Enforcement Practices for Alternative Forms of Housing (Updated)

 

Recommendation

The Electoral Areas Committee recommends to the Capital Regional District (CRD) Board:

1.                     That the existing practice of CRD Building Regulation Bylaw and BC Building Code enforcement be continued, primarily responding to complaints and observations by Inspectors during their normal course of duty of safety, health, and environmental concerns and issuing Stop Work Notices and Do No Occupy Notices when warranted for non-compliant dwelling units;

2.                     Occupancy of recreational vehicles, without alterations for permanent or long term use, will be considered a land use matter and referred to the local land use authority; and

3.                     That the CRD advocate to the Province for a review of inclusion of alternative forms of housing within the BC Building Code.
