Sicamous Zoning Bylaw 

This project was to rewrite a community’s zoning bylaw from scratch.  Sicamous is a small, recreation-focused community in BC's interior, at the gateway to numerous lakes and mountains. Sicamous embarked on an aggressive growth plan to become a resort destination and needed their Zoning Bylaw completely re-visioned and rewritten. Mark Holland led the project.

Sandstone Master Plan 

Sandstone is a 726-acre master-planned development in Nanaimo, BC. Teunesha Evertse drafted and presented the Official Community Plan Amendment (Sandstone Masterplan 2021) adopted in February of 2022 and is actively working on a Zoning Bylaw Amendment with the City of Nanaimo alongside Keycorp Consulting Ltd. 

This project includes substantial Reconciliation lands and a partnership with Snuneymuxw First Nation, an unprecedented action in today's development industry.

Todsen - Qualicum Beach

This project is a 16-unit rezoning in the community of Qualicum Beach, mid Vancouver Island led by Mark Holland.  While relatively small, it was highly contentious as it was located between a golf course community and a semi-rural estate area and involved changing the OCP, zoning and most importantly, the Urban Containment Boundary.
