 Bylaw Enforcement Notification (BEN) Bylaw

Vacation Home Rental (VHR) concerns; 
o Consideration should be deferred: explanation and community consultation should be 
conducted; 
o A Bylaw Enforcement Policy Standing Resolution should be created to address concerns 
of enforcing on non-conforming housing; 
o Should be referred to the Advisory Planning Commission (APC); 
o Adoption was opposed; a review of the impact on the community is needed;  
o A review of the Official Community Plan (OCP) should be undertaken as too many 
regulations are not reflective of the community’s way of life at this time; 
o The list of infractions is too large and needs to be prioritized and limited to the most 
offensive infractions;  
o Adoption was not supported as it will affect people with limited means and small lots 
disproportionately and create ill feelings toward the Islands Trust; 
o Adoption was supported as voluntary compliance is not effective enough; 
o Deferral of decision was supported until September; consideration of the bylaw should 
not be deferred unti
