Address Impacts of Resort-Style Development on Small Communities

BE IT RESOLVED that the Union of British Columbia Municipalities initiate discussions with the Province on the feasibility and implications of two possible options to address the impacts of resort-style development on small communities: 1. With regard to property owners, a Local Government Home Owner Grant based on the provincial model; and 2. With regard to non-property-owner residents, a Resident Rebate Program or establishment of a new tax classification for non-resident property owners.
