Lasqueti Island Land Use Bylaw No. 78, 2005
The Lasqueti Island Local Trust Committee's land use bylaw, which applies in qathet, Electoral Area E. Our summary of its 1 the land based zone zone, read from the consolidation to 2025-03-14 and checked 2026-10-11. Its other zones aren't summarised here.
The zones side by side
| Zone | Homes allowed | Smallest lot for a subdivision | Lot coverage | Height limit |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| LB Land Based | One home on any lot; more by lot area in the lot's subdivision district: one per 4 ha in District A, per 8 ha in District B, per 65 ha in District C (s. 3.9(1), (2)); a guest cabin with each home (s. 3.9(3)); on a lot in two zones, one home per 4 ha (s. 3.10). Which district a lot is in is on the bylaw's Schedule C map, not on our map, so it is unclear here | 4 ha in Subdivision District A, 8 ha in District B, 65 ha in District C (s. 3.11(1)); in the ALR the Agricultural Land Commission must approve too (the note to s. 3.11) | None set for the zone (s. 4.2) | None set: the bylaw gives no height limit for buildings in the zone (s. 4.2, Part 3) |
"Not set" means the zone itself sets no figure; general rules elsewhere in the bylaw may still apply. Each zone's page has its uses, setbacks and the general rules that apply to it.
Site-specific exceptions listed in the bylaw by legal description can add or change uses for one property, and development permit areas, the ALR and building rules apply on top. Confirm with the Islands Trust's office for the island before you buy or build.
