6. LOCAL TRUST COMMITTEE PROJECTS 
6.1 Preliminary Facilitated Session regarding the Official Community Plan (OCP) Review 
Project 
Chair Luckham acknowledged and thanked members of the Gabriola Advisory Planning 
Commission (APC) and Gabriola Housing Advisory Planning Commission (HAPC) for their 
attendance. Those unable to attend, or who have further commentary, may email their 
ideas and comments to Planner Chadwick or Regional Planning Manager Jamurat. 
Planner Chadwick introduced the session, provided an overview on her background with 
Islands Trust, and noted the following key points: 
 Trust Policy Statement (TPS) is a trust-wide policy that contains principles that guide 
decisions and land designations; 
 OCP, a legal document, was created to preserve, protect, and manage growth for 
the islands in the 1970’s; 
 OCP is specifically land use; 
 Land Use Bylaws (LUB) implement policies of the OCP with a finer grain of detail 
such as zoning, parking, signs, landscaping, subdivision requirements, siting of 
buildings etc.; 
 Direction needs to be clear in the OCP while not being too prescriptive; 
 Gabriola’s last OCP review was in 2010; 
 Currently in pre-project phase, next phase is project initiation, which focusses the 
discussion on priorities; 
 Suggested the OCP be reviewed first and LUB second; 
 Project timeline 2-4 years; 
 Pre-phase project 2023/20
