City of Courtenay Official Community Plan - 2026 update

B

-74-

Located at the Ryan Road and Anderton Road intersection, this Neighbourhood Centre is an area for future development. These lands are largely undeveloped, owned by a single landowner, and present an opportunity for coordinated and comprehensive local area planning for this strategic location along significant regional routes: Comox Airport, Little River Ferry, and the Canadian Forces Base in Comox. A renewed vision for these lands has been identified as supportive of Courtenay’s long term urban growth framework concept of the establishment of a secondary growth centre surrounded by a mix of housing, generally in alignment with the existing Comprehensive Development (CD) Zone (See Page 83 of OCP for more on the Crown Isle CD Zone). Rezonings for additional density, new uses or other development are strongly discouraged before Council adopts a Local Area Plan within this area. The local area plan shall be guided by the following objectives and policies: Planning Objectives 1. Optimize housing delivery and diversity – Increase the housing diversity and density of Crown Isle’s previous single-family focus. 2. Complete neighbourhoods – Shape the area’s growth to support 10-minute 3. Transportation modal choice – Structure land use, density and transportation systems to enhance the City’s goals of shifting modal share away from the automobile and reduce transportation-related greenhouse gas emissions. neighbourhoods including sufficient employment and recreational uses.

The Neighbourhood Centre designation for the industrial and Tin Town lands has been identified as supportive of Courtenay’s long term growth vision given its existing mix of uses and location near recent residential development. Within these lands, uses that are similar to the Tin Town ‘live-work’ and light industrial options will be available throughout the Neighbourhood Centre and encouraged to support a neighbourhood character that connects historical uses with future needs, including ecological restoration of Piercy Creek.
