Terms of Reference are prepared by a region specific technical working committee and recommended to the Parties by Council. Terms of Reference define a Planning Region Boundary; set out membership on the Commission; clarify the relationship between the Parties, the Council, and the Commission; outline the process, timelines, products expected during the Commission’s term; and establish a budget for completion of a recommended land use plan. Explicit roles and responsibilities are not been defined in Terms of Reference, but are included as part of the common land use planning process recommended by YLUPC.
