Help to Preserve Saltair’s Rural Charm
The CVRD plans to reduce the minimum lot size in R2 zones from 2 acres to 1 acre, allowing subdivision into smaller suburban-style lots.
Why It Matters
-
Loss of rural character and forested areas
-
Increased housing density with suites/carriage homes
-
Decline in biodiversity and local wildlife
-
Strain on water, sewage, and infrastructure
-
Potential rise in property taxes
Take Action
This change may be finalized in Fall 2025. If you oppose it, please sign the petition to keep the 2-acre minimum in rural Saltair.
“I oppose the removal of the 2-acre minimum lot size in Saltair’s Official Community Plan and request its reinstatement to preserve our community’s rural character.”
