Draft OCP presented
Staff presented the Draft Official Community Plan (OCP) to Council for initial consideration, marking the first major update since the current plan was adopted in 2013. To help illustrate the direction of the new plan, the Council Report highlights five Big Moves—offering a clear summary of key themes and changes.
These five big moves include: focusing development within a new Urban Containment Boundary and Transit-Oriented Areas, expanding affordable, inclusive and diverse housing options, integration of the 2021 Climate Action Plan, improving public access to parks and waterfronts, and enhancing environmental protection through updated mapping and development guidelines.
The next steps for the OCP Bylaw is first reading on October 14, 2025, followed by a Public Hearing on November 10, with adoption targeted for December 15 to meet the December 31, 2025 deadline.
