1.2 Background
Incorporated in 1965, the District of 100 Mile House is the service centre of the South Cariboo, a
region which has experienced growth over the past few years. Economic indicators are positive
and property values are increasing. The District’s geographic location and natural setting provide
significant opportunities for continued commercial and recreational development. There is also a
heightened awareness of the importance of the natural environment, and the District continues
to seek to practice sound stewardship over these resources.
1.3 The Official Community Plan
An official community plan (OCP) is a document which, when adopted by Council, provides a set
of objectives and policies to guide the orderly growth and development of the District of 100 Mile
House, particularly around the form and character of future land use. The OCP anticipates
changes in the community and determines how best to manage or influence these changes in the
District of 100 Mile House
Official Community Plan
District of 100 Mile House 3 Bylaw No. 990, 2006
interest of the citizens of 100 Mile House. Through the OCP, community qualities can be
maintained while accommodating growth and the need for appropriate public services and
facilities can be anticipated and provided.
As outlined in Section 877 of the Local Government Act, the plan must include statements and
map designations for the area covered by the plan respecting the following:
the approximate location, amount, type and density of residential development
required to meet anticipated housing needs over a period of at least 5 years;
the approximate location, amount and type of present and proposed commercial,
industrial, institutional, agricultural, recreational and public utility land uses;
the approximate location and area of sand and gravel deposits that are suitable for
future sand and gravel extraction;
restrictions on the use of land that is subject to hazardous conditions or that is
environmentally sensitive to development;
the approximate location and phasing of any major road, sewer and water systems;
the approximate location and type of present and proposed public facilities, including
schools, parks and waste treatment and disposal sites;
housing policies of the District of 100 Mile House respecting affordable housing, rental
housing and special needs housing; and,
other matters that may, in respect of any plan, be required or authorized by the
Minister.
Section 878 of the Local Government Act outlines policy statements which the 100 Mile House
official community plan may also include:
policies of the District relating to social needs, social well-being and social
development;
a regional context statement, consistent with the rest of the community plan as it
relates to regional, social, economic, and environment al objectives;
policies respecting the maintenance and enhancement on farming in an area
designated for agricultural use in the community plan; and
policies relating to the preservation, protection, restoration and enhancement of the
natural environment, its ecosystems and biological diversity.

If the District proposes to include matters in the official community plan which are not within the
jurisdictions of the District, then they may only be stated as broad objectives.
1.4 Methodology
The methodology for the updating of this official community plan is a collaborative process
involving 100 Mile House Council and staff, and local residents and property owners.
Government agencies also played a role in shaping the context of this Plan. For example, the
Agricultural Land Commission has an interest in conserving agricultural land while the Ministry of
Environment has an interest in riparian areas.
Council has sought to provide opportunities for public participation. A public hearing was held
where the public was invited to make representations before final refinements and adoption by
Council.
1.5 Force and Effect
The legal effect of the official community plan is outlined in Part 26 of the Local Government Act
and is adopted by bylaw. The plan comes into effect when the bylaw is enacted in accordance
with the Local Government Act and is given final reading by District Council. The plan’s adoption
does not commit or authorize the District Council to proceed with a project specified in the plan
until normal budgetary procedures have been followed. Such procedures include at least a five
year capital expenditure program. Subsequent bylaws passed by District Council must be
consistent with the plan, or move towards compliance with the plan.
1.6 Regional Context
The official community plan recognizes 100 Mile House as an important service centre, with
corresponding urban and community services. 100 Mile House is also the gateway and hub of
the South Cariboo. Within the regional context this plan suggests that 100 Mile House should
continue to grow and provide a range of housing opportunities sustained by community
infrastructure and services. Figure 1.1 – 100 Mile Service Area Map illustrates 100 Mile House
within the context of the South Cariboo Area. While the District of 100 Mile House is less than
2,000 people, it services a regional population of approximately 16,500.

1.7 Historical Overview
The District of 100 Mile House dates back to the early pioneer days when it was called "Bridge
Creek" (from an aboriginal bridge c. 1827), a rest stop on the fur trade route from Fort Kamloops
north to Fort Alexandria. The name 100 Mile House comes from the gold rush days when a
stagecoach stop was set up to refresh travelers 100 miles from "Mile O" at Lillooet. Although the
original roadhouse is no longer standing, the area remains an important service centre for the
South Cariboo.
As the gold rush subsided, ranchers began to settle the area. In 1912 the Marquis of Exeter, a
British nobleman, purchased the land around 100 Mile House. In 1930, the Marquis’ son, Lord
District of 100 Mile House
Official Community Plan
District of 100 Mile House 6 Bylaw No. 990, 2006
Martin Cecil, became the owner and manager of his father’s holdings. The population of the
settlement was 12 at that time.
In the 1940’s and the 1950’s, an abundance of timber drew dozens of portable sawmills to the
area. 100 Mile House began to grow as a town when sawmill owners (the Jens brothers) entered
into a lease agreement with Lord Cecil to provide housing for newcomers. The lease agreement
turned out to be the first of many from the 6,000 hectare estate, which included all of what is
now the District of 100 Mile House.
1.8 Demographics and Labour Force
Age Distribution
In 100 Mile House, the age distribution for people ages 0 to 24 is consistent with the provincial
average (Table 1.1). For the age class of 25 to 44, the provincial average is higher than that of
100 Mile House. This trend continues for those in the age group 45-64 years. Beyond age 65,
the trend reflects a higher than the provincial average older population.

Population Estimates
The District of 100 Mile House, the hub of the South Cariboo, serves a large area which, for the
purposes of this official community plan, is based on the Local Health Area No. 251 (100 Mile
House) geographic boundaries. The historical growth rate for 100 Mile House over the past
decade has been an average of approximately 0.1% per annum, while the historical growth rate
for Local Health Area No. 25 has been 0.8% per annum. Figure 1.2 indicates the population
change and projection for 100 Mile House and Local Health Area No. 25 (100 Mile House) from
1986 to 2015, based on population estimates provided by BC Stats. It is evident that 100 Mile
1 Local Health Area No. 25 includes the population on Reserve Lands.
District of 100 Mile House
Official Community Plan
District of 100 Mile House 7 Bylaw No. 990, 2006
House has experienced moderate rates of change with the highest rate of growth being
experienced in 1990, 1991 and 1997 and highest rate of decline occurring from 1999 to 2001.
Local Health Area No. 25 rates of growth and decline are generally consistent with that of the
District, with growth being significantly higher from 1990 to 1996 and declining proportionately
lower from 1999 to 2001. It is interesting to note that 100 Mile House and Local Health Area No.
25 have experienced growth levels in 2004 that have not been exceeded since 1996-1997.
The population projections for 100 Mile House and the corresponding Local Health Area No. 25
are based on a conservative estimate of 1% population growth per annum. This is significantly
higher than the District’s historical growth rate and somewhat higher than that of the Local
Health Area No. 25. The population of 100 Mile House and Local Health Area No. 25 are
projected to grow to 2,028 and 16,474 respectively by the year 2015.
The 1994 to 2004 average annual growth rate for 100 Mile House remained steady at 0.1%
which incorporates fluctuations as a result of economic conditions. In 2004 an estimated total of
1,823 people lived in 100 Mile House, while 14,771 people lived in the Local Health Area. The
Local Health Area, on the other hand, grew at a higher rate of 0.8% over the same period. This
reflects higher demand for rural residential development.

1.9 Labour Force
The labour force distribution in the District of 100 Mile House is outlined in Table 1.2. It is interesting
to note that 100 Mile House is often considered a single industry town, being forestry-related industry.
However, according to Stats Canada/BC Stats, four industries employ almost three quarters of the
workforce in the District. Education, health and public administration is the single largest employer in
the District at 23.4% followed by logging and forestry manufacturing at 19.4%. Wholesale and retail
trade is third and employs 15.1% of the labour force with information, entertainment and other
services following closely at 12.6%.

The average income levels have generally been below the provincial average from 1996 to 2001.
In 2001, the average income in 100 Mile House was $35,182 compared to the provincial average
of $42,095. The majority of people in 100 Mile House derive their income from employment
sources (66%) followed by pension income (13%), investment income (6%), self employment
income (5%) and other income (10%).
These labour force statistics indicate that 100 Mile House has a more diversified economy than
what one may imagine in the Central Interior. The proportion of public service, retail trade,
accommodation and food services workers suggest that the District’s labour force is not as
dependent on primary resource industries.

4.0 GROWTH MANAGEMENT
4.1 Preamble
Growth Management is a planning approach which seeks to redistribute growth and development
in ways that minimize negative environmental, social and economic impacts and do not, for the
purposes of this plan, reduce the amount or rate of growth.
The tools used to manage growth are the official community plan, zoning and subdivision
servicing bylaws, municipal budgeting process, environmental protection and future development
policies.
The reasons for managing growth in 100 Mile House include the desire to:
.1 Encourage the efficient and full utilization of community and utility services (e.g. water
and sewer);
.2 Preserve the character and lifestyle while improving the quality of life in 100 Mile
House;
.3 Manage public costs associated with development;
.4 Maintain the health of the environment; and
.5 Reduce the negative impacts of development bordering 100 Mile House.
4.2 Objectives
The District of 100 Mile House’s growth management objectives are to:
.1 Encourage the efficient and logical extensions of utility servicing within the corporate
boundaries of the District;
.2 Encourage the full utilization of community services for local residences;
.3 Encourage development within the municipal boundary;
.4 Establish policies to minimize impacts to environmentally sensitive areas; and
.5 Reduce the cost of new growth and development on the existing community.

whether or not the applications are in the long-term servicing strategy of the District;
.2 Ensure community facilities and services are managed to meet the needs of residents
within its corporate boundaries; and where appropriate, to areas of future expansion;
.3 Encourage the Cariboo Regional District to ensure that the South Cariboo Area Official
Community Plan, and its development regulations are consistent with the objectives
and policies of this plan, and the desire to control the further proliferation of
development in the fringe area bordering the District; and
.4 Implement the natural environment policies in Chapter 11 as a means of managing
growth adjacent to, or within, environmentally sensitive areas.

The residents of the District of 100 Mile House are of mixed ages and at varying points in the
family life cycle. Therefore, a variety of housing types is required. The District of 100 Mile House
is committed to ensure that housing is available to a wide range of socioeconomic groups. The
expansion of the District’s boundaries has resulted in the inclusion of existing rural residential
parcels (e.g. Blackstock) as well as lands which may be suitable for future rural residential use.
Council is willing to consider rural residential development based on specific criteria. As indicated
in Section 14.0, residential buildings are a significant contributor to greenhouse gas emissions in
100 Mile House, mainly due to the need to heat homes. Reducing greenhouse gases from
residential buildings is an important issue to mitigating the impacts of climate change.
According to BC Stats (2001 Census), the average family size in 100 Mile House is approximately
2.8 persons per household. The majority of these families (58%) were both husband and wife
families. Lone parent families comprise approximately 23%, followed by families of common-law
couples at 19%. The majority of households reside in single detached dwellings (48%). Multiple
dwellings such as apartments and townhouses comprise 30% of household dwellings.
5.2 Existing Conditions
The current housing conditions are comprised of a variety and range of housing types. BC STATS
compiled the following statistics regarding the number and type of dwellings within 100 Mile
House in 2001:
Single - detached houses 375
Rowhouse or townhouse 90
Apartment Units, less than five stories 140
Other 175
Total Occupied Private Dwellings 780
In preparation of the official community plan, population projections and household
characteristics were used to determine the projected housing requirements. Utilizing the growth
assumptions made in Section 1.8, it is estimated that 100 Mile House may require 75 additional
housing units by the year 2015. It is also possible that more dwelling units could be constructed
by 2015. If, for example, new product were brought onto the market that were not previously

available, the number of dwelling units constructed could exceed those that would otherwise be
expected from population growth.
The official community plan has identified those areas where future housing types are to be
located to meet the projected needs. The plan generally identifies areas adjacent to the
downtown suitable to accommodate higher densities such as apartment units and townhouses.
Single detached, mobile homes, and semi-detached housing subdivisions are designated as low
density residential, and identified on Schedule B – Land Use Map.
Other housing types such as seniors housing, special needs housing, and affordable housing of
all types, will also be required within the plan’s planning horizon. The housing objectives and
policies address the direction needed to provide future housing to meet the needs of 100 Mile
House.
Residential buildings contribute approximately 3700 tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions per year
according to the BC Ministry of Environment’s 2007 Community Energy and Emissions Inventory
for 100 Mile House.
5.3 Objectives
The District of 100 Mile House’s residential objectives are to:
.1 Encourage a wide range of housing types, and densities in order to accommodate the
full range of socio-economic groups, age groups and lifestyles in 100 Mile House;
.2 Minimize infrastructure costs of new housing development on existing residents;
.3 Enhance the character of residential areas;
.4 Support the availability of rural residential housing as an alternative housing form within the
boundaries of the District;
.5 Manage the need to provide additional housing in a way that protects the existing
quality of life, and minimizes negative impacts on environmentally sensitive areas;
.6 Make efficient use of existing parcels of land and the existing housing stock, thereby
optimizing the benefits that can be derived from existing servicing and infrastructure;
and
.7 Encourage a mix of housing opportunities and densities close to the downtown area.

6.0 COMMERCIAL
6.1 Preamble
The District of 100 Mile House is the trading centre for the South Cariboo Region. The
community goals identify the need to strengthen the downtown area and to promote the further
development of highway, tourist and service commercial uses that are of high visual quality.
Commercial buildings are a significant contributor to greenhouse gas emissions in 100 Mile
House, mainly through building heating.
6.2 Existing Conditions
Commercial development in 100 Mile House is generally categorized into two forms of
development: the original town site or downtown, and vehicle oriented commercial (i.e. highway
commercial, tourist commercial and shopping mall commercial) along Highway 97 and Horse
Lake Road. The form of commercial development downtown is generally characterized by small
parcels with development adjacent to the street, and covering most of the site. Vehicle oriented
commercial sites are generally located on larger parcels, along Highway 97 and arterial roads,
with buildings well set back to provide room for vehicle parking or storage/display of products.
Commercial buildings contribute approximately 6000 tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions per
year according to the BC Ministry of Environment’s 2007 Community Energy and Emissions
Inventory for 100 Mile House.
6.3 Objectives
The District of 100 Mile House’s commercial objectives are to:
.1 Encourage a wide range of commercial uses in order to enhance the District’s position
as a service and tourist centre within the South Cariboo;
.2 Implement development permit guidelines which improve the general form and
appearance of commercial business; and
.3 Continue to maintain the downtown as the centre for commerce, office uses,
government services, and heart of the community.
.4 Reduce greenhouse gas emissions from commercial buildings by 15% below 2007
levels by 2020.

parking areas and a cash-in-lieu system to create a reserve fund to provide these
facilities;
.5 Support the redevelopment of parcels along the east side of Cedar Avenue for
downtown commercial uses such as office and retail uses subject to rezoning approval.
Approval will be evaluated on the basis of the following criteria:
a) the scale and character of new development is compatible with adjoining uses;
and
b) new commercial buildings should be oriented to the street and all off-street
parking and loading areas should be located to the back or side of the parcel;
.6 In recognition of the need and potential demand for a shopping centre in the future,
consider a shopping centre in areas that meet the following locational criteria:
District of 100 Mile House
Official Community Plan
District of 100 Mile House 22 Bylaw No. 990, 2006
a) where the shopping centre will support rather than detract from the commercial
vitality of the downtown;
b) where urban level of services (water, sewer, roads, power) can easily be
provided;
c) near an arterial or collector road with high traffic volumes;
d) in areas with direct and convenient access so as to avoid excessive traffic on
local streets;
e) where the negative impact on adjacent uses will be minimal or can be reduced to
an acceptable level by screening, setbacks or landscaping;
.7 Make provision in the zoning bylaw to provide better definition to commercial areas by
reviewing the commercial zones and the range of commercial uses;
.8 Direct commercial development to those areas identified on Schedule B: Land Use Map
– Main Community;
.9 Encourage commercial development that is oriented to the highway traffic and/or
tourist markets to be located along the Highway 97 corridor. Within the highway
corridor, a range of commercial activities including hotels, motels, restaurants and
service stations will be encouraged to infill existing vacant sites;
.10 Ensure that future commercial development along the Highway 97 and Horse Lake
Road corridors, and downtown, make a positive contribution to these important areas,
by establishing Development Permit Areas. The justification and guidelines of the
Highway 97 and Horse Lake Road Corridor Development Permit Area, and the Central
Business District Development Permit Area, are set out in Section 14.3 and 14.4
respectively of this plan;
.11 Provide, through the District’s zoning bylaw, for the development of the service
commercial uses along the Highway 97 corridor south of Seventh Street. Service
commercial development is generally defined as commercial uses that:
a) are oriented to highway traffic;
b) cater to the regional customer market; or
c) may be unsuited to locate downtown due to site area or parking requirements or
involve extensive outdoor storage;
.12 Council will consider vehicle-oriented commercial development applications on lands
not designated commercial based on the following criteria:
a) the proposed development cannot be accommodated in the downtown area;

9.0 PARKS, RECREATION AND OPEN SPACES
9.1 Preamble
The District of 100 Mile House has grown and prospered in part by enhancing and maintaining
the natural recreation areas located within the District. It is fortunate that the District has a
number of parks and other open spaces within its boundaries. The citizens of 100 Mile House
and surrounding area are active and enjoy outdoor spaces and organized sports. Tourists are
coming to the area in search of more recreational opportunities. These recreational needs are
broad and vary from bird watching to cross country skiing to mountain biking, and everything in
between. The objectives and policies of this section are consistent with the District’s parks and
recreation master plan. It is also important to note that trails, sidewalks, and parks offer
opportunities for active transportation, which not only support healthy and active living in the
community, but also offer an alternative means of traveling around 100 Mile House which results
in fewer greenhouse gas emissions.
9.2 Existing Conditions
The District has developed an excellent park and recreation system and has the opportunity to
expand its facilities to meet the recreation needs of its residents. The Recreation Reserve
provides opportunities for increased development of cross-country skiing, snowmobiling, and
mountain bike trails to meet the growing needs for these sports. The use of the District’s parks
for tourism purposes has also been proposed.
Recreation facilities such as playgrounds, ice arena, curling rink, tennis courts, ball diamonds,
trails and sports fields are presently provided by the District, the Cariboo Regional District,
provincial and private organizations, and School District No. 27. This plan continues to support
the principle that recreation facilities be developed in 100 Mile House as identified in the capital
improvements budgets of the District, and through partnerships with the Cariboo Regional
District, community organizations and companies.
Open space areas are generally those natural areas owned by the District or Province which are
utilized as passive recreation areas. The District has begun to implement its Trails Linkage Plan.

10.0 AGRICULTURE
10.1 Preamble
Since the conclusion of the Gold Rush, agriculture has been an important sector of the economy
of 100 Mile House. Livestock, hay, vegetables and other field crops are grown in the area. The
citizens of the District continue to enjoy products which are grown and produced locally through
their support of the South Cariboo Farmer’s Market.
Producing and consuming locally grown food also reduces greenhouse gas emissions, principally
by reducing the need to transport food over long distances. This helps support the District’s
efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, as outlined in Section 14.0.
10.2 Existing Conditions
There are significant tracts of agricultural land reserve (ALR) land within the district boundary.
The agriculture objectives and policies contained in this section encourage retaining the ALR, and
suggest actions to promote the rural economy. It should be noted that privately owned parcels
in the ALR are designated as Agriculture on Schedule B: Land Use Map – Main Community.
Crown lands are designated as Resource Areas.
10.3 Objectives
The District of 100 Mile House’s agriculture objective is to:
.1 Protect and maintain the economic viability of the agricultural sector of the community
and encourage its improvement and expansion.
10.4 Land Use Map Designations

11.0 NATURAL ENVIRONMENT
11.1 Preamble
Council recognizes the importance of the natural environment, and the recreation and tourism
benefits that it provides. Quality of life is enhanced through sound stewardship of the natural
environment for aesthetics, recreation, agriculture and tourism. In addition, it is necessary to
identify those lands which may prove hazardous for development in terms of steep slopes,
unstable soils and wildfire.
Natural areas are also important to the community due to their ability to act as sinks for
greenhouse gas emissions.
11.2 Existing Conditions
For the purposes of this official community plan the following areas have been identified by the
District as Environmentally Sensitive Areas (ESA’s):
.1 Exeter Lake;
.2 Bridge Creek, and its tributaries;
.3 Little Bridge Creek, and its tributaries;
.4 101 Mile Lake;
.5 Mud Lake; and
.6 100 Mile House Bird Sanctuary.
These areas may also pose flood hazards under certain circumstances. In other areas, hazardous
conditions may exist due to steep slopes and soil instability.
11.3 Objectives
The District of 100 Mile House’s Natural Environment objectives are to:
.1 Continue to strive to enhance Environmentally Sensitive Areas (ESA’s) within the
District boundaries;
.2 Exercise good stewardship of the Bridge Creek watershed;
.3 Provide a level of protection for both people and property from identifiable natural
hazards in the District; and

.4 Maintain high water quality in surface water, ground water and aquifers.
11.4 Land Use Map Designation
Areas defined as environmentally sensitive areas are outlined on Schedule G – Development
Permit Area Map.
11.5 Policies
The District will:
.1 Provide an appropriate level of protection for those Environmentally Sensitive Areas
(ESA’s) identified in the official community plan through the use of development
permits;
.2 Require that development proposed in ESA’s be planned and designed according to
current best management practices. The District may also require an assessment
report prepared by an appropriately qualified professional to be submitted to the
District. The assessment report will be conducted if development is proposed within 30
metres of a stream or the top of a ravine bank of a stream. These assessment reports
may be initiated by a rezoning, subdivision or building permit application;
.3 Ensure all new development and infrastructure occurs with minimal impact or
disturbance to ESA’s, and that any impacted areas are rehabilitated using indigenous
plants and trees;
.4 Encourage the protection of ESA’s by dedication or registration of a conservation
restrictive covenant in the name of the District of 100 Mile House to ensure non-
disturbance or no-building in the ESA area;
.5 Support density averaging, or bonusing, as a method of directing development away
from ESA areas;
.6 Discourage development in areas with steep slopes with grades in excess of 30% and
areas subject to hazards including soil subsidence, flooding, mud flows, torrents of
debris, erosion, landslip, rock falls, or avalanches which are known or suspected.
Council will, however, consider permitting development on steep slopes or hazard areas
if the developer provides a report from an engineer experienced and qualified in
geotechnical engineering setting out how the area can be developed safely;
.7 Where a property contains forested land or borders forest land, the developer will be
required to undertake a fire hazard risk assessment at the time of submitting a
District of 100 Mile House
Official Community Plan
District of 100 Mile House 36 Bylaw No. 990, 2006
rezoning, building or subdivision application. The assessment will provide a
recommended mitigation strategy which will be submitted to both the District and the
Ministry of Forests. Recommended mitigation strategies could include, but are not
limited to, the following:
a) Incorporating fuel breaks adjacent to or on the residential subdivisions;
b) Establishing zones around potential structures and homes which are clear of
debris, highly combustible material or trees;
c) Utilizing fireproofing techniques and fireproof materials in building design;
d) Designing roads that provide evacuation routes and facilitate movement of
fire fighting equipment;
e) Ensuring all roads are named and signed;
f) Ensuring availability of water supply facilities adequate for fire suppression;
g) Ensuring the provision of access to local water sources, lakes and streams as
part of access requirements; and
h) Implementing setbacks, interfacing fire protection standards, and building
material standards pursuant to the Ministry of Forests;
.8 Require all new habitable development on existing parcels which are prone to flooding
to be sited and constructed to the standards specified by the District, at an elevation
above the flood plain level, or high water mark.
.9 Protect and enhance environmentally sensitive areas (i.e. grasslands, forests,
watersheds, etc.) to serve as natural sinks for greenhouse gas emissions. This helps
support the District’s efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, as outlined in Section
14.0.

12.0 RESOURCE AREAS
12.1 Preamble
The natural landscape forms a significant backdrop to the character of the plan area. Resource
areas reinforce the rural character of the District. Resource areas may be described as large,
usually Crown parcels of land. Typical uses of these lands include Provincial Forest lands, wildlife
habitat areas, open land areas, recreation areas, watersheds, and resource extraction areas.
12.2 Existing Conditions
A number of larger Crown Land areas are within the ALR. Despite their Resource Area
designation, the Agricultural Land Commission has indicated that such areas have the potential to
be used for agricultural purposes should the area be deforested and improved for that use.
The inclusion of resource area lands within the District which are subject to superseding
provincial legislation will require Council to enact policies to ensure that the use and development
of these lands are consistent with the provisions of such legislation. The further development of
the Recreation Reserve, including the District’s Demonstration Forest, will also require policy
guidance in order to achieve Council’s objective of developing this area as a tourism and
recreation focal point in the community.
12.3 Objectives
The District of 100 Mile House’s resource area objectives are to:
.1 Minimize conflicts between land use on land designated Resource Area and adjacent
land uses; and
.2 Continue to maintain a Community Demonstration Forest.
.3 Begin operation of the community forest.
12.4 Land Use Map Designations
Resource areas and sand and gravel deposits are indicated on Schedule C: Land Use Map -
District Wide.

12.5 Policies
The District will:
.1 Provide for the further development of the Recreation Reserve including its
Demonstration Forest which forms part of the Reserve as a tourism and recreation
focal point in the community. Specific development initiatives proposed by Council for
the Demonstration Forest include the development of an outdoor logging museum as
well as the development of walking trails and interpretive signage. Initiatives proposed
by Council for the remainder of the Recreation Reserve include further development of
cross-country ski trails, snow mobile trails and mountain biking trails;
.2 Recognize that in designating lands within the Provincial Forest as Resource Area,
limitations are placed on this OCP and zoning bylaws as they apply to Crown lands.
The designation of provincial forest lands as Resource Area reflects Council’s policy to
reinforce the use of such lands for silviculture and forest-related uses, and ensure that
a rural resource use is maintained on the land in the event that the land is removed
from the provincial forest;
.3 Encourage the Ministry of Energy, Mines and Petroleum Resources to continue referrals
of mineral exploration proposals to the District for comments. District Lot 2149
contains known mineral or aggregate resources as depicted on Schedule C – District
Wide Land Use Map. The Ministry is encouraged to give due consideration for the
impact of resource extraction activities on existing residential developments,
particularly:
noise;
dust;
traffic; and
groundwater resources;
.4 Generally discourage the subdivision of parcels designated Resource Area that would
result in lots less than 65 hectares.

13.0 INFRASTRUCTURE
13.1 Preamble
Transportation
The District of 100 Mile House and the Ministry of Transportation have had ongoing discussion to
prepare a major road network plan. The location of the roads shown on Schedule E – the
Transportation Network Map that are within the Agricultural Land Reserve are not to be
construed as having the endorsement of the Agricultural Land Commission. The construction,
upgrading or dedication of these routes may not proceed without the approval of the
Commission. It is not intended that any particular lands are to be reserved for road purposes.
Utility Services
Upgrading of the sanitary sewer collection system in general is required to ensure sufficient
capacity in the system to connect new areas. The District will need to develop a potable water
Zone 3 pressure zone to service the existing and future Exeter Road industrial and residential
development, and provide fire protection to these areas. This will include extending the existing
distribution main along Exeter Road, the addition of a new reservoir, and the addition of fire
hydrants. The Exeter Road area will also require an extension to the sanitary sewer collection
system. There is the identified need for an additional water storage reservoir for the high
pressure zone (Zone 2) to meet anticipated future demand and provide additional interface fire
protection. Highway 97 and Little Bridge Creek stormwater outfalls will be diverted to a new
stormwater treatment facility which will be constructed at the site of the old sewage treatment
lagoons.
Solid Waste Management
The Cariboo Regional District has established a solid waste management plan, of which 100 Mile House
is a participant.
Utility Corridors
Since 1957, Duke Energy, formerly Westcoast Energy Inc. has operated natural gas processing plants
and a major transmission pipeline system in BC. The transmission system consists of a 760 mm and
900 mm (30 and 36 inch) diameter high pressure pipeline located within a statutory right-of-way that
crosses the District of 100 Mile House. The right-of-way is approximately 4 km in length and is
typically 30 m wide. Located in this corridor, in a separate right-of-way, is a 300 mm (12 inch) oil
pipeline owned by Pembina Pipeline Corporation.

development permit defines the requirements necessary to address the objectives
outlined for the particular development permit area. Development permits are required
prior to obtaining a building permit or prior to final approval for a subdivision.
The development permit area guidelines as part of this official community plan are
designed to be both clear and flexible. First, they are designed to give sufficient
direction for Council to make decisions. An attempt was made to make the guidelines
lucid and straightforward so that they can not be misinterpreted. Second, they are
designed to be somewhat flexible. Guidelines are not codified regulations like zoning
that must be followed to the letter. They are designed to give Council discretion in
making decisions as well as allowing the property owner some room for creativity and
innovation.
The 100 Mile House official community plan designates development permit areas for
the:
a) Protection of Environmentally Sensitive Areas (including hazard areas), their
ecosystems and biological diversity by regulating habitat areas and designated
watercourses;
b) Establishment of guidelines to regulate the siting, form, character and landscaping
of commercial uses in the Highway 97 and Horse Lake Road corridor;
c) Establishment of guidelines to regulate the siting, form, character and landscaping
of commercial uses in the central business district;
d) Establishment of guidelines to regulate the siting, form, character and landscaping
of commercial-residential transition area part of Cedar Avenue;
e) Establishment of guidelines to regulate the siting, form, character and landscaping
of medium and high density residential development.
A development permit must be approved and issued by resolution of the Council prior to
any construction or alteration taking place on property situated within a designated
development permit area. All designated development permit areas are outlined in this
section and on Schedule G - Development Permit Areas.

and out of the District. Council has expressed a desire to control the form and
character of commercial development along Highway 97 and Horse Lake Road.
.4 Guidelines
Development permits issued for this area will be in accordance with the following
guidelines:
a) Buildings and structures
Buildings are encouraged to incorporate material and architectural
features of the Cariboo: these include the use of wood, logs, rails, posts,
beams, rock and stone. Architecture should not simply replicate building
designs that could be found anywhere in North America;
Any wall of an end building which is visible from the highway should be
finished to the same standard as the front of the building to provide an
attractive appearance;
The use of exposed concrete blocks visible from public roads is
discouraged;
Large areas of building walls shall be articulated by a combination of
windows, entry features, building materials, textures, architectural
features and landscaping
Varied rooflines are encouraged to avoid the appearance of long, flat
rooflines
Landscaping, awnings, lighting fixtures, and other structures should be
architecturally integrated with the design of the buildings;
District of 100 Mile House
Official Community Plan
District of 100 Mile House 50 Bylaw No. 990, 2006
Mechanical equipment must be hidden from view, i.e. placed in an attic
space or behind fascia or parapet walls. Electrical transformers must be
screened from view with trees or shrubs, subject to utility company
approvals; and
New smaller buildings should be sited closer to the highway to help
reduce the vast open parking lot impacts of shopping malls and similar
commercial developments.
Additions to buildings should appear seamless as part of the existing
building.
b) Screening and landscaping
Blank walls (surfaces over 40 m2 lacking an architectural feature) should
be screened with landscaping. Landscaping should include trees and/or
other plant material that cover 50 % of the blank wall within five years
of planting.
All waste disposal bins should be completely screened within an
enclosure;
Outdoor display areas should be upgraded and enhanced with
landscaping;
The perimeter 3 metres of all front yard setbacks should be landscaped,
including trees, shrubs, grass and similar elements, which in the case of
corner sites would include the setbacks toward the highway and also the
setback areas oriented toward the side street. Landscaping materials
must be hardy and adopted to Cariboo climatic conditions. All
landscaped areas should include irrigation. Landscape materials should
require low maintenance. The use of xeriscape (drought tolerant, low
water requirement) landscaping and other water conservation practices
is encouraged to minimize water consumption; and
All fencing and screening should be designed and constructed with
durable materials and integrated with the design and materials of the
building. All screening should be of sufficient height to adequately
screen parking, loading, garbage receptacles and storage from adjacent
public streets and residential areas.
c) Parking and access
Commercial development will take into consideration the visual impact of
surface parking and loading areas on adjacent properties. Vehicle access
to parking and loading areas, and circulation on site should minimize
interference with pedestrian movement;
District of 100 Mile House
Official Community Plan
District of 100 Mile House 51 Bylaw No. 990, 2006
No loading space should be permitted within the front yard or sideyard
of a development where it is visible from the highway;
Co-ordination and connection of parking lots through mutual access
agreements with adjacent properties is encouraged to ensure street
efficiency;
Parking areas should clearly identify pedestrian circulation areas,
preferably with different paving and landscaping treatment; and
Surface parking areas should be constructed in small increments, or
large lots should be divided into small areas through the use of shade
trees and shrubs, so that asphalt does not dominate.

The designated areas are identified on Schedule G - Development Permit Areas.
.3 Justification
The central business district is the commercial centre of the Cariboo and the heart
of the community. Development which is of a high standard and is representative
of the Cariboo and its history will reflect well on the entire community and be a
source of civic pride. The design guidelines contained in this section help to
establish consistent character, siting, and layout of development in this important
business district of 100 Mile House.
.4 Guidelines
Development permits issued in this section will be in accordance with the following
guidelines:
a) Building and structures
Buildings are encouraged to incorporate material and architectural
features of the Cariboo; these include the use of wood, logs, rails, posts,
beams, rock and stone;
District of 100 Mile House
Official Community Plan
District of 100 Mile House 52 Bylaw No. 990, 2006
Buildings should incorporate architectural features which respect the
heritage of the Cariboo;
Any wall of an end building which is visible from the street should be
finished to the same standard as the front of the building to provide an
attractive appearance;
The use of exposed concrete blocks visible from public roads is
discouraged;
The front yard setback should be between 0 and 3 metres from the
property line to encourage street orientation;
Buildings should be of a size and scale similar to adjacent buildings;
Façade design should contribute to a lively pedestrian scale;
Indirect lighting of signs is encouraged rather than back-lit plastic signs;
Landscaping, awnings, lighting fixtures, and other structures should be

convenient pedestrian access to the development, and by giving
consideration to the design of side and rear facades;
Encourage mixed use developments where residential units are located
above commercial developments;
Encourage mixed residential over commercial buildings with parking at
the rear, beside, or beneath the development;
Encourage commercial and residential developments to incorporate safer
public spaces which are less prone to crime, by incorporating
environmental design standards to:
- improve accessibility to all members of the public; and
- remove barriers which block visibility;
Focus people-oriented activities (window shopping, store entrances,
cafes, displays, signage) along the streets and in front of buildings.
Locate parking, loading, garbage and other ancillary services at the rear
or side of buildings;
District of 100 Mile House
Official Community Plan
District of 100 Mile House 53 Bylaw No. 990, 2006
The electrical service provisions of buildings should be screened from
view or be located so as to minimize their visual appearance;
Buildings at key intersections should be designed to mark the corner.
Various design devices include setbacks at the corner, accentuated
entrances and additional height using, for instance, clock towers;

enclosure. The planting of street trees is encouraged where they do not
already exist;
The use of xeri-scape (drought tolerant, low-water requirement)
landscaping and other water conservation practices is encouraged to
minimize water consumption; and
Loading areas visible from streets and from residential properties must
be screened with fencing and/or sufficient landscaping which is mature
and of a quality acceptable to the District. The integration of existing
mature trees and other vegetation into the overall landscape design is
encouraged.
c) Parking and access
Parking areas should be adequately screened and landscaped and
located at the rear, side, or beneath of the development;
A majority of off-street parking should be located to the rear or side of
the buildings. Access to stores and to the street should be easily visible
from all areas of the parking lots; and
Surface parking areas should be constructed in small increments, or

15.5 Residential – Commercial Transition Development Permit Area
.1 Category
The Residential – Commercial Transition Development Permit Area is designated
under Section 919.1 (f) of the Local Government Act.
.2 Area
The designated areas are identified on Schedule G – Development Permit Areas
.3 Justification
The Residential – Commercial Transition Development Permit Area seeks to
achieve a high standard of quality and land use compatibility for commercial
development in a transitional neighbourhood on the edge of the Commercial
Centre. Land uses in this area are changing and any new commercial development
or residential conversion to commercial use that takes place should be sensitive to
the existing form and character of the single family residential units. The
Development Permit Area seeks to allow commercial development that reflects the
form and character of the existing area.
.5 Guidelines
Development permits issued for this area will be in accordance with the following
guidelines:
a) Buildings and Structures
Buildings should maintain a residential character;
Buildings and structures are encouraged to incorporate material and
architectural features of the Cariboo; these include the use of wood,
logs, rails, posts, beams, rock and stone;
Buildings should incorporate architectural features which respect the
heritage of the Cariboo, including the use of pitched roofs, bay
windows, and sub-roofs;
District of 100 Mile House
Official Community Plan
District of 100 Mile House 55 Bylaw No. 990, 2006
The form and character of the former/existing residential uses shall be
maintained;
Buildings should not exceed a height of two stories;
The use of exposed concrete blocks visible from public roads is
discouraged;
Additions to the buildings should appear as part of the existing
building;
Façade designs should contribute to a lively pedestrian scale. This can
include incorporating awnings and canopies complementary to the
design, materials and color of the buildings;
Focus people oriented activities (window shopping, store entrances,
displays, signage) along the streets and in front of buildings. Locate
parking, loading, garbage and other ancillary services at the rear or
side of buildings.
b) Screening and Landscaping
Exterior finishing materials and front yard landscaping should reflect
the existing landscaping of the area. The planting and maintaining of
grass, hedges and trees, consistent with the existing is encouraged;
Loading areas visible from streets and from residential properties must
be screened with fencing and/or sufficient, mature landscaping;
All waste disposal bins should be screened within an enclosure;
The design of frontage business signs should be integrated with the
design of the building. No billboards, illuminated or roof signs will be
permitted. Signs shall not exceed a maximum total area of 2.4 sq m
(26 sq ft).
c) Parking and Access

Official Community Plan
District of 100 Mile House 56 Bylaw No. 990, 2006
Vehicle access to parking and loading areas and circulation on site
should minimize interference with pedestrian movement;
Surface parking should be constructed in small increments with the
use of shade trees and shrubs, so asphalt does not dominate;
Universal access design principles shall be incorporated to
accommodate people of any ability.
15.6 Medium and High Density Residential Development Permit Area
.1 Category
The Medium and High Density Residential Development Permit Area is designated
under Section 919.1(f) (form and character of multi-family residential
development) of the Local Government Act.
.2 Area
The designated area is identified on Schedule G - Development Permit Areas Map.
.3 Justification
The appearance, form and siting of medium and high density residential can have
an impact on adjacent lower density residential and commercial properties. During
the planning process Council expressed a desire to have greater control as to the
siting, form and character of apartment and townhouse developments in 100 Mile
House.
The design guidelines contained in this section help to enhance screening, and
landscape, and minimize the negative aspects of higher density residential
development on adjacent land uses.
.4 Guidelines
Development permits issued in this section will be in accordance with the following
guidelines:
a) Building and structures
District of 100 Mile House
Official Community Plan
District of 100 Mile House 57 Bylaw No. 990, 2006
Medium and high density residential development is encouraged to be
sensitive to and compatible with the massing and rhythm of the
established streetscape;
The use of sub-roofs, dormers, balconies, bay windows and shadowing
to break up the massiveness of the structure is encouraged;
Encourage developments to break up the massiveness of the structure;
First storey units are encouraged to have ground access and outdoor
amenity space for family use;
Medium and high density residential development adjacent to single
detached dwellings should be stepped back in order to reduce the direct
impact. New developments should be no greater than one storey higher
than the adjacent development;
Where a site is to contain several buildings, careful attention should be
given to the provision of usable private open space, trail linkages
between buildings, and other potential development enclaves. All
walkways and trails should be indicated on the site plan;
Medium and high density residential developments should front or
appear to front onto adjacent roadways. This may be achieved through
appropriate treatment of the buildings exteriors and through the
provision of pedestrian entranceways and walkways to the street;
Recreation or play areas should be provided within each project and
should be sensitive to the needs of all ages groups likely to reside within
the development; and
All signs should be architecturally compatible with the overall design of
the buildings.
b) Screening and landscaping
Substantial landscaping should be provided and maintained to screen
parking lots. Retention of mature trees within the overall landscape
treatment is encouraged;
Where a medium or high density residential development is to be
constructed adjacent to a property with a non residential or lower
density residential use, the new residential design should provide
sufficient buffering in terms of screening, fencing, berming and
landscaping to reduce potential land use conflicts; and
District of 100 Mile House
Official Community Plan
District of 100 Mile House 58 Bylaw No. 990, 2006
All waste disposal bins should be completely screened within an
enclosure.
c) Parking and access
Vehicle access to parking areas and circulation on-site should minimize
interference with pedestrian movement; and
Large surface parking areas should be broken down into smaller parking
lots even dispersed throughout the development and integrated with
planted landscaped areas.

Official Community Plan
District of 100 Mile House 59 Bylaw No. 990, 2006
16.0 IMPLEMENTATION
16.1 Implementing the Plan
The official community plan is a future land use planning document consisting of principles,
objectives and policies. As such, it generally does not provide for all the tools to see it
implemented. There are a number of implementation steps that the District can take toward
seeing the objectives of this Plan realized. This section outlines those steps that the District will
undertake in implementing the Plan.
16.2 Zoning Bylaw
The zoning bylaw logically follows the official community plan, as it is the chief land use
regulatory bylaw that puts the plan into effect. While the official community plan is all about the
future, the zoning bylaw is about the present, setting out regulations such as land use, density
and siting. It is typically more detailed than the OCP and more legalistic in its writing.
16.3 Subdivision and Development Servicing Bylaw
The subdivision and development servicing bylaw sets out the planning and engineering
standards to be followed in conjunction with new subdivision and development. Road
construction, sidewalks, lighting, utilities and hydro are some of the elements that this bylaw
addresses. Two areas that should be considered as part of the new bylaw include a rural
development standard for Council to consider as part of future applications and the
implementation of policies from the Stormwater Management Plan.
16.4 South Cariboo Economic Development Strategy
The South Cariboo Economic Development Strategy is a local response to address economic
impacts associated with the mountain pine beetle epidemic. Once the infected timber is
harvested, there will be a marked decline in the annual allowable cut in the 100 Mile House
Forest District and throughout the Cariboo. In recognition of the serious economic implications of
the reduction in timber allotment, the Cariboo-Chilcotin Pine Beetle Action Coalition has made
representations to senior government about the mitigation of impacts and sustaining and
developing new economic activity. While born out of a difficult situation, the development of a
new South Cariboo strategy is a great opportunity to sustain and develop local industry.

16.5 Neighbourhood Development Plan
The District owns property on a slope overlooking the Bridge Creek Valley beyond the Blackstock
subdivision above Horse Lake Road. As discussed in this official community plan, this property
would be well suited for residential development. It affords good views, has a moderate slope,
has good sun exposure and is in relatively close proximity to District utilities. A neighbourhood
development plan would identify a subdivision layout, road network, utility services, stormwater
management and densities. A consideration of market demand and town planning principles
would also inform the preparation of the plan. Given the setting and surrounding uses, a rural
pattern of larger lots may be appropriate than smaller urban lots closer to the centre of the
community.
16.6 Sustainable Community Servicing Plan
The Sustainable Community Servicing Plan will provide the District with a long term plan for
capital investment that considers both growth related investment and the renewal/rehabilitation
of existing infrastructure. The plan will ensure that the level of service goals for the community
are financially and environmentally sustainable. The plan will consider all municipal infrastructure
systems (roads, water, wastewater, and drainage) and will integrate planning, engineering,
environmental and financial considerations. The Federation of Canadian Municipalities has
accepted an application for funding under the Green Municipal Enabling Fund.
16.7 Master Drainage Plan
One of the recommendations of the Integrated Stormwater Management Plan that has recently
been completed is to prepare a Master Drainage Plan. The Master Drainage Plan will address
current and future drainage needs to ensure that storm water is adequately drained from urban
areas in an efficient, cost effective and environmentally responsible manner. The Master
Drainage Plan will be completed in the context of the Bridge Creek Watershed as well as being
detailed enough to address site specific problems where localized pooling or flooding may occur.
The Master Drainage Plan will identify what works should be undertaken, how much these works
should cost, when they should be undertaken and whether the costs would be the responsibility
of the municipality or new development.

16.8 Community Enhancement Program
A community enhancement plan identifies initiatives to improve the visual quality of what visitors
and residents experience on a daily basis. Signage, landscaping, lighting and public art are some
components of community enhancement. The downtown revitalization that occurred over 10
years ago is an example of significant community enhancement effort. The District will consider
developing a Community Enhancement Program, building on past efforts, to ensure that 100 Mile
House presents the kind of image that reflects well on the entire community.
16.9 Development Checklist
A development checklist will provide guidance to new developers as well as people undertaking
retrofits to improve construction. The development checklist will include guidance on how new
and existing residential and commercial development can incorporate energy efficiency, active
transportation, greenhouse gas emissions reductions, water conservation, and accessibility.
Developers would be required to fill out the checklist prior to development approval but
complying with any of the recommendations of the checklist would be voluntary. The checklist
will help the District develop a more accessible community as well as reducing future greenhouse
gas emissions, as outlined in Section 14.0
