3.2 Planner  Presentation  on  Salt  Spring  Island  Bylaw  No.  471 Temporary  Use  Permits  for 
Residential Uses 
 
Planner Youmans presented  an  overview  of  proposed  Salt  Spring  Island  Local  Trust 
Committee Bylaw No. 471. Proposed Bylaw No. 471 would amend the Salt Spring Island 
Official  Community  Plan to  allow  the Salt  Spring  Island Local  Trust  Committee to  issue 
Temporary  Use  Permits for  residential  uses. Planner Youmans presented  the  following 
highlights:  
 Proposed Bylaw  No.  471  was  last  considered  by  the Salt  Spring  Island Local  Trust 
Committee in 2014 and staff are recommending a number of amendments to simplify 
the bylaw and bring it in line with the intent of Temporary Use Permitswhile helping 
address the Island’s housing needs.  
 Proposed Bylaw No. 471 would provide opportunities to use Temporary Use Permits 
to provide staff housing for local businesses and services, and potentially to permit 
tiny homes on wheels on residential properties. Under the proposed amendments, 
the Salt Spring Island Local Trust Committee would retain the ability to consider other 
temporary residential forms such as temporary full-time residential use of secondary 
suites and seasonal cottages. 
 
 3.3 Bylaw Workshop  
 
The meeting moved into a workshop format at 6:50 p.m. The members of the public and 
Trustees  moved  into  roundtable discussions regarding  proposed  Bylaw No. 471. Each 
table   was  presented  with  a  booklet   containing  three   exercises. Planner  Yo
