Vacation Home Rentals on Hornby Island – Enhancing the 
Status Quo 
Presented as a handout by the Hornby Island Local Trust Committee for 
discussion at Community Information Meetings– April 2, 4 and 6
th
 2011 
This document is provided to facilitate discussion at the upcoming community information meetings 
The Hornby Island Local Trust Committee has been hearing some consistent messages:  
“Vacation home rentals are crucial to the community.” “They are generally working well.” “Keep the status quo.”  
This paper outlines the “tools” available to the Local Trust Committee to address vacation home rentals.  
 
Official Community Plan Land Use Bylaw Temporary Use Permits Bylaw Enforcement Policy 
An Official Community Plan 
is adopted by a Local Trust 
Committee and contains 
policies to guide land use

Subsequent amendments to a 
Land Use Bylaw (LUB) must 
not be in conflict with 
Official Community Plan 
polices.             Also see 
Temporary Use Permits 
A Land Use Bylaw includes 
“general regulations” such as 
for home occupations   
It includes “zoning 
regulations” which list the 
permitted uses for each zone.
Temporary Use Permits can 
be issued on a lot-specific 
basis to enable a use other 
than those listed in the 
permitted uses for the zone. 
An Official Community Plan   
can contain policies stating 
where and how Temporary 
Use Permits can be 
considered. 
A Local Trust Committee can 
adopt a standing policy to 
specify triggers for 
enforcement in order to make 
appropriate use of limited 
enforcement resources. 
The reality of the status quo 
The current (2002) Official 
Community Plan contains a 
policy which supports 
regulations being included in 
the Land Use Bylaw to allow 
vacation home rentals as a 
home occupation.
