Referrals
When land outside of the City of Fernie boundary is proposed to be rezoned for development, the Regional District of East Kootenay (RDEK) works with the City of Fernie Planning Department to ensure any concerns are brought forward considered by the RDEK Board of Directors as part of their decision-making process.
The RDEK communicates with the Planning Department through a Referral Process, giving the City of Fernie opportunity to comment on any proposed RDEK zoning bylaw amendments.
Referral responses provided to the RDEK concerning zoning amendment bylaws are available to view online, here.
