Land Use Zoning Bylaws within Area B of the CRD

Area B of the Cariboo Regional District encompasses an area approximately 1419 square km. with a population of approximately 4,338 people based upon the CRD's website (http://www.cariboord.bc.ca/).  It is referred to as "Quesnel West / Bouchie Lake" but in fact incorporates many other rural based communities - e.g. Bouchie Lake, Milburn Lake, parts of Baker Creek, Parkland (10 Mile Lake), Moose Heights, Cinema, and a small area to the east of Hyw. 97 North.

This area is subject to 2 particular bylaws governing rural land use and zoning which Area B residents should be aware of and informed about.  Bylaw 3504 (Quesnel Fringe Area Zoning Bylaw) and Bylaw 3505 (North Cariboo Area Rural Land Use Bylaw) can be viewed at http://www.cariboord.bc.ca/Documents/Bylaws.aspx.

Bylaw 3504 applies specifically to the Quesnel Fringe Planning Area which contains parts of Electoral Areas A, B, C and I in the CRD including the Dragon Lake and 2 Mile Flats area, the West Quesnel and West Fraser areas, the Bouchie Lake area, 10 Mile Lake, and Barlow Creek areas (see map below).

The purpose of Bylaw 3504 is to establish land use regulations for the Quesnel Fringe Planning Area consistent with the existing official community plan policies relevant to specific portions of this area.

For all property owners within Area B, it is well worth determining whether your land is within the Quesnel Fringe.  If it is, your land is subject to Bylaw 3504; if it is not, it is subject to Bylaw 3505.
