Official Community Plan Bylaw No. 434 – Volume 1 (Consolidated) 
 
PART B - LAND USE OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES 
 
B.1 GENERAL LAND USE OBJECTIVES 
 
A primary purpose of this Part of the Plan is to illustrate the locations of present land uses and show suitable 
sites for future land uses.   Proposed locations for future land uses are shown in  a general  way by  the Land 
Use  Designations shown  on  Map  1.    These  Land  Use  Designations  largely  reflect  present  land  use  on  the 
island.  Some existing land uses, such as community and infrastructure uses are illustrated on Maps 2, 3, 6 
and 7.  Policies for each Land Use Designation are contained in this part of the Plan.  They indicate the types 
of land uses that could be allowed to take place in each designation by zoning bylaws.  They also show the 
maximum density of development that could be allowed.  The following general objectives have been followed 
in establishing the locations and policies for the Land Use Designations.  They should also be considered in 
making  amendments  to  local  land  use  bylaws.    The  relationship  between  the  Land  Use  Designation  Map 
(Map 1) and zoning maps is illustrated on Diagram 1.

A land use designation shows the 
full range of land uses that could be 
allowed by zoning on an area of 
land. 
 
These affect the decisions which a 
local trust committee can make 
about any rezoning proposal or 
other zoning changes. They do not 
affect what can be built on the 
property. 
The zoning map and Land Use 
Bylaw are actual regulations that 
show what can be built on the 
land. 
 
These regulations affect property 
owners.
