(April 2024) Staff at the City of Powell River are continuing review of the Benchlands Project application from Couverdon Real Estate. The application proposes a Local Area Plan (LAP) and Comprehensive Development Zone (CD Zone) for the Benchlands Property which will require amendments to the Official Community Plan and zoning bylaws. The review period by the City includes referrals to agencies for feedback on the proposal. When ready, staff will make recommendations to City Council on the path forward, for their consideration. This is expected later this year, though no specific timeline is available.
The Couverdon team remains engaged in the process – and looks forward to it moving to next steps. In the meantime, the team is regularly spending time in Powell River, meeting with members of the community and recently attending a Couverdon-sponsored performance of the Au Tour Dance Company by the BC Movements Arts Society.
