6 Treasure Trail

Nanaimo council is being asked to impose a remedial action requirement under Section 72 of the *Community Charter* at 6 Treasure Trail, directing the property owner to either bring an unpermitted accessory building into compliance or demolish it within 120 days. The property is a 1,157-square-foot, single-family dwelling built in 1960 on a standard residential lot. The existing accessory structure was built without permits; if council approves the order, the clock starts on a retroactive building permit application or demolition. If neither occurs, the city may proceed with demolition at the owner's expense. The city’s building permit portal already contains a file—BP118713—associated with this address, suggesting a prior or pending application that may relate to the accessory structure. The portal record is marked as scanned but provides no further detail, leaving open whether a compliance pathway is already underway or whether a previously submitted permit was abandoned. The enforcement action itself indicates Nanaimo is willing to use its Section 72 powers to compel remediation of unauthorized construction, rather than resolving matters through bylaw fines alone. For anyone transacting on the property, an outstanding remedial order becomes a material disclosure item with a binding compliance timeline. The accessory building’s connection to “The Farm on Pi,” listed at this address in business directories, raises the possibility of a non-residential use that may affect what building code or zoning compliance would require. That remains unconfirmed in the available council materials. The 120-day compliance window, if approved, puts resolution in Q3 2026, with a municipal demolition contract as the fallback—something local contractors may see if the owner cannot satisfy the order.

A building permit application has been submitted for 6 Treasure Trail in Nanaimo, BC. The applicant is an applicant. The matter is scheduled for the May 21, 2026 meeting.
