A development proposal in Seymour Bay will need to go through an OCP Amendment Process, council determined this week. A Committee of the Whole (COW) meeting was held Monday to determine next steps for Bowen Island Properties’ (BIP) proposal for increased housing development in the south Bowen neighbourhood. Their plan calls for an increase in the maximum number of residential units allowed in the Cowan Point Comprehensive Development Area (CDA) - which encompasses Seymour Bay - from the current 161 to 312. The additional 151 homes would be made up of townhomes and multiplexes, and be located generally north of the Golf Course on either side of Seymour Bay Drive, according to the plan.
