RDMW Zoning Bylaw No. 21, 1972

The Regional District of Mount Waddington's zoning bylaw, which applies in Mount Waddington, Electoral Area A, Mount Waddington, Electoral Area B, Mount Waddington, Electoral Area C, Mount Waddington, Electoral Area D. Our summary of its 3 rural zones, read from the consolidation to 2020-02-18 and checked 2026-10-02. Its other zones aren't summarised here.

The Regional District of Mount Waddington doesn't publish its zoning map as open data, so a PlaceDossier report can't say which of these zones a lot is in: it shows this table and says to ask. Bylaw No. 21 zones most of the rural district, and land it doesn't place in another zone is Rural (A-1). Alder Bay, Coal Harbour, Hyde Creek, Malcolm Island, Quatsino, Telegraph Cove and Woss have bylaws of their own, and Indian Reserves are outside it. Ask the RDMW's planning department which zone a lot is in, or find it on the RDMW's page of community bylaws and zoning maps.

The zones side by side

Zone	Homes allowed	Smallest lot for a subdivision	Lot coverage	Height limit
A-1 Rural	One house or one duplex; with a house, a secondary suite or a cabin (a second detached home up to 93 m², on a lot of at least 1 ha, which may be rented out)	4 ha	Not set	Not set
RA-1 Small Holdings	One house	0.8 ha, with 50 m of frontage	10%	10.5 m
RR-1 Rural Residential	One house	0.4 ha, with 35 m of frontage	15%	10.5 m

"Not set" means the zone itself sets no figure; general rules elsewhere in the bylaw may still apply. Each zone's page has its uses, setbacks and the general rules that apply to it.

Site-specific exceptions listed in the bylaw by legal description can add or change uses for one property, and development permit areas, the ALR and building rules apply on top. Confirm with the RDMW's planning department before you buy or build.
