Hornby Island Local Trust Area Official Community Plan

An official community plan provides a vision, goals, objectives, and policies for how the community will manage change. The official community plan (OCP) guides planning and decision making about land use and related community priorities. Developed in consultation with community members and organizations, First Nations, and provincial agencies, OCPs also reflect the Islands Trust preserve and protect mandate.

Each OCP is unique to the community or island it serves, but it must include:

• Residential development plans
• Defined land uses:
• Commercial
• Industrial
• Agricultural
• Recreational
• Public utility
• Sand and gravel deposits suitable for extraction
• Land use restrictions due to environmental sensitivity or hazards
• Road, sewer and water systems plans
• Proposed public facilities (public facilities, parks, schools, waste treatment, disposal sites)
