Council is being asked to adopt the Servicing Allocation Policy, which provides a framework for allocating limited water and sanitary servicing capacity to building permit and subdivision applications. The policy will directly affect developers and builders in areas of the municipality where water and sanitary infrastructure is constrained, potentially delaying projects that cannot secure an allocation. The policy’s specific allocation criteria, thresholds, and priority rules are not detailed in the agenda materials.

A rezoning application for an undisclosed property in North Cowichan, BC, will be considered by Municipal Council on May 20, 2026. The applicant seeks to change the permitted land use on the site. No outcome has been determined at this time.
