Development Variance Permit Applications
PLDVP20240341 (Hornby Co-op): Development Variance Permit
Location: 5875 Central Road, Hornby Island
The Hornby Island Cooperative Association received a development variance permit (DVP) on November 1, 2024 to vary the setback regulations of the Hornby Island Land Use Bylaw Commercial 1 – Retail (C1) (Co-op and Service Station) zone, in order to facilitate a two-phase project for the construction of a new co-op building at 5875 Central Road (PLDVP20240155). An additional DVP application is required to vary the height regulations (PLDVP20240341). Property owners and tenants within 100 metres of the subject property received a statutory public notice in the mail with details of the height variance request, and a copy will be available in the “Proposed Bylaw or Permit” folder below.
The property is a ‘hooked’ parcel, separated by Shields Road running west-east along the road frontages. The north portion consists of the existing Co-op Gas Bar and gravel parking area (0.92ha), and the south of the existing Co-op General Store and Market (0.37ha). The proposed project is located on the southern portion, with site services extending across Shields Road on to the north portion.
The project is planned in two phases. Phase one would include the construction of a new Hornby Island Co-op while maintaining operations in the existing building. On completion, the old building would be demolished, beginning phase two comprising landscaped areas and a front entrance canopy on the building.
The applicant also applied for and received an approved development permit (DP) as required by the property’s location within the “Commercial Centres (Retail & Visitor Accommodations)” Development Permit Area as shown on Schedule “E” to the Hornby Island Official Community Plan.
