The Regional District of Fraser Fort-George plans to engage residents in Electoral Area G on zoning unzoned land around five lakes. The district aims to regulate land use and density by zoning the first 100 meters around each lake's natural boundary.
The Regional District of Fraser Fort-George is planning to engage residents in Electoral Area G about zoning unzoned land around five lakes: Summit Lake, Tacheeda Lakes, Kerry Lake, McLeod Lake, and Tudyah Lake. The district aims to zone the first 100 meters of land around each lake's natural boundary, affecting approximately 942.7 hectares (9.5 square kilometers). Most of this land is Crown Land. Zoning would regulate land use and density if the Province decides to open it for development.
Currently, there are no restrictions on use or density. Before proceeding, district administration wants to hear from residents about their support for zoning and proposes to spend three to four months in 2025 engaging with them. This will include opportunities for written comments and a public meeting. Notice of the meeting will be sent to around 244 properties within 200 meters of the affected lakes. Staff recognize that an existing zoning designation might not meet residents' needs, so a new one may be created. For the initial engagement, staff recommends the Residential/Seasonal 2 (R/S2) zone as a starting point. This zone allows for Recreation Cabin and Residential-Single Family uses due to the limited permitted uses and remote location

The report presented at the board meeting highlights the overlapping roles of the provincial and local governments in rural subdivision approvals. The bylaw, which sets standards for water and sewage systems in new developments, has led to multiple variance requests in recent years. The district argues that repealing the bylaw would allow the provincial approving officer (PAO) to rely on provincial legislation and guidelines, ultimately simplifying the process.
