It is intended to provide trustees, planning staff, and community groups with structured resources for implementation of housing-related projects, both those undertaken by LTCs and those that come before LTCs as development applications. While addressing housing shortages involves many agencies and types of initiatives, this toolkit is focused on projects directly related to local trust committees ability to regulate land use under Sections 29 and 31 of the Islands Trust Act. This toolkit is meant to be brief, technical and practical, consolidating a variety of documents applicable to any housing project. If staff and trustees use this toolkit as a reference during the design and implementation of housing projects, their projects should advance rapidly and along a predictable trajectory. As with any project within a Local Trust Area, housing projects should be undertaken with a clear view to any other land use planning work underway, to maximize efficiency and consistency. This toolkit is focused on LTC-initiated projects to amend bylaws, and includes three types of tools: Process tools; Template tools; and Background tools. The toolkit is not a finished product, but rather a living document to which new resources can be added as gaps are identified and solutions developed. Toolkit Background To prepare this toolkit staff reviewed three decades of housing repo
