1209 Island Highway East

Council issued Development Permit No. 25-PDP169 at 1209 Island Highway East, Parksville, for three new commercial buildings, improvements to one existing building, and a drive‑thru. The vote was unanimous, with the permit amended to add an enhanced vegetative buffer and stormwater management to pre‑development levels. The drive‑thru drew informal complaints from neighbouring mobile home park residents but is a permitted use under the existing CS‑1 zone, so council’s authority was limited to form and character conditions. No public speakers or written correspondence were recorded. Engineering requirements for sidewalks, lighting, and stormwater will be addressed at the building-permit stage.

A development permit application for 1209 Island Highway East in Parksville will be considered at a Council meeting on May 4, 2026. The applicant seeks approval for the proposed development. No outcome has been issued.
