With staff working over a weekend to get it on the agenda, the required zoning change bylaw for the Sagebrush golf course’s bed and breakfast cottages was given first and second reading on April 23 by the Thompson-Nicola Regional District (TNRD) board of directors.

TNRD director of development services Regina Sadilkova said the rezoning will now head to a public hearing that is tentatively scheduled for May 14.

She said the property will remain in a residential zone, but has been given a site-specific zoning to accommodate their commercial operation.

Sadilkova said this move is a smart one in case the owners want to revert back to the residential zoning as it would spare another rezoning process to revert back to residential.
