Council gave first, second and third readings to Zoning Amendment Bylaw No. 3222 to rezone 1700 Cumberland Road, Courtenay, to MH-3, permitting four additional manufactured home units. The vote carried; council noted the rezoning aligns with the Official Community Plan, which prohibits a public hearing under the Local Government Act.
The property is Dogwood Mobile Home Park, a 25-pad manufactured home park on 4.06 acres, currently listed for sale with zero vacancy (mobilehomeparks.ca). The rezoning would bring the total to 29 pads, strengthening the asset’s investment profile for a buyer seeking immediate income with modest upside — particularly if the expansion pads can be developed with limited site work given the park is on full municipal services.
With three readings passed, the bylaw now moves to adoption, the final step. No conditions were attached, and no further public input is required. Adoption is a procedural certainty, likely at a subsequent council meeting.
A rezoning application for 1700 Cumberland Road in Courtenay, BC, was approved by Council on May 13, 2026. The applicant proposed a change to the property’s zoning designation. The motion was carried.
