Official Community Plan - Proposed Regional Context Statement

Council approved a statement linking Town growth to transportation capacity and referred it to the CRD.

"Major debate occurred over linking growth to transportation. Mayor Tobias introduced a lengthy amendment stating growth should be pace-limited by infrastructure capacity. Councillor Rogers argued for changing 'promotes' to 'enables' regarding infill housing to reflect that the policy was a provincial mandate, not a local preference."
