Policy & Positions
Tuesday, 13 April 2010 14:11
The Parksville & District Chamber of Commerce Policy Committee met to discuss your request for input on the proposed Business Regulations Pertaining to Noise and/or Odour.
We are familiar with the proposed regulation through attendance at Council Meetings where the proposal was presented and reviewing the Report from G.A Jackson, Director of Community Planning.
- Is there a sufficient complaint history to justify the action? - We have no way of knowing the complaint history and did not further discuss that question.
- Is the proposed regulation quantifiable in measuring noise and/or odour? - Noise is measurable and we note there is an existing bylaw to deal with excessive noise (By-Law 1492)
