PART B - LAND USE OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES

B.1 GENERAL LAND USE OBJECTIVES

A primary purpose of this Part of the Plan is to illustrate the locations of present land uses and show suitable sites for future land uses. Proposed locations for future land uses are shown in a general way by the Land Use Designations shown on Map 1. These Land Use Designations largely reflect present land use on the island. Some existing land uses, such as community and infrastructure uses are illustrated on Maps 2, 3, 6 and 7. Policies for each Land Use Designation are contained in this part of the Plan. They indicate the types of land uses that could be allowed to take place in each designation by zoning bylaws. They also show the maximum density of development that could be allowed. The following general objectives have been followed in establishing the locations and policies for the Land Use Designations. They should also be considered in making amendments to local land use bylaws. The relationship between the Land Use Designation Map (Map 1) and zoning maps is illustrated on Diagram 1.

OCP designations and zoning are intended to be illustrative only

Residential Neighbourhoods Residential 1 Zone Commercial Zone Residential 2 Zone A land use designation shows the full range of land uses that could be allowed by zoning on an area of land.

These affect the decisions which a local trust committee can make about any rezoning proposal or other zoning changes. They do not affect what can be built on the property. The zoning map and Land Use Bylaw are actual regulations that show what can be built on the land.

These regulations affect property owners.
