    What: South Cowichan Official Community Plan Bylaw No. 3510.



       Official Community Plan (OCP) for three (3) southern electoral areas
       Mill Bay/Malahat, Shawnigan Lake and Cobble Hill (Areas A, B and C respectively); 
 
      Now,

1.       Is South Cowichan a legal entity?

2.       Who concocted “South Cowichan”?

3.       Is this OCP exercise a step towards INCORPORATION?

4.       Where does the CVRD Board’s ECO-DEPOT INITIATIVE fit in all this?

        To read the so called "Combined OCP" follow link (Courtesy: CVRD);

      Why is Area-A - Mill Bay/Malahat OCP being reviewed suddenly?
            "It was a project for just Shawnigan Lake and Cobble Hill for quite a while and now, since last summer, the regional board has asked us to include Mill Bay/Malahat" 
             Courtesy: Cowichan News Leader Pictorial Page 5; Mike D'Amour article "Ideas wanted for south end's future"; Comment from: Katy Tompkins (CVRD)

      How does this fit in with the southern electoral area directors' plans for "Urbanization"?

 

      Why the HURRY/RUSH?

     Does this tie in with the BC Ministry EXEMPTIONS (read below)?

   
   British Columbia MINISTRY BLANKET APPROVAL / EXEMPTION ( 
VIEW
   for OCP Bylaws and four (4) types of LAND USE DEVELOPMENT BYLAWS
   at the request of Gerry Giles -- request initiated December 17, 2010

·   Does this give the present Directors' free reign to approve rezoning of large developments without provincial oversight?

·   Are the Directors' up to the task?

·   Could this be a dangerous initiative?

·   Why now?

·   When was the resolution made to allow such a request to the ministry?

·   Who authorized the resolution?

·   Is this an effort to circumvent lack of BI-PARTISAN POLITICAL SUPPORT?

 
 

        Ever wondered how the Chair of the Cowichan Valley Regional District BOARD
        went to achieve this waiver from the BC ministry?

  

·         Did we let the CHAIR go behind our back? Or, did the CHAIR make the effort to go behind our backs? You decide; and

·         What four (4) types of LAND USE DEVELOPMENT BYLAWS?
 

   TIMELINES has the answer.

  
    Re: CVRD Eco-Depot
    Is eco-depot a FISCALLY RESPONSIBLE decision?
