Public feedback has played an important role in shaping the updated Zoning Bylaw and Official Community Plan (OCP) amendments for the Eaglecrest Golf Course lands. After making changes in response to public comment at the October 6, 2025 Public Hearing, Council adopted the Zoning Bylaws and OCP Amendments at its Regular Meeting on October 22, 2025.
These updates form a key part of the Town’s due-diligence and financing process ahead of the potential purchase of the Lands by November 1, 2025.
Public Concerns Addressed
Council heard from many residents who shared thoughtful input about parkland, density, and land use. In response, several important changes were made to reflect community priorities:
-
Parkland: New parkland will be dedicated south of Royal Dornoch Drive, including a pedestrian link to Fairways Drive.
-
Density: Residential densities have been reduced so that only one parcel exceeds 60 units per hectare, equivalent to four dwelling units on a standard residential parcel (permitted under 2023 Provincial legislation Bill 44).
-
Land Use: The commercial area at Eaglecrest and Country Club Drive has been removed and replaced with multi-residential zoning.
