An Official Community Plan (OCP) is a policy document that sets out the vision, goals and objectives to guide the municipality. Council, City staff and community members use the OCP to help make decisions about a variety of issues including housing, transportation, employment, social well-being and the provision of services.
WHAT IS AN OCP AND Why is it imPOrtANt?
OFFICIAL COMMUNITY PLAN: PUBLIC HEARING UPDATE
“in 2031, the City of North Vancouver will be a vibrant, diverse, and highly livable community that is resilient to climate or other changes, and sustainable in its ability to prosper without sacrifice to future generations.”
community vision
Cityshaping is the process to update the community’s long range policy plan, the Official Community Plan (OCP), which has been underway since June 2011. Over 4,600 community members have contributed to the process.
Ultimately, it is City Council who must approve a new OCP. in July, 2014, City Council provided direction on the preparation of the new OCP. that version of the OCP was considered at a Public hearing on september 29, 2014. Council did not support that version of the Plan and the OCP Bylaw was left at second reading.
City Council then revised the OCP Bylaw in January 2015 and referred it to a new Public Hearing to be held on March 3, 2015. the revised version is summarized in this handout.
For complete information, please refer to the full OCP Bylaw on the City website at cnv.org/CityShaping.
the main changes made since the september 2014 Public hearing include:
• Changes to densities in the East 3rd Street Area (Moodyville).
• Continued potential for a secondary suite and a coach house.
• Increase to height and density for the 200 Block East 15th Street (north-side) and 1500 Block Eastern Avenue (east-side).
Please refer to the schedule A Land Use map included in this handout to see the resulting land uses.
NEW PLANAT-A-GLANCE
Land Use – Housing, Population and EmploymentDecisions around land use are key to developing a complete, compact, urban community with easy access to a variety of housing types, transit, employment and recreation.
Parks, Recreation and Open SpaceA linked system of public spaces, indoor and outdoor recreational facilities and services, parks, greenways and natural areas for healthy, active living and community gatherings are important to a complete community.
Transportation, Mobility and AccessOne of the most significant issues facing the community is meeting its transportation needs through a variety of convenient transportation choices while supporting efficient goods movement. this includes planning for residents with disabilities, limited mobility and low income.
Arts, Culture and HeritageA creative community, building on the diversity of its people, landscape and history, to inspire innovation and reinforce a sense of place.
Community Well-beingFostering a community where people are supported and encouraged in an inclusive, healthy and safe environment.
Economic DevelopmentWhen the economy is working well, the community prospers, enabling community members to support themselves and providing a strong tax base from which to fund services and infrastructure.
Natural Environment, Energy and ClimateA healthy environment for the future includes protecting and improving ecological health, reducing greenhouse gas emissions, and integrating climate adaptation measures.
Municipal Services and InfastructureBuilding a financially sustainable legacy of green, durable, timeless infrastructure and responsive, thoughtful delivery of services helps to sustain the health and well-being of the community.
