Official Community Plans (OCPs) are bylaws that help guide local government land use decisions. Each community in the Juan de Fuca Electoral Area has an OCP. An OCP also supports the goals of the Regional Growth Strategy.
OCPs must address:
- housing needs for 20 years;
- commercial, industrial, institutional, agricultural, recreational and public utilities land uses;
- sand and gravel deposits;
- hazardous or environmentally sensitive areas;
- road and utility systems;
- public facilities;
- affordable, special needs and rental housing;
- greenhouse gas emission reduction targets;
- provincial guidelines.
Development of an OCP is a community effort. An OCP reflects the community’s values for growth and development. Community members, local committees and commissions help develop OCPs. The CRD Board adopts an OCP as a bylaw.
