Community Plans

An Official Community Plan is a document intended to be a statement of broad objectives and policies regarding the form and character of land uses within the geographical area affected by the Plan.

Since Official Community Plans are expected to guide development for many years, it is expected that changes will be made from time to time to reflect changing conditions. It is often described as a "living" document. The extent to which changes are permitted is a "judgement call" made by the CRD Board of Directors, taking into consideration the advice they receive from Planning Services staff, the Advisory Planning Commission, other regulatory authorities and the public.
