LAND USE PLAN
Downtown Mixed-Use
The land use strategy and related policies focus on maintaining
the Downtown as the Village’s primary commercial centre. The
Village welcomes mixed-buildings and infilling of vacant lots
with multi-storey buildings that have an active street presence.
The Downtown should be walkable with plenty of sidewalks,
pathways, public space, and inspired building and space
design.
Neighbourhood Mixed Use
The intent of the Neighbourhood Mixed-Use area is to provide
additional commercial opportunities close to where people
live without drawing away from the Village’s major commercial
areas (Downtown and Highway 93). Neighbourhood MixedUse areas should stay small and focus on serving daily needs of
the residents within walking distance.
Highway Tourist Corridor
The intent of the Highway Tourist Corridor is to guide and
direct future redevelopment of the area as a vibrant tourist
destination with unique architecture and a mix of tourist
accommodations and commercial opportunities.

The intent of the Tourist Accommodation Campground land use is to
continue to provide campgrounds with the opportunity to use their land
suitably for short-term overnight campground style accommodations.

residential densities, including townhouses, apartments and other forms of
