What is the impact of failing to provide adequate notice to the public of a land use and zoning bylaw?
British Columbia, Canada
The following excerpt is from G.S.R. Capital Group Inc. v The City of White Rock, 2020 BCSC 489 (CanLII):
Notice is particularly important in the context of public hearings and decision-making on land use and zoning bylaws. A failure to comply with the notice requirements in the statute undermines the opportunity for public participation and will generally result in a bylaw being quashed: Pitt Polder Preservation Society v. Pitt Meadows (District), 2000 BCCA 415 at para. 44.
