Planner Stockdill provided an overview of the current regulations on maximum floor area in the 
Land Use Bylaw, the building trends on North Pender Island, and options for the LTC moving 
forward.  
The LTC discussed the matter of maximum floor size, including their goals for the project and 
details that need to be considered, including the following:  
 Maximum coverage limits for lots. 
 Limiting internal square footage specifically, as limitations on overall square footage can 
discourage ecological building practices   
 Approaches taken in similar trust areas including South Pender and Mayne islands.

area, and impermeable lot coverage could be adapted to North Pender Island.
