The City’s Official Plan policies address important parts of city-building that affect how the city grows, including transportation, housing, culture and heritage, the environment, and the economy.
The Official Plan addresses:
- where housing, industry, offices, shops, and roads should go
- which services and amenities (e.g., parks, schools, transit) are needed and where they will be located
- what parts of the city will be the focus for growth and what it will look like e.g. heights and densities
- ways to enhance economic development and job growth
The City launched the Official Plan Review at a Special Council meeting held on June 10, 2019. For more information and to sign up for email updates, visit the public engagement page.
