Remark 45
“I would like to see a lot of public access to the coast. I could also see a spiritual centre as a nice thing.” [These are both aspects of the draft plan (COB)]
Features
Remark 44
“It would be nice to have an intimate place to gather with friends on the west side of the island.”
[At the crossroads the draft plan suggests a community hall where people can hang out. (COB)]
Remark 52
Should there be a spa at the Cape? The draft plan has an eco-spiritual retreat zoning suggestion, not a spa at this point. (COB)
Remark 50
Should there be a restaurant at the Cape? There is the idea of a café space in the hub of the community. (COB)
Remark 41
Should there be paddleboard and kayak rentals at the Cape? [This isn’t in current plan, as there is no good area for a dock in the study area (COB)]
Remark 39
“I would like to see more regenerative farming on Bowen Island, and participate in it.” [A regenerative farm is part of the draft plan (COB)]
Remark 40
“I’m interested in any possibilities to foster agriculture at the Cape.” [A regenerative farm is part of the draft plan (COB)]
Remark 53
“To plan a village that provides for a variety of ages, facilities to socialize, recreate, wellness practitioners and therapists that supports a diverse housing mix could offer a great appeal for new residents as well as short stay and daily visitors.” [All of these aspirations are included in the zoning and programming suggestions. – COB]
Remark 54
I would like to visit a kind of town square with a few small shops near the coast at the Cape. [A commercial zone is included in the draft plan. – COB]
Remark 35
The draft includes the possibility of camping on the level plateaus along the southern coastal park. (COB)
Remark 36
“I’d like to camp at the Cape. The low coastal area at the southeast of the property has a lot of flat land that would be ideal for this. Maybe there could be a reservation system to keep it small and priorize Bowen residents.”
Remark 37
There is no place for islanders to camp other than back yards. People camp at the Cape illegally every year anyway.
Remark 31
[In the public lands workshop…] “people imagined grandparents working with their kids and grandkids in the garden.” “There is a farm included in the draft plan and programming could include kids and grandkids pairing up.” (Candy Ho, COB)
