Prince George city council was presented with a report from Urban Systems, the company managing the review of the city’s Official Community Plan (OCP).
The “What We Heard Report: Phase 3” report that was presented to council details the consultation methods and feedback received through the community engagement held between December 2023 and April 2024.
There were several common themes that consistently emerged across the engagement including protecting parks and green spaces, prioritizing pedestrian and cycling infrastructure and prioritizing infill development and density over sprawl.
Phase 4 of the OCP Review process will begin in August 2024 and continue to December 2024. Phase 4 includes the production of the Draft OCP, consultation for the Draft OCP, and finalization of the OCP (i.e., the document and bylaw approval process).
Community members will have an opportunity to provide feedback on the draft OCP through a survey in the fall.
