Title

Motion with Notice: Noise and Nuisance Bylaw Motions from Salt Spring Island Local Community Commission (Director Holman)

Recommendation

The Electoral Areas Committee recommends to the Capital Regional District Board:

1. That as part of the bylaw review process already underway, staff report on the rationale for including animal noise in both Bylaw 1465 and 3384, and the process and implications for exempting Salt Spring Island from Section 26 of Bylaw 1465.

2. That staff clarify and revise as required exemptions in the bylaws and their legal basis, particularly regarding agriculture taking into account Provincial legislation, in Bylaws 1465 and 3384.

3. That staff report on the implications of including a formal mediation process as part of the new CRD bylaw adjudication process.
