Peace River Regional District accepting applications for Board of Variance

DAWSON CREEK, B.C. – The Peace River Regional District (PRRD) is accepting applications for individuals interested in serving on the PRRD Board of Variance.

The Board of Variance is an “autonomous body with the ability to vary zoning bylaw regulations in situations where compliance with respect to the siting, dimension or size of a building or structure would cause a person undue hardship,” said the PRRD in a public notice.

The board also deals with additions and structural alterations to non-conforming buildings and meets when applications are received, typically three to five times a year. 

The PRRD is looking for three members who will serve a three-year term ending in 2026.

Electronic participation is available as long as it is not restricted by equipment or facility capacity.

“Members shall serve without remuneration but will be paid for reasonable and necessary expenses that arise directly out of performance of their duties,” said the PRRD.

All interested residents are encouraged to submit their applications to prrd.dc@prrd.bc.ca before 4 p.m. on November 17th, 2023. 

More information on how to apply can be found on the PRRD’s social media post.
