Official Community Plan - Next Steps re. Logistics

"Council debated the future of the OCP draft. Concerns included poor public engagement (feeling 'lectured to'), the significant density changes proposed in the map, and the incomplete foundational work (like transportation planning). Council largely agreed that the current draft was flawed and had political consequences following the election. The resulting motion, which combined the substance of 8.2.6 and an amended 8.2.7, formalized the decision to scrap the current draft and return to the 2011 OCP as a starting point for future planning, focusing first on 'assessing next steps' in a workshop."
