    • [3:44:02] “So we can have a look at this to see how we still need to reference the report, but we could put language in it related to, I mean, and that's why that sentence is there, given the groundwater limitations and just caution is needed when considering future housing capacity.”
    • [3:38:55] “And in addition to that, we received some comments from Island Health, and those have also been incorporated, and we've got an email was sent to the trustees identifying what those changes would be, and we have a resolution that very specifically identifies those changes.”

    • [4:42:26] “so the nature of that that I'm thinking is it's really about introducing the OCP, identifying what the OCP is.”

    • [1:59:03] “So I would imagine, you know, where there are similarities in experience on the islands, and the experiences are different, South and North and individual islands, with the team approach, there's an opportunity for this type of sharing.”
    • [0:48:15] “So there's been some work that's been done around watershed resilience, and we've also done some work in looking at how we can bring all of the data points that we use when we have applications, how we can use them in a broader way.”
    • [0:29:40] “And so I think they're similar, but different in the sense of there's still some decisions. So the whole island, you know, there is more bureaucracy and costs associated, obviously, with that process. And it's still an option.”

    • [0:26:22] “But they're all part of a whole discussion. And so I'm just sort of introducing that perspective, because if you choose to start to look at density in a different way, and if you choose to look at it from a perspective of not necessarily creating single lots to allow people to have their home and their cottage,”
    • [1:41:22] “Do you want to continue with the traditional ways or are we looking at something different? And it's clear on Denman and Gabriela that there's conversations around something different. So what is that other different? And we have to address the existing that is traditional. We have to have that conversation.”
    • [0:25:25] “And we had to introduce this conversation, the Gabriela meeting this morning as well, is that there is an opportunity to reevaluate how you look at density on the island and move from a more traditional approach where the islands were, properties were zoned in a certain way and density was”

    • [0:08:26] “the need to put more emphasis on on fire resilience. So that's, that's, you know, one of these really key pieces that we've integrated. So we, what you've, the policies you've had, you have before you are the ones we actually provided to the groups, and then we provided their comments, but we're working to integrate those comments and any and any additional feedback that you provide to us today.”
    • [0:07:02] “topics. And so what I thought is we could, we could just sort of go through each topic. And what I'm looking for, at this point, what, what the purpose of this meeting is to gather any feedback, questions, feedback, additional considerations that you want to see in the in the policies related to these, these subjects, because the way that the process, this process is moving forward is that we”
    • [0:18:39] “that's a good point. And I'll just mention that we are basing it. So we looked at the existing. So we're working from the existing. So that's where that particular policy has come from. And this is what this whole process is about, right? We're in a changing it. Things change. And so we need this. This is exactly the feedback we need.”

    • [0:15:23] “And, I mean, what was interesting is that there seemed to be a lot of agreement that, in a general sense, of the vision for the island being, yes, nobody's against affordable housing, but we want to do it in the right way where we are preserving and protecting the environmental values of the island.”
    • [0:30:00] “So we'll get that material together, we'll schedule the meeting with you, the special meeting, get that sign off, and then we will create the communications materials that will go on the website as well as we'll get boards made.”
    • [0:20:15] “And then looking at opportunities for people to be able to bring to provide feedback. We've talked to Morgana, our communications specialist, and she's identified a few different ways that people can”

    • [0:47:31] “Focus on some of the key themes that are emerging, that have emerged, those key interests that have been identified in the staff report, the things that sort of popped out at that meeting were, you know, interest in the density bank, expanding the permissions around secondary suites and detached units, and then this conversation about more co-hosts, that keeps coming up as well.”
    • [1:09:28] “So their opportunity isn't just going to be in that weekend, but it could be over this period of time, you'll have an opportunity to send your letters. We can set up something up on the website. Like I said, it's fairly straightforward. Morgana said to set up a board where people can just kind of post their information and all of that map information could be available.”
    • [0:47:55] “So there is an opportunity through this process to potentially pre-zone some areas that are really clearly, clear opportunities. And, you know, that means you fast forward about two years, potentially on a rezoning. But that's in those areas where, you know, things have been really thought out, we've got the mapping, and there's some confidence that it's a good idea.”

    • [0:05:48] “So in addition to this, we also have a survey that's out right now, and we've just extended the deadline from March 31st, I think to the middle of April, because we've had the great opportunity to coordinate with the RDN on sending out, they wanted to send some information out on ahead of World Water Day on water and environmental things that they're doing.”
    • [0:55:16] “And I see that there is a gap for the Islands Trust in general. And that gap is with respect to these other things. And so I think there's a decision to be made about whether, and the other thing I'll say is that I think you want to be careful that we're not getting caught up in discussions that are beyond the jurisdiction of the LTC.”
    • [0:56:45] “But I don't, but I also want to find a way to support all of this good work that's happening in the community and all of the conversations. So, and I mean, maybe you have some thoughts and maybe it'll evolve as we move through this process and how to effectively support that other work that needs to happen.”

    • [1:32:37] “until the end of fiscal. Yeah. And then we can reevaluate after fiscal. We've got new budget for communications. So that's an opportunity, you know, and what Morgana and I do is we do work plan with budget numbers attached so we can integrate whatever additional pieces you want into that.”
    • [1:07:42] “Well, first to decide what you'd like, what kind of DPAs you want, and then to have a look at the models that exist and, you know, build from those to, you know, make them specific to Gabriela's interests and needs.”
    • [1:26:47] “Yeah. And we've actually got some folks from the RDN that are going to be attending the ones that are working on their parks and trails strategy.”

    2025-01-21 · 37 lines

    • [1:38:09] “So if we're looking at March for bringing forward draft bylaws on the part two and part one and part two, but we potentially have the opportunity to, you know, looking at the suitable analysis, a land analysis to also begin to look at, you know, those areas where we want to expand the accessory dwelling units, for example.”
    • [1:28:07] “And once we've, we have identified, you know, well, once the trustees are happy with the areas that we sort of expand this permission for ADUs to, then we do send, as we, you know, we have the opportunity, as we did with Maine, to send out some information to those property owners.”
    • [1:27:47] “So that can be part of our process for sure in terms of identifying if there are properties outside of what is determined to be suitable because there are local conditions that contribute to land being suitable that we need to kind of get to the bottom of.”

    • [3:42:40] “So there's just a few things have been pushed a little bit in some places. And so it's not significantly changed from the previous. I've also updated the budget to reflect that 10,000 to First Nations engagement. And that's just by taking a little bit out of each of the others.”
    • [3:35:19] “We have the regional planning team, Robert Cugino, to be specific, has been doing a review of all the DPAs in the Islands Trust area and pulling out some of the strengths of them and strengthening some of the ones that we know are going to be of interest to the bulk of LTCs.”
    • [2:59:21] “Um, and so I'm going to, I'll go through, um, sort of what the engagement direction that we're proposing now is. It's not that far off from, um, where it was before. It's just a little more fine tuned, um, based on, like I say, our, our deeper evaluation of things.”

    • [0:58:09] “So we're not overlapping. So there's an incredible amount of synergy and efficiency happening right now like Denman is being going to be able to take advantage of the work that's happening on main and, you know, and it's just, it's all very related and I really don't know that we have had this opportunity in the trust before so I assure you that, you know, things are moving forward, I would say probably more efficiently.”
    • [1:39:45] “I'm hearing that in principle, you're agreeing with this amendment, we can maybe do a little bit more thinking and around the water. And I think that also affects other parts of the bylaw. So I can make sure that, you know, that we, we, I can make it clear sort of what requirements are and what, you know, the what the opportunities are and what the challenges might be with these alternatives, if that's helpful.”
    • [0:57:27] “And I think we need to think of ourselves as a federation. It's not, and it's not going to, it's definitely not influencing the timelines on getting these things done. Because again, I'm not, it's not just Narissa time. It's also Marla's time. It's also Renee time. It's also other colleagues that, oh, more than that, you know, I mean, it's been Anthony time. It's been Robert Kijima time.”

    • [1:37:26] “So it's jumpstarted a bit of the, this will jumpstart that thinking for the OCP process. And, you know, as we move forward, you can, we can make some decisions about whether you want to advance some of the housing recommendations ahead of the OCP process in general or not.”
    • [1:36:57] “I will add that because of the work that the Housing APC has done to date, when we get into the OCP review, what will be occurring on other themes, essentially, you already have material for housing to begin to think about with respect to the housing policy.”
    • [1:38:30] “And so those islands that are within the CRD, the CRD has recently, it's been, that's been collected for, by, the funding has gone into the organization, I believe it's called the Gulf Islands Tourism Association or something like that.”

    • [1:31:39] “We're looking for support from the LTC to move the remaining funding from the OCP project to the nation before the end of fiscal so that we can, you know, start to work with them on with respect to their understanding their interests, their land use interests and how that will connect with the official community plan review project.”
    • [1:30:51] “And as you know, all nations have capacity issues. Even the Squamish that are actually quite a well-supported nation in terms of staffing, even taking up on new projects and being able to actually really effectively dig into them does take time and they simply don't have the staff resources.”
    • [1:43:10] “Yeah, you know, we're happy to engage at any point in time to discuss, you know, the format, you know, anything like that, because we do want this event to be one that the community, you know, all the community can access and, and that it'll be designed in a way that that is going to work.”

    • [0:50:23] “So here's another, so requiring workforce housing as a condition of rezoning for commercial institutional purposes. Again, this is, you know, whatever, don't know what kind of opportunity there would be on Denman, but it's a fairly, you know, it's something that we're kind of recommending for, well, these days, so many local governments are doing this now, well, in rural areas, particularly.”
    • [0:03:57] “And as I've indicated, kind of organize them in a way that we could sort of focus it in a way that kind of puts them into categories a little bit so we can focus on the sort of tangible changes and the things that are within this project scope and also identifying the things that are outside the project scope but shouldn't be forgotten.”
    • [0:21:17] “Yeah, really, you don't need to. Like, they're all accessory dwelling units. So you could just refer to them all as, I've only identified a bit of a difference. Like, really, you don't have to even have a definition for alternative dwelling units. They are essentially accessory dwelling units from a land use perspective, right?”

    • [2:53:31] “And, you know, like I say, staff are looking pretty, it's looking pretty, is pretty excited about this process. It's a new process. We were all uncertain how we'd move into it. And still, we're still going to have to navigate things as we go along, because we're not working with any other type of models. So, but the community has been great. So, yeah, looking forward to moving forward.”
    • [2:46:11] “wide variety of topics. I had the chance to speak to some of them. And well, as you all know, like, very, you know, very active and passionate folks that have some really good ideas around how they want to engage the community. So it's, you know, this is all a bit of an experiment for us. We've never done anything like this in the Islands Trust.”
    • [2:49:57] “We did have a meeting with our senior freshwater specialist, William Shoba, and I know the trustee spoke to that, so that was a useful and valuable use of time.”

    • [3:07:46] “Right. Maine hasn't dug into identifying those other how pieces in their process but other other LTC might want to, and that this action plan is it, or like our community members may want to see that some of those other pieces are identified in their”
    • [3:19:33] “So I think the purpose of this tool or this report is not to blindly cut and paste bylaws, that it gives an indication of some opportunities and absolutely there are probably many that are not necessarily, not the best in there.”
    • [1:34:51] “This guideline, like, I mean, all of the pieces that are guidelines, including the process, including this template and the action,”
