A motion by a Capital Regional District director to curb a development in the Juan de Fuca rural resource lands has been postponed until next month.

Saanich Coun. Vic Derman withdrew the motion B次元官网网址� which states that a rezoning application by Marine Trail Holdings Ltd. is inconsistent with the CRDB次元官网网址檚 regional growth strategy B次元官网网址� from the CRD boardB次元官网网址檚 Aug. 10 agenda, citing the need for a further legal opinion on its merits.

B次元官网网址淢y belief is that the board holds the power to determine whether or not the application is consistent with the regional growth strategy,B次元官网网址� Derman said. B次元官网网址淚f the board was to rule it inconsistent, there is provincial legislation that says very specifically that no regional board is allowed to adopt a bylaw that is inconsistent with its own regional growth strategy.

B次元官网网址淚 intend to seek legal information independently at this time to ensure that the direction that IB次元官网网址檓 taking, which I believe to be legally correct, is in fact correct.B次元官网网址�

Derman also acknowledged that the absence of several CRD directors at the meeting played a part in his decision.

B次元官网网址淭his is a huge region that I think deserves consideration by the full board and as much as possible by the regular directors who make up the board,B次元官网网址� he said.

Derman filed notice with the board that he intends to bring the motion forth when the board next meets on Sept. 14.

The rezoning application would see the development of a resort featuring more than 250 cabins.

Two public hearings on the development will be held at the community hall in Sooke on Sept. 6 and 7.
