RECOMMENDATION 
1. That the South Pender Island Local Trust Committee request staff to prepare a draft bylaw for the 
Minor Land Use Bylaw Amendments Project in accordance with the staff report dated January 17, 
2025. 
REPORT SUMMARY 
This report is intended to provide the South Pender Island Local Trust Committee (LTC) with referral comments 
from the South Pender Advisory Planning Commission (APC), to request direction from the LTC on how to 
proceed with the major topics outlined below, and to request direction to proceed with the preparation of a 
draft bylaw. 
BACKGROUND 
The Minor Land Use Bylaw (LUB) Project was initiated in November 2023 with the endorsement of the Project 
Charter. The focus of this project is to review amendments made to the LUB by Bylaw No. 122 and to review 
other minor and technical LUB amendments. The South Pender LTC phased the early engagement process – the 
first phase started with trustee-led workshops, and the second phase involved two Community Information 
Meetings (CIMs) in April 2024. The third action in this phase was to send a referral to the South Pender APC for 
comments on specific aspects of this project.  
The South Pender LTC identified the following major topics during phase one and two requiring further 
deliberation by the South Pender APC: 
• setback from the natural boundary (NB) of the sea  
• interior side lot line setbacks for rural residential zoned dwellings and cottages 
• total floor area and maximum floor area for dwellings  
The South Pender APC met over the past four months (five meetings in total) and have provided their 
recommendations via resolutions in the APC minutes. The APC minutes can be found under ‘Folder 7 - Advisory 
Planning Commission’ on the Project’s webpage and attached to the September 13, 2024 and December 6, 2024 
LTC agendas. The webpage also includes the APC Chair’s summary of the APC recommendations (also attached 
to the staff report) and two letters from an APC member.
