To have the buildings knocked down and property cleaned up, he had to get a development permit from the District of 100 Mile House. Noting the properties are zoned R-2 Residential, Dickie’s permit application stated that once the demolition was completed, he had no further development plans at this time.

The present use of the property conformed to the District’s zoning bylaw, and leaving the land vacant also conformed to the bylaw. However, Dickie was advised any changes of use would require a zoning review and may trigger a zoning amendment. It was also noted that both lots were designated Commercial Central

Business District in the 100 Mile House Official Community Plan, and leaving the lots vacant didn’t create a non-conformity issue. In her report to council, District planner Joanne Doddridge noted that issuing a development permit doesn’t preclude the applicant from meeting the requirements of all municipal bylaws, includ-
ing the Subdivision & Development Servicing Bylaw, Zoning Bylaw, Building Bylaw, Sign Permit, Demolition Permit. The demolition process attracted several interested onlookers and passers-by also stopped briefly to watch the big excavator knock the houses and ancillary buildings down over two days.
