community comments into the draft OCP and referral of the draft to the 
Advisory Planning Commission.  He reviewed the possible time frame for

• Consideration by the Local Trust Committee of final adoption of both 
the OCP and LUB.

suites on larger lots in an effort to provide rental opportunities, and the 
use of detached units to provide non-permanent affordable rental 
accommodation permitted through a Temporary Use Permit. He explained 
that the use of Temporary Use Permits would allow the community to test
