MYTH
The Official Community Plan (OCP) is all about building height and density.
FACT
The OCP deals with a wide range of important issues, such as parks, jobs, community services, art and heritage.
There are 158 policies. Five are on town centre height and density – discussed on 8 of the 71 pages. Transportation and the environment each have at least twice as many pages and policies.
Though important, town centre building height and density is actually a very small part of the OCP.
You expect your elected representatives to do their research before making decisions about your community.
I do my homework. Because sometimes common sense by itself isn’t enough.
