North Shore Neighbourhood Plan
The North Shore Neighbourhood Plan was last updated in 2008. Since then, the North Shore has experienced population growth, demand for new development, and pressure for expanded community and social services.
In 2018, Council adopted a revised Official Community Plan (KAMPLAN), which sets the direction for growth and development for the city, including the North Shore. The review and update of the North Shore Neighbourhood Plan will not only address new changes and land use needs on the North Shore, but also ensure the new plan is aligned with the goals and vision of KAMPLAN.
The updated plan will provide direction to guide planning and land use management for the North Shore Neighbourhood Plan area.
The planning process for the North Shore Neighbourhood Plan consists of three phases:
Phase 1 involves collecting background research, including demographic, employment, transportation, and land use information.
Phase 2 involves the creation of a community vision, identification of key issues, opportunities, and priorities to address in the plan.
Phase 3 consists of developing policy directions, development guidelines, a draft, and a final plan to be completed by the end of 2021.
The process will involve early and ongoing engagement with the public, stakeholders, and Tk’emlúps te Secwépemc. To learn more about the engagement approach, view the North Shore Plan Community Engagement Strategy here.
