OCP coming back to the Council with reports on proposed changes

Prince George City Council will take the next steps on the Official Community Plan (OCP) at Monday’s meeting.

This comes after public hearings that were held on March 19th and April 9th, where the public had opportunity to comment on a draft OCP.

During the April 9th meeting, City Council got started on making amendments, before reconvening a week later and requesting reports on possible amendments.

The report on these amendments is set to come back to the Council table on Monday.

In total, staff responded to 33 resolutions, which can be found here.

The report comes with each resolution passed by Council at the meetings held on April 9th and 16th, as well as Administration’s response.

The report also provides recommendations to Council, as well as actions Administration can take to address the resolutions.

City Council will discuss and vote on each resolution, and Administration will come back to Council with an updated draft OCP at a later date.

Once the 2025 OCP is updated to reflected these changes, another public hearing is likely be held to provide the opportunity for the public to comment on the amended version of the document.

Other items up for discussion on Monday includes the replacement of a garbage truck, and establishing a committee for a Council Remuneration Review.

The full agenda for Monday’s meeting can be found here.
