OCP back for public hearing on Wednesday

Prince George City Council will be hosting another public hearing for the Official Community Plan Wednesday evening.

Other public hearings were held in March and April earlier this year, at which time around 20 residents spoke at the meeting to give their thoughts on the draft OCP.

After those public hearings, Council requested potential 33 amendments to the plan, which were brought back to the Council table for voting in July.

At the September 3rd meeting, Council voted on implementing the amendments into the plan, and gave second reading to the updated Official Community Plan bylaw.

It’s possible another public hearing on the document could be required if further significant amendments are made to the OCP after Wednesday’s public hearing.

A redlined version of the most recent draft can be found here.

The hearing will take place in Council Chambers at City Hall, starting at 6:00 p.m. Wednesday.

Residents can also phone in, or provide written or emailed comments if they’re unable to attend the meeting, instructions for doing so can be found here.
