Notice of First Reading
The City of Kimberley is considering first reading of the following proposed zoning bylaw amendment on Monday, March 24, 2025 at 7:00 pm:
Bylaw No. 2780, Amendment No. 179, 2025 to City of Kimberley Zoning Bylaw No. 1850, 1994
The proposed zoning amendments would establish regulations to prohibit the future development of drive-through services and gas stations. All existing drive-through services and gas stations would become non-conforming uses that may continue to operate, including maintenance and changes in business ownership, until the use is changed or discontinued for a continuous period of six months.
To facilitate this change, the following amendments are proposed:
Amend Section 3 (Interpretation) to add new definitions for alternative fuel infrastructure (direct current fast charger, hydrogen vehicle refueling station), drive-through service, and vehicle service station;
Amend Section 4 (General Regulations) to include ‘drive-through service’ and the ‘sale of petroleum derived fuels for refueling vehicles’ in the list of uses prohibited in all zones;
Amend Section 7 (Zones, C-3 Zone) to remove gasoline sales and add vehicle service station to the list of permitted principal uses in the C-3 zone.
Bylaw No. 2780 may be viewed at City Hall on weekdays (excluding statutory holidays) between the hours of 8:30 am and 4:45 pm, or by following the link below:
You may provide input to the proposed bylaw by submitting comments in writing to City Hall (drop-off in the mail slot, email planning@kimberley.caor fax 250-427-5252) by 2:00 pm on the day of first reading.
