At their regular meeting on February 24th, Council received a report for information presenting the results of phase one of the OCP Targeted Update community engagement process, and an overview of the intended next steps. Overall, there were over 740 interactions with people online and in person. This input will inform the development of the updated OCP policies, reflecting community priorities and preparing Richmond for future growth. Phase two will focus on the identification of proposed strategic policy directions for the four key target areas of Housing Affordability, Equity, Environmental Protection & Enhancement and Climate Mitigation and Adaptation. Multiple staff reports will be presented to Council to provide opportunities for feedback on proposed strategic policy directions prior to community consultation in late spring/early summer 2025. 

Additional information can be found in the full report by City staff.
