Draft Official Plan Amendment (OPA) 18.3 regarding City Vision and City Structure

The purpose of this report is to provide Council and the public with an overview of OPA

18.3. This amendment incorporates the City’s planning vision for the next 20 years and

it sets the framework for more detailed policy changes in subsequent OPAs in 2023.

This report has been structured for information purposes only, with a recommendation

that all comments be referred back to staff for consideration.


Draft OPA 18.4 Neighbourhoods

The purpose of this report is to provide Council and the public with an overview of OPA

18.4. The amendment incorporates proposed modifications to the City’s 2010 Official

Plan to expand opportunities for missing-middle housing (“gentle density”), and to

facilitate the creation of “15-minute” communities across the City’s settlement areas.

Accordingly, this report has been structured for information purposes only, with a

recommendation that all comments be referred back to staff for consideration.
