Chair Morrison called the Public Hearing to order at 10:10 am. She read the 
Chairperson’s Opening Statement and explained that this Public Hearing is being 
conducted to hear views regarding proposed Bylaw No. 222.  
 
2. PROPOSED BYLAW NO. 222 (OCP) 
 
Planner Rittemann reported that all notification requirements under the Local 
Government Act have been completed. She explained that the intent and purpose of the 
proposed bylaw is to amend the Official Community Plan to address a “housekeeping” 
item that would correct an inaccuracy and omission in the original Development Permit 
Area 4 mapping schedule for Streams, Lakes and Wetlands. She reported on the 
agency referrals and responses received and noted that to date there have been no 
written submissions received.  
 
The location of the speakers list, comment sheets for written comments, and Public 
Hearing submission box were pointed out and the public was advised that all 
submissions must be received by the end of the Public Hearing.

Regulation  (RAR)  protection  of  wetlands.  She  asked  for  clarification  of  the  term

Use Permit application, has been determined to meet the criteria for RAR 
protection.
