RECOMMENDATIONS
1.  That the North Pender Island Local Trust Committee directs staff to prepare a draft bylaw for rezoning 
application PL-RZ-2024-0110 (Bigham).
REPORT SUMMARY
The purpose of this staff report is to provide an update on rezoning application PL-RZ-2024-0110 (Bigham)
including the submission of professional reports from the applicant, and to seek direction from the North Pender 
Island Local Trust Committee (LTC) to prepare a draft bylaw.
The above recommendation is supported as:
· Professional reports demonstrate adequate proof of water and conclude that there would be minimal 
further environmental impacts from future proposed uses over the existing conditions;
· The area proposed for rezoning is designated as Industrial and the proposed use is consistent with the 
Industrial land use policies of the North Pender Island Official Community Plan No. 171 (OCP); and,
· Having a draft bylaw will facilitate First Nations and agency referrals and enable further public input.
