SUBJECT: Commercial Vacation Rentals  
The  Gabriola  Island  Local  Trust  Committee  (LTC)  passed  the  following  resolution  at  the  September  7,  2017 
regular business meeting: 
GB-2017-117 
It was MOVED and SECONDED 
That  the Gabriola  Island  Local  Trust  Committee  request  planning  staff  to  provide a  question  and  answer 
and a press release regarding the requirements of the legal operation of short-term vacations rentals on 
Gabriola Island.  
Staff  have,  in  consultation  with  the  Bylaw  Enforcement  Manager, prepared  an  information handout (see 
attachment) in response to the LTC’s request.   The  handout  provides  basic  information  about  Commercial 
Vacation  Rentals  (commonly referred to as “Short-Term Vacation Rentals”), the  process  of applying  for  a 
Temporary Use Permit to permit a Commercial Vacation Rental , and how to obtain further information. 
Subject  to  any  changes  requested  by  the  LTC,  the  handout may  be  posted  on  the  Gabriola  LTC  website  and 
provided  in  hard  copy  at  the Islands  Trust  Northern Office.  The  LTC  may  also wish to  distribute  this  handout 
through the Gabriola Sounder. The cost for distribution would be: 
 $620.80 for distribution to Gabriola households (1900 copies); or 
 $737.60 for distribution to Gabriola households and newsstands (2,800 copies). 
A  resolution  would  be  required  for  this  expenditure as  there  is currently no  budget for  a  Commercial  Vacation 
Rentals project.  Such a resolution may be worded as follows: 
That  the  Gabriola  Island  Local  Trust  Committee authorize  the  expenditure  of  $[insert  dollar 
amount]  from  the  2017/18  Local  Trust Committee  communications  budget  for  the  purpose  of 
distributing the Commercial Vacation Rentals handout through the Gabriola Sounder.
