Re:    Discussion and Refinement of Scope for Land Use Bylaw Review 
 
 
BACKGROUND 
At the June 11, 2012 regular business meeting of the Galiano Island Local Trust Committee 
(LTC), a preliminary list of topics for a review of the Land Use Bylaw (LUB) was presented and 
discussed. The list consisted of directive policies from the Galiano Island Official Community 
Plan (OCP), from the LTC’s Top Priority List and technical amendments suggested by staff. At 
the June 11 and July 9 regular LTC meetings, small changes were made to this initial topics list. 
This report seeks to further refine the list in order to provide staff with a focus for bylaw 
development, as well as foster discussion regarding LTC priorities for the LUB review as well as 
any topics that may be better suited for future projects.  
 
A comprehensive list of potential topics to be included in the LUB review is attached to the report 
(Attachment 1). It has been amended from the tables presented at the June 11, 2012 LTC 
meeting but is organized in the same manner.  
 
MAJOR TOPICS AND CATEGORIES: 
 
Upon compiling the tables in Attachment 1, staff noted that several topics could be combined 
into thematic areas. These are listed below:  
 
1. Review of Subdivision and Servicing Regulations: This thematic area includes topics 
such as water use in terms of varying densities, uses and home occupations, 
desalination systems, cisterns, and standards for potable water supply. Items 3, 12, 18, 
21, 22, 23 in Attachment 1 speak to this theme. 
 
2. Green energy and green building standards: This thematic area includes topics such 
as siting and height regulation for ocean-loop geo-exchange, solar panels, wind turbines, 
and any future associated Development Permit Area amendments; encouraging the use 
of cob and rammed earth construction via relaxations on building footprint 
measurements, and the provision of bicycle and electric vehicle parking. Items 28, 29, 
31 and 41 in Attachment 1 speak to this theme.
