NOTICE is hereby given that the Hornby Island Local Trust Committee is waiving a public hearing for Proposed Bylaw 
No. 167, cited as “Hornby Island Land Use Bylaw, 2014, Amendment No. 1, 2021”. 
 
The Hornby Island Local Trust Committee gave first reading and second reading of the proposed bylaw at the regular 
business meetings held on March 26, 2021 and July 16, 2021; and will consider further readings to the bylaw at its’ 
business meeting scheduled at 11:30 am, Friday, October 8, 2021, at Room to Grow, 2100 Sollans Road, Hornby, B.C. 
 
What is Proposed Bylaw No. 167 about? 
 
Proposed  Bylaw  No. 167,  if  adopted, will amend  the  current  Hornby  Island  Land  Use  Bylaw  (LUB)  No.  150, by 
proposing one single change to the Hornby Island LUB: to delete regulation 8.2(9) of the LUB in its entirety, in order to 
clarify that the minimum average lot area for subdivision in the Large Lot (R2) zone on Hornby Island is at least  
2.0 hectares in size, instead of 4.0 hectares. 
 
The  public  hearing  is  being  waived  under  the  authority  granted  in  Sections 464(2) and 467 of the Local Government 
Act that states  that a local government  may  waive  the holding of a public hearing on a proposed bylaw if an Official 
Community  Plan  is  in  effect  for  the  area  that  is  subject  to  a  proposed  zoning  bylaw,  and  the  proposed  bylaw  is 
consistent with the plan.  Proposed Bylaw No. 167 is consistent with the Official Community Plan for Hornby Island.
