At their meeting on February 24th,  Council directed staff to undertake the next phase of public engagement activities planned for spring of 2025 as detailed in the report entitled ““Official Community Plan Update – Scenarios and Public Engagement”. The report presents three conceptual land use scenarios for how the District could update its Official Community Plan to provide for its 20-year housing need of 22,369 units. The scenarios will form the basis for the public engagement process to be undertaken this spring, with the results returned to Council later this year. 

Scenario 1: Concentrate growth – 90% of growth allocated to existing key growth centres; 10% allocated elsewhere in the District.  

Scenario 2: Expand centres – 90% of growth allocated to expanded key growth centres; 10% allocated elsewhere in the District. 

Scenario 3: Distribute growth - 75% of growth allocated to existing key growth centres; 25% distributed to other centres, corridors, and neighbourhoods in the District. 

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