  b. Thetis Island Bylaw No. 88 (New OCP) 
 
Proposed Thetis Bylaw 88 is intended to replace the current Thetis Island Official Community Plan. This bylaw 
follows a complete review of the official community plan and land use bylaw and addresses a number of 
administrative requirements and best practices.  Community issues regarding affordable housing, home 
occupations and short term vacation rental have also been addressed.   
 
Staff answered a number of questions regarding septic and water issues from existing guest cottages used full time and 
shoreline work and Executive Committee expressed concern with the language used to define mariculture land use. 
 
It was Moved and Seconded that the Executive Committee return proposed Thetis Island Local Trust 
Committee Bylaw No. 88 to the Local Trust Committee with direction that if the second sentence in 
Section 2.7 (“Mariculture is also understood to include fin fish aquaculture bottom culture of other 
species”) is deleted, the Official Community Plan would become consistent with Policy 4.5.2 of the 
Islands Trust Policy Statement (“Trust Council holds that finfish farms should not be located in the 
marine waters of the Trust Area”).
