FW zoning in BC
FW means whatever the bylaw that zones the lot says: there is no provincial FW zone. 3 bylaws we've summarised use it, from 1 local government. Each calls it Foreshore and Water. What it allows is below, bylaw by bylaw.
FW in each bylaw

|---|---|
| Columbia Shuswap Regional District Foreshore and Water · Ranchero / Deep Creek Zoning Bylaw No. 751 | None |
| Columbia Shuswap Regional District Foreshore and Water · Electoral Area E Zoning Bylaw No. 841 | None |
| Columbia Shuswap Regional District Foreshore and Water · Electoral Area 'B' Zoning Bylaw No. 851 | None |
Listed by local government, not ranked. "Not set" means the zone itself sets no figure; general rules elsewhere in its bylaw may still apply. Each zone's page has its uses, setbacks and the bylaw's sections.
Two lots both zoned FW under different bylaws can allow quite different things, and provincial law sets a floor of homes on most house zones in towns (how many homes can I build?). Site-specific exceptions, development permit areas and the ALR apply on top. Find the lot's own zone with the search above, then confirm with the local government before you buy or build.
