Council is being asked to adopt the Amenity Cost Charge Reserve Fund Bylaw 2026 No. 7445 at its May 4, 2026, meeting. The bylaw would establish a dedicated reserve fund for amenity cost charges, allowing the municipality to collect developer contributions as part of rezoning and building permit approvals. The extracted materials do not include the proposed charge rates, amenity project categories, or geographic applicability. If adopted, the bylaw introduces a new cost layer that will affect pro formas for current and near-term applications in the municipality.

A rezoning application for an undisclosed address in Nanaimo, BC, with an applicant known to the municipality, will be presented to the City’s Planning and Development Committee on May 4, 2026. The proposal requests a change to the property’s land use designation. No meeting outcome was provided.
