Land Use Bylaw Change 
It was stated that the proposed LUB change (subdivision regulations) is a critical change and 
surprise was expressed in that it is going to first reading.  It was suggested that the APC should 
receive a referral with respect to draft bylaw changes before consideration of first reading. 
It was noted that at the bottom of page 28 of the agenda package, as part of the proposed 
bylaw change, that the LTC can make a waiver to exempt a proposed lot from the minimum 
highway frontage requirement.   
Staff noted that the LTC has jurisdiction to waive the lot frontage requirement. 
Further discussion clarified that this bylaw change was initiated by the LTC before it was decided 
to do a complete OCP and LUB review and that this bylaw change was made a priority to correct 
an error in the bylaw.   
First Nations Interests 
It was noted that the proposed bylaw should be referred to all First Nations with   interests here.
