Midcoast Morning

Following push-back from members of the community, a zoning change proposal failed to pass first reading at Nanaimo City Council on Monday. Council heard from 8 delegations opposed to a rezoning application for 2367 Arbot Road, which is currently home to the Westwood Lake Tennis Club. The proposal was to change the land’s zoning from commercial recreation centre to low density residential. Conceptual plans submitted with the rezoning application suggested a potential redevelopment on the site of three townhouse buildings of up to three stories, working out to about 38 units of housing.
