Update to Snug Cove Design Guidelines
SEEKING PUBLIC INPUT
DETAILS:
We are conducting an update to the Snug Cove Design Guidelines.
The current Design Guidelines for Snug Cove were prepared by the Bowen Island Advisory Design Panel and were released as Schedule “E” of Bowen Island Land Use Bylaw No. 57, 2002. These guidelines, like the update, focus on the theme of Arts & Crafts Design and Architecture.
WHAT DO THE SNUG COVE DESIGN GUIDELINES DO?
These guidelines will guide development in the Snug Cove area (see map), particularly in regards to its character and public function.
WHO DOES THIS IMPACT?
The Snug Cove Design Guidelines document applies to the Development Permit Areas shown in pink in the map below. Any new development within these areas will need to demonstrate compliance with the proposed Guidelines and obtain a development permit.
WHAT WILL BE IN THE GUIDELINES?
The updated Snug Cove Design Guidelines intend to affirm the Arts & Crafts style and approach to development while also encouraging creative design, complementary aesthetics, and retention of the distinct Bowen character. The Arts & Crafts design movement values simplicity, utility and beauty, achieved through the integration of craftsmanship and materiality that is inspired by nature and characterized by informal site planning, integration of the landscape and the building, and a connection to outdoor spaces.
