In December 2025, Council adopted an updated Official Community Plan (OCP), Abbotsforward 2050.
In the months following adoption, staff identified a small number of errors, omissions, and opportunities to improve plan clarity.
The changes contemplated through this housekeeping update are administrative in nature and do not change the foundational urban structure or growth policies of the OCP.
Proposed refinements are intended to improve clarity and intent, falling into the following categories:
- Land Use Designation Corrections & Clarifications
- Mapping Corrections
- Land Use Regulation Clarifications
- Neighbourhood Plan Clarifications
