and changing neighbourhoods. It became clear that population growth projected for the region
would undermine the very attributes
of the region that residents value if
growth was accommodated as it had
been since the 1950’s, through further
urban expansion into farms, forest and
country side.
The RDN and its partners decided
that the planning policy that directs
development in the region should
be shifted, to encourage investment
and development in designated urban
areas, in order to keep urban settlement compact, protect the integrity
of rural and resource areas, protect the
environment, increase servicing efficiency, and retain mobility within the
region. Consequently, a regional growth
strategy, based on a multiple node
development scenario, in which the
majority of new development would
occur in designated urban areas where
mixed uses would prevail and some
future development would occur in
rural areas, was adopted in January of
1997.

CONTEXT
The Regional District of Nanaimo covers
an area of approximately 207,000
hectares on the central east coast of
Vancouver Island, in the Georgia
Strait-Puget Sound Basin, as illustrated
in Map 1.
The Georgia Strait and Puget Sound
areas together form one ecological
unit or natural bioregion, which runs
north-south along a coastal corridor,
stretching from Campbell River and
Powell River, British Columbia, in the
north to Olympia, Washington in the
Map 1: Georgia Strait-Puget Sound Basin
south, and stretches as far east as Hope,
British Columbia and the Cascade
Mountain Range. The ecosystems of the
area are threatened by the impacts of
growth.
Two thirds of British Columbia’s population is clustered in the Basin’s urban
areas of Greater Vancouver and Greater
Victoria, and in smaller urban centres in
the Lower Fraser Valley, on Vancouver
Island, and along the Sunshine Coast
north of Vancouver.

CONTEXT
The population of the Regional District
of Nanaimo increased from 77,624
residents in 1981 to 127,016 residents
in 2001, as illustrated in Table 1. This
means the population in the region
increased 64% during that time, at a
rate of approximately 3% per year, on
average.

Census period growth rates have varied
over the last 25 years, as illustrated in
Table 2. The economic ‘bust’ of the
early 1980s had a dramatic effect on the
region, with the growth rate dropping
from 25% to 7%. Economic recovery
coincided with a more than doubling of
the growth rate in the region in the late
1980s.

The Georgia Strait-Puget Sound Basin
area-is expected to increase in population from approximately six million
people in-1996 to more than nine
million by 2026. Vancouver Island’s
population is forecast to increase
from just over 700,000 to about one
million in the same time period. The
population for the Regional District of
Nanaimo is projected to increase from
127,016 residents in 2001 to 219,321
residents by 2026 (BC Statistics). This
represents a 73% increase in population
in the Regional District of Nanaimo
between 2001 and 2026, at a projected
rate of approximately 2.9% per year on
average.

THE STRATEGY
The regional growth strategy for the Regional District of Nanaimo is comprised of
vision statement, eight goals, 40-policies, and two land use designation-maps.
VISION STATEMENT
The vision statement describes the future desired for the region. It frames the goals
for the region and sets the basic direction for planning, policies and action.
The vision statement for the region is:
The region will be recognized for its outstanding quality of urban and rural life
and for its commitment to environmental protection. We have committed to
working with interested organizations, together achieving:
■
quality residential development – in safe neighbourhoods with well planned
access to nearby workplaces, services, recreation opportunities, and natural
areas;
■
a strong and sustainable economy based on our resource assets, our natural
appeal to tourists, and the footloose industries and activities of the information age;
■
contained urban development, surrounded by contiguous corridors of open
space, protected rural integrity and an end to sprawl;
■
reduced dependency on the automobile as mobility options expand;
■
high standards of environmental protection – that preserves habitat,
enhances ecological diversity, and maintains air and water quality;
■
efficient, state-of-the-art servicing, infrastructure and resource utilization;
. . . vibrant rural and urban communities in a natural paradise!

GOALS
The regional growth strategy establishes eight goals to guide growth in the region
towards the desired future for the region, as articulated in the vision statement for
the regional growth strategy. The eight goals are:
GOAL 1: STRONG URBAN CONTAINMENT: To limit sprawl and focus development
within well defined urban containment boundaries.
GOAL 2: NODAL STRUCTURE: To encourage mixed-use communities that includes
places to live, work, learn, play, shop and access services.
GOAL 3: RURAL INTEGRITY: To protect and strengthen the region’s rural
economy and lifestyle.
GOAL 4: ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION: To protect the environment and minimize ecological damage related to growth and development.
GOAL 5: IMPROVED MOBILITY: To improve and diversify mobility options within
the region – increasing transportation efficiency and reducing dependency on
the automobile.
GOAL 6: VIBRANT AND SUSTAINABLE ECONOMY: To support strategic economic
development and to link commercial and industrial strategies to the land use
and rural and environmental protection priorities of the region.
GOAL 7: EFFICIENT SERVICES: To provide cost efficient services and infrastructure
where urban development is intended, and to provide services in other areas
where the service is needed to address environmental or public health issues
and the provision of the service will not result in additional development.
GOAL 8: COOPERATION AMONG JURISDICTIONS: To facilitate an understanding
of and commitment to the goals of growth management among all levels of
government, the public, and key private and voluntary sector partners.
The regional growth strategy includes 40-policies. These policies combined with the
maps of land use designation provide a program of joint action for the Regional
District of Nanaimo and the member municipalities and other interested parties to
achieve the desired future for the region articulated in the regional growth strategy
vision statement.

POLICY 1C: The RDN and member
goal 1:
Strong Urban
Containment
To limit sprawl and focus
development within well defined
urban containment boundaries.
POLICY 1A: The RDN and member
municipalities agree to designate Urban
Containment Boundaries (UCBs) consistent with the Regional Growth Strategy
in their official community plans for
the purpose of defining urban and rural
areas.
POLICY 1B: The RDN and member
municipalities agree to approve new
urban development only on land
designated Urban Area inside Urban
Containment Boundaries or on land
designated as Sub-Urban Area. Urban
development on land designated
Urban Area inside Urban Containment
Boundaries includes residential development at a density greater than 1 unit
per hectare, commercial uses, and institutional uses. Land that is designated as
Sub-Urban Area may only be used for
residential development to a maximum
density of 7.5 units per hectare, consistent with the official community plan
in place at the date of adoption of this
Regional Growth Strategy.
municipalities agree that Urban
Containment Boundaries (UCBs)
should only be amended every five
years in conjunction with a review
of the regional growth strategy, or
at an interval specified in an official community plan. The RDN and
member municipalities agree that all
UCB changes should be considered
according to the process and criteria
of the Urban Containment and Fringe
Area Management Implementation
Agreement.
POLICY 1D: The RDN and member
municipalities agree to review the
Urban Containment and Fringe
Area Management Implementation
Agreement to address issues regarding
the level and type of development that
warrants consideration as an urban
development on land inside the UCB
and to better coordinate between jurisdictions urban land use and development on land within the UCB.
POLICY 1E: The RDN and member
municipalities agree that the official
community plan for Electoral Area
C may be amended to include the
parcel legally described as Parcel Z,
DDK83923, Sections 12 & 13, Ranges
1 & 2, Cranberry Land District, inside
the Urban Containment Boundary,
provided that the maximum density of
development permitted on the-property
be no greater than 1 unit per-hectare.

goal 2:
■
Nodes should emphasize high quality,
distinctive, human scale design.
Nodal Structure
■
Nodes should be designed to maximize personal safety and security.
■
Nodes should be designed to maximize the desirability and practicality
of walking, bicycling and using
transit, in addition to accommodating
those who must travel by automobile. Linear and car-oriented developments, such as malls and big-box
stores, should be discouraged.
■
Nodes should be designed to accommodate people from a variety of
cultural, economic, and employment
backgrounds. Nodes should not be
allowed to become exclusive places.
The design of housing and public
facilities should reflect the needs of
the broad local community. Nodes
should provide for the housing needs
of many groups – families, singles,
retired, working, the aged, the disadvantaged, and those of lavish or
modest means.
■
The scale of development in nodes
should be linked to the needs of the
community and house desired levels
of population.
To encourage mixed-use
communities that include places to
live, work, learn, play, shop-and
access services.
POLICY 2A: The RDN and member
municipalities agree to encourage a
mix of uses that includes places to
live, work, learn, play, shop and access
services within designated nodal areas
inside Urban Containment Boundaries.
POLICY 2B: The RDN and member
municipalities agree that nodes should
have the following characteristics:
■
Nodes should include a wide range of
places to live, work, learn, play, shop,
and access services.
■
Nodes should include an attractive
public realm that provides a focus and
identity to the community. The character of the public realm should vary
according to the nature of each-node.
■
Approximately twenty percent of
the gross area of each node should
be open space. Open space includes
protected natural areas, water and
coastal features, public parks and
gardens, playfields, golf courses,
public greens and plazas, agricultural
areas (including allotment gardens),
woodlots, and vegetated walkways
and bikeways. Open space may be
publicly or privately owned.
■
Open space should be used to provide
more definition to nodes, to the
extent possible.
R
E G I O N A L
POLICY 2C: The RDN and member
municipalities agree that the design,
character, land uses and ultimate level
of development in designated nodal
areas inside Urban Containment
Boundaries should be developed collaboratively at the local level by governments, residents and business interests.

goal 3:
Rural Integrity
To protect and strengthen the
region’s rural economy and lifestyle
POLICY 3A: The RDN and member
municipalities agree to promote and
encourage the retention of large
rural holdings on land designated as
Resource Lands and Open Space and
lands designated as Rural Residential.
To this end, the RDN and member
municipalities agree that the minimum
parcel size of lands designated as Rural
Residential and Resource Lands and
Open Space will not be reduced below
the minimum parcel size established
in official community plans in place at
the date of the adoption of this regional
growth strategy except where the land
is in a Community Water Service Area
at the date of adoption of this Regional
Growth Strategy, subdivision may be
permitted to the minimum parcel size
allowed by the zoning bylaw with
community water service at the date
of adoption of the Regional Growth
Strategy. Further, the RDN and member
municipalities agree to investigate the
ideal and practical minimum parcel
sizes for resource uses on lands designated as Resource Lands and Open
Space.
POLICY 3B: The RDN and member
municipalities agree to encourage
forestry uses on land designated as
Resource Lands and Open Space,
particularly on land in the Forest Land
Reserve (FLR). The RDN and member
municipalities support the retention
of land in the FLR, but recognize that
there may be some land in the FLR that
is not suitable for forestry. The RDN
authorizes applications to exclude land
in the electoral areas from the FLR to
proceed to the Province, irrespective

of whether the application requires an
amendment to an official community
plan or zoning bylaw, and requests the
Province to make a decision on the
application in the absence of an RDN
position on the applications. The RDN
requests that the Province make its
decision on these applications based on
whether the land is needed for forestry
in-the long term and whether the land
is suitable for forestry, and leave the
consideration of community and land
use-planning issues to the RDN. Should
the Province remove land from the FLR,
the appropriate use of the property will
be-determined by the RDN through
the-official community plan and
zoning-bylaw.
POLICY 3C: The RDN and member
municipalities agree to encourage agricultural uses on land designated as
Resource Lands and Open Space, particularly on land in the Agriculture Land
Reserve. The RDN and member municipalities support the retention of land in
the ALR, but recognize that there may
be some land in the ALR that is not
suitable for agriculture. The RDN authorizes applications to exclude land in the
electoral areas from the ALR to proceed
to the Province, irrespective of whether
the application requires an amendment to an official community plan or
zoning bylaw, and requests the Province
to make a decision on the application
in the absence of an RDN position on
the applications. The RDN requests that
the Province make its decision on these
applications based on whether the land
is needed for agriculture in the long
term and whether the land is suitable
for agriculture, and leave the consideration of community and land use
planning issues to the RDN. Should the

Environmental
Protection
To protect the environment and
minimize ecological damage related
to growth and development.
POLICY 4A: The RDN and member
municipalities agree to work as partners
and individually to protect open space
that reflects the region’s landscape character and ecological integrity, and forms
a system of interconnected areas and
natural corridors capable of sustaining
native plant and animal communities.
POLICY 4B: The RDN and member
municipalities agree to work as partners and individually to identify
and gain a-greater understanding of
regionally significant environmentally
sensitive areas (ESAs) and the natural
biodiversity of the region. The RDN,
member municipalities, the provincial
government, the federal government,
and non-governmental organizations
all have a role to play. The RDN will
encourage the provincial and federal
government to conduct or financially
support field checking and updating of
ESA information, data entry and technology updates, and to make their databases available and affordable.
POLICY 4C: The RDN and member
municipalities agree to consider the
ecological character of the land base in
land and resource use decisions. To that
end, the RDN and member municipalities agree to require an environmental
review for projects with the potential to
negatively affect environmentally sensitive areas, the coastal zone or environmental quality.
POLICY 4D: The RDN and member
municipalities agree to protect streams

and streamside areas in accordance with
applicable provincial and federal legislation. The RDN and member municipalities encourage the federal and provincial government to support the development and implementation of measures
to protect streams and streamside areas
at the local government level.
POLICY 4E: The RDN and member
municipalities agree to protect the
supply and quality of surface water
resources and aquatic habitat through
participation in integrated stormwater
management projects.
POLICY 4F: The RDN and member
municipalities agree to take measures
to identify and protect the groundwater
resources in the region.
POLICY 4G: The RDN and member
municipalities agree to preserve or

public awareness of the importance
and sensitivity of coastal areas through
information bulletins and public meetings.
POLICY 4H: The RDN agrees to pursue
an solid waste management approach
that concentrates on creating less waste,
with the ultimate long term goal of
eliminating the need for waste disposal
(i.e., a-“Zero Waste” approach).
POLICY 4I: The RDN and member
municipalities agree to promote
measures to maintain good air quality

The Map of Land Use Designations
designates land into one of five
different land use categories:
1. Resource Lands and Open Space
2. Rural Residential
3. Sub-Urban Area

opment intensity or extent on lands
already zoned for urban uses are recognized. To this end, jurisdictions should
work together to share ideas and formulate workable approaches to limit future
development in Urban Areas outside
of designated nodes and in rural areas
outside of designated nodes.
Nodes are intended to be complete,
compact communities that include
places to live, work, learn, play, shop,
and access services. Local jurisdictions
may define and create a wide variety of
different types of nodes in urban areas
to suit community conditions.
Each jurisdiction may take different
approaches to managing land uses in
nodes to enhance the viability and
livability of the node.
Nodes in rural (electoral) areas are
called Village Centres. They are essentially urban enclaves in the middle of
rural areas. Village centres are intended

Land that has a primary value for industrial use is designated as Industrial.
This designation includes all land on
which industrial uses are supported by
an official community plan.
Land that is designated as Industrial
should only be used for industrial uses.
The introduction of commercial, residential, or other uses would reduce
the inventory and attractiveness of the

URBAN CONTAINMENT
BOUNDARY
The Urban Containment Boundary
is a-line that defines urban versus
rural areas. The Urban Containment
Boundary is intended to control urban
sprawl and to encourage the development of compact, complete communities. The intention is not necessarily
to develop all land inside the Urban
Containment Boundary; it is also
important to retain areas of green
space inside the Urban Containment
Boundary. The Urban Containment
and Fringe Area Management
Implementation Agreement provides
a process and criteria for the RDN
Board to make adjustments to the
Urban Containment Boundary at variance to the Regional Growth Strategy,
in between Regional Growth Strategy

Industrial Areas is one of the land use
designations of this regional growth
strategy. The Industrial Areas designation includes all land on which industrial uses are supported by the applicable official community plan.
COMMUNITY SEWER SERVICE
Community sewer service is a
communal method of wastewater
management. It consists of collecting
wastewater though a network of pipes
and conveying it to a wastewater treatment plant, releasing the treated liquid
residue (effluent) to a waterbody, and
disposing of the solid residue (sludge)
by whatever means is available,
economical, and not environmentally
damaging.
COMMUNITY WATER SERVICE
Community water service is a
communal method of providing
domestic water. Community water
service systems typically include four
key components: a water source, a
method of filtering and treating water, a
pressure tower and storage, and a local
distribution system.
GOAL
Goals are one of the components of
the regional growth strategy for the
Regional District of Nanaimo. Goals are
what the regional growth strategy has
been designed to achieve.
IMPLEMENTATION AGREEMENT

OFFICIAL COMMUNITY PLAN
The Local Government Act defines an
official community plan as “a statement of objectives and policies to guide
decisions on planning and land use
management, within the area covered
by the plan, respecting the purposes
of local government” (section 875(1)).
The Local Government Act further
states that, “to the extent that it deals
with these matters, an official community plan should work towards the
purpose and goals referred to in section
849 [regional growth strategy goals]”
(section 875 (2)).
Section 877 of the Local Government
Act says that an official community
plan must include statements and map
designations for the area covered by the
plan respecting the following:
■ The approximate location, amount,
type and density of residential development required to meet anticipated
housing needs over a period of at
least 5 years;
■ The approximate location, amount
and type of present and proposed
commercial, industrial, institutional,
agricultural, recreational, and public

plans, zoning bylaws, and other decisions and actions.
REGIONAL CONTEXT
STATEMENT
A regional context statement is a statement accepted by the regional district
board that is included in an official
community plan to identify the relationship between the official community plan and the content of a regional
growth strategy, and, if applicable,
how the official community plan is to
be made consistent with the regional
growth strategy over time. The Local
Government Act establishes the requirements for regional context statements.
REGIONAL GROWTH STRATEGY
The purpose of a regional growth
