The City will take a comprehensive look at all parking requirements in residential zones. This will include considering lowering existing parking minimums. At this time, fully removing parking minimums is not being explored.
The City will also consider expanding the Downtown Off-Street Parking Specified area, which would expand the area where non-residential land uses are not required to provide any parking.

The Open House will include boards for the public that have information about the HAF as well as questions posed for each of the 4 initiatives covered at the event. Following the Open House, we will share the poster boards and information here on the Get Involved Page. Also following the event, the City will also be sharing the questions from the Open House as a survey online so that we can gather feedback more broadly.
Please check back on the HAF Get Involved page after the Open House for more information!

Medicine and health support is a provincial matter. The City does not have jurisdiction over this system.
However, as part of the Official Community Plan updates that will be occurring, Vancouver Island Health will be consulted as part of the engagement process for a new Official Community Plan and the City can see where there are opportunities to support the system.
Further, adding more housing variety to the city could make it more possible for more medical professionals to move to Campbell River.
Thank you for your contribution!
