A group of Parksville property owners who invested in tourism-zoned developments are lobbying for an exemption from new short-term rental laws in B.C.
New rules state that short-term rentals must be in the owner's principal residence and one secondary suite or accessory unit, such as a laneway house.
Judy Thomas, an owner who manages several units in Oceanside Village Resort, stated that the Resort Drive Advocacy Group was meeting with Parksville Mayor Doug O’Brien to discuss the issue.
The group represents some owners of detached homes and units that were built over the past 15 years under municipal tourism zoning.
