The purpose of these objectives, policies, and designations is to provide direction for land use and development that are consistent with the community values of the electoral area. The policies of the plan are meant to balance the demands placed on the land base in order to ensure an equitable, comprehensive, and logical distribution of land uses. Policies are often implemented on a long-term basis, generally over a 10 to 15 year period. The OCP provides a basis for the following actions: a) The adoption or amendment of land use regulations, such as the zoning bylaw; b) The direction of public and private investment; c) The guidance of elected officials, and others having statutory approval authority, in the evaluation of proposals, referrals, and amendment of bylaws; and, d) Bringing the SLRD into compliance with provincial regulations, such as the Riparian Area Regulation and the greenhouse gas management requirements of the Local Government Act. The Electoral Area B OCP updates and consolidates three previously written OCPs, and provides new policy direction for the electoral area as a whole. The following OCPs are consolidated into the Electoral Area B OCP: 1. Pavilion Lake (originally written in 2002), 2. Seton Portage
