  a. Hornby Island LTC Bylaw No. 142 (OCP Amendment) 
 
Senior Planner Sonja Zupanec and Hornby Trustee Tony Law joined the meeting by teleconference.  Hornby 
Trustee Fred Hunt was present at the meeting. 
 
Hornby Island Local Trust Committee Chair Louise Bell introduced proposed Hornby LTC Bylaw No. 142 and noted 
that the Executive Committee had previously been provided background information at the July 22, 2011 Electronic 
Meeting. 
 
The bylaw has been drafted with the intention of providing some defined parameters for vacation home rental 
(VHR) use on Hornby Island. The existing OCP, approved as being in compliance with Trust Policy, supports VHR 
use as a home occupation but it has been recognized that implementation of such a policy does not fit within the 
traditional framework of a home occupation.  The Hornby Island Local Trust Committee has chosen to examine 
alternative means to allow for VHRs.
