1. CALL TO ORDER 
 
Chair Busheikin called the meeting to order at 12.30 p.m.  She acknowledged that the meeting 
was being held in the traditional territory of the Coast Salish First Nations.  
 
2. APPROVAL OF AGENDA 
 
The following addition to the agenda was presented for consideration: 
 
— To move the closed In Camera meeting regarding bylaw enforcement after agenda item 11.1 
to accommodate planned bylaw enforcement visits 
 
By general consent the agenda was approved as amended. 
 
3. TOWN HALL AND QUESTIONS 
 
Roger Pettit spoke in favour of split zoning, saying it was used coast-to-coast and is sometimes 
the best solution.  In the case of the Stevens application, he said split zoning was the right 
approach in order to contain the industrial uses to a small section of the property. 
 
He directed a question to the bylaw enforcement officer, asking why the process of 
enforcement was triggered only by complaints when some violations are clearly visible from the 
road.  Miles Drew replied that the enforcement policy was largely complaint-driven because his 
department doesn’t have unlimited resources, and outlined the specific situations that trigger 
the enforcement process without a complaint being placed.

Line Marie St. Jacques read a letter in support of the Stevens application and submitted it to 
RPM Kojima. 
 
Debbie Holmes asked RPM Kojima whether, in the case of split zones in the forest zone where 
the remainder of the property remains in F1, the F1 portion would require rezoning in order to 
make any further land use changes.  Mr. Kojima confirmed that any changes not allowed in the 
F1 zone would require rezoning. 
 
Louise Decario said she found the maps for the Stevens application confusing and said the road 
network plan would have been useful to see.   
 
RPM Kojima replied that all the schedules to the OCP, including the road network plan on 
schedule C, were on the website in PDF form, which allows zooming in and out; producing maps 
for printing is a more expensive undertaking that limits to what staff can do.  He recommended 
the use of the online tool road MapIT.  
 
Art Moses asked to have on the record that, in his view, the planner made a false analogy
