Hornby trustees advance development information bylaw

The proposed bylaw would allow information requirements for certain development applications, subject to further approvals.

The Denman Firestarter · Governance · 2026-09-23 · Hornby Island

The Hornby Island Local Trust Committee was asked to notify Trust Council that it intends to forward a Development Approval Information Bylaw for consideration at the regularly scheduled June 2015 Trust Council meeting. [1]

The proposed bylaw would allow the Local Trust Committee to obtain information about the anticipated impacts of development permit, temporary use permit and zoning amendment applications. [1]

Island Planner Rob Milne’s report said the current Official Community Plan does not contain the necessary conditions for using such a bylaw, while proposed Official Community Plan Bylaw No. 149, 2014, which was awaiting ministerial approval, does. [1]

The report said an applicant could be required to provide development approval information at the applicant’s expense for an amendment to a zoning bylaw, a development permit or a temporary use permit. [1]

The report recommended that the committee direct staff to prepare a Request for Decision for submission to the Executive Committee. [1]
