Welcome to Let's Talk Abbotsford

An <a href="https://municipal.qp.gov.bc.ca/civix/content/coa/coabylaws/o/ocp/?xsl=/templates/browse.xsl">Official Community Plan (OCP)&nbsp;</a>is one of the City&rsquo;s most important tools. It helps influence the way our community grows and develops by guiding how land should be used. Land use and development influence all parts of our daily lives: where we live, work and play.For some development projects, an applicant may submit an OCP amendment application to request approval for a change to the land use and/or densities supported on a property. The City of Abbotsford Development Application Procedures Bylaw requires a Public Information Meeting (PIM) be hosted for OCP amendment applications to gain input from the community on the proposed change before it is considered by Council.<a href="https://letstalkabbotsford.ca/prj24-031" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">View the OCP Amendment Application for 33868 Pine Street (PRJ24-031)</a>
