Monterra Projects Ltd. is seeking a rezoning at 4680 and 4694 Headquarters Road, Courtenay, for a 131-unit, 3-storey townhome development. Zoning Amendment Bylaw No. 3219 would shift the two lots from R-SSMUH to RM-1. At its regular meeting on April 29, 2026, Council gave the bylaw first, second, and third readings; the vote carried without recorded opposition.
No conditions are specified in the decision record, but the staff presentation outlined "key conditions required prior to final adoption," which typically means servicing, site design, and bonding requirements will be attached. The public notice was published in the Comox Valley Record and on the city website on April 15, 2026 (https://www.courtenay.ca/public-notices/2026-04-15/notice-proposed-zoning-amendment-bylaw-no-3219). No public correspondence or hearing data appears in the available materials, suggesting modest community reaction at this stage.
Monterra Projects Ltd. has operated in the Comox Valley since 2004, building custom homes and multifamily developments, and maintains offices at 515 Duncan Avenue, Courtenay. The RM-1 zoning is a standard multi-family designation; the 131-unit townhome form is consistent with Courtenay's housing policy direction under the recent SSMUH compliance measures. Final adoption rests on the developer satisfying conditions to staff's satisfaction. Barring complications, adoption in early summer 2026 is plausible, with building permit applications to follow shortly thereafter.
