Re: Development Permit Application to Allow for the Construction of a 
new Hornby Island Fire Hall 
  
Owner: Crown Provincial C/O Vancouver Island Forest Lands and Natural 
Resource Operations 
Applicant: Comox Valley Regional District 
Location: Central Road 
 
THE PROPOSAL: 
This development   permit (DP)   application has   been   submitted   to   allow   for   the 
construction of a new fire hall for Hornby Island. 
BACKGROUND 
Funding  for  a  new  fire  hall  was  approved  by  referendum  in  2015.    This  application 
(Attachment  1) has  been  submitted  to  allow  for  the  construction  of  that  facility.    The 
facility  is  proposed  to  be  built  upon  a  Crown  Land  tenure  held  by  the  Comox  Valley 
Regional  District  under  License  No.  114434  (Attachment  2)  which  has  been  issued  by 
the Province for fire hall purposes.   
The subject area is designated as a development permit area by the “Hornby Island 
Official  Community  Plan  Bylaw  No.  104,  2002”, Section  6.9.2.4 which  designates  the 
area as an Environmental Protection Development Permit Area (DPA) with the purpose 
to protect groundwater recharge areas. 
SITE CONTEXT 
The subject area (Figure 1) is located on the north side of Central Road adjacent to Joe 
King  Park  which  is  located  on  the  southeast.  The  site  under  license  is  approximately 
one   hectare   in   size   and   has   been  used   by   the   Ministry   of   Transportation   and 
Infrastructure as a driveway to access structural fill and road surfacing gravel stored on 
the  adjacent  property.    The  site  supports  smaller  coniferous  trees  with  an  associated 
understory with some clear areas.  There are currently no structures on the property.
