Official Community Plan Bylaw No. 1230, 2025 applies to all lands within the Village of Cumberland municipal boundary. In general terms, Bylaw 1230 sets out a long-term vision, goal and policies to guide land use, growth and change in Cumberland. Bylaw 1230 also shapes development through development permit area guidelines that protect sensitive ecosystems and regulate the form and character of multi-unit residential, commercial and industrial development.
Zoning Bylaw No. 1238, 2025 applies to all lands within the Village of Cumberland municipal boundary. Bylaw 1238 is one of the tools for the Village to implement the land use and growth management goals and policies in the Official Community Plan. Bylaw 1238 regulates land use, creating a consistent set of rules for residential, commercial, industrial areas and other types of land uses.
Bylaw 1230 and Bylaw 1238 implement the new requirements of the Local Government Act to designate and zone sufficient land to meet the projected 5- and 20-year housing need in the community.
