2-6380 Lakes Road

Masika Allan and Randy Westlake are seeking a rezoning at 2-6380 Lakes Road, North Cowichan, to permit up to 10 commercial-assembly events annually with a maximum of 80 attendees each. As stated in the Municipality of North Cowichan’s public notice (northcowichan.ca), council is conducting a second public hearing on May 20, 2026, after receiving new information regarding covenant and road-widening conditions following the first hearing. The outcome will determine whether the bylaw proceeds to third reading or adoption. Correspondence totals 94 letters, with 56 in support and 38 opposed. The dominant concerns cluster around: - traffic impacts - noise - neighbourhood character - road-widening obligations - land-use compatibility The 56-to-38 split indicates more support than is typical for a commercial-assembly rezoning in a rural-residential interface, though the road-widening and traffic themes are likely to surface again at the hearing. The May 20 hearing is the immediate milestone. If council proceeds to third reading after the hearing, adoption could follow in summer 2026.

A rezoning application for 2-6380 Lakes Road in North Cowichan, submitted by Masika Allan and Randy Westlake, will be considered by the Municipality of North Cowichan on May 20, 2026. No decision has been reported.
