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.

Located at the Ryan Road and Anderton Road intersection, this Neighbourhood Centre is a future development opportunity. Anderton Road is currently a jurisdictional boundary between the City of Courtenay and unincorporated lands within the Comox Valley Regional District. Within the planning horizon of the OCP, lands within Courtenay’s boundaries to the west of this centre are expected to develop under their existing zoning as residential developments with a mix of housing choices, thus supporting more demand within close proximity of this future Neighbourhood Centre. Existing undeveloped School District 71 and park lands will form an important part of the new neighbourhood. The adjacent unincorporated lands are identified in the Regional Growth Strategy as Settlement Expansion Areas to be eventually incorporated into the adjoining municipality. The neighbourhood has been identified as supportive of Courtenay’s long-term growth vision given the existing zoning development opportunity and its strategic location along significant regional routes: Comox Airport, Little River Ferry, and the Canadian Forces Base in Comox. Given that these lands are undeveloped, a local area plan approved by Council will be required before any new development approvals are issued for the identified area. The local area plan shall include development concept and detailed land use, transportation, and parks networks that are functional and well-coordinated with other areas of Courtenay. Regional consideration and coordination will be an important part of the future planning of this neighbourhood centre.
