Islands Trust Meeting Highlights Delay in Seniors Affordable Housing Bylaw

governance · 2019-04-24 · Islands Trust meeting

At an Islands Trust meeting on April 24, 2019, frustration was expressed over the delay in drafting the bylaw needed for the Denman Seniors Affordable Housing project near the Guesthouse. Trustees and planners discussed the complexity of approvals involving multiple jurisdictions and the need for harmonizing amendments to the Community Plan.

This is the archive, not the newspaper. Between 2018 and 2026 this site compiled these items automatically from public community sources — chiefly The Islands Grapevine, regional news feeds and community groups. They were not written by a reporter and were not held to the standards this publication now applies. The archive is kept because it is a useful dated record of what happened on Denman, and it is labelled because pretending otherwise would be the first thing we would tell you not to trust. Current reporting is at The Denman Firestarter.

The meeting went on to pass a motion to urge planners to come forward with a draft bylaw... planners explained why the hard deadline was difficult... they must collaborate on different application amendments to the Community Plan.” — The Islands Grapevine – May 2nd, 2019 (May 2nd, 2019)
