Re:   Density Transfer Review 
 
 
Background 
 
The Saturna Island LTC initiated a project in July 2015 to review existing density transfer 
policies in the OCP.  A Discussion Paper has been prepared for the LTCs review (February 
2016). http://www.islandstrust.bc.ca/media/339436/discussion-paper2docx.pdf  
 
At its April 21, 2016 Business meeting the LTC passed the following resolution: 
 
That the Saturna Island Local Trust Committee direct staff to prepare a Terms of Reference to 
allow for the review and community consultation via a Special Advisory Planning Commission to 
discuss density transfer options outlined in the Density Transfer Discussion Paper dated 
February 2016. 
 
Staff has prepared a draft terms of reference (attached) for the LTC to consider. 
 
At the April LTC meeting there was discussion as to the length of the term.  The terms of 
reference, item 4, allows for a 6 month term. Item 20 of the terms state that the Commission is 
to have its recommendations prepared for presentation at the November 21, 2016 LTC meeting.  
The LTC requested that this review be completed in a timely manner; therefore, this timing 
seems appropriate. 
 
To satisfy the timelines for establishment of this Commission a notice for expressions of interest 
needs to be placed in the Scribbler by May 20, 2016.  Staff has prepared a notice that will be 
sent to the newspaper as soon as the direction is given by the LTC to proceed. 
 
A minute taker (secretary) will be required to attend all of the meetings of the Commission.  The 
role of the secretary is important y to: set up meetings, ensure compliance with the APC Bylaw,  
take minutes and distribute agendas. 
  
As this can be a complex subject where many technical questions arise it is recommended that 
staff be present at one or more the Commission meetings to answer questions and to ensure 
any options discussed can be implemented.
