Council gives first and second reading to OCP Amendment Bylaw No. 2387
Prior to giving bylaw readings, the 1100-block of Elm Street (east side) was changed by Council to remain as Waterfront Village land use designation instead of changing to Mature Neighbourhood, and that development proposals in the area would be required to show consideration in their design for the heritage context of existing buildings in the area.
Buildings Heights outside the Town Centre - Digital Public Open House
See the City's event calendar for further details: https://www.whiterockcity.ca/Calendar.aspx?EID=1941.
This virtual open house session will include a presentation and overview of the options by staff, followed by a Q&A period. The meeting will be recorded and available on the City's YouTube channel.
Council direction to focus and proceed with OCP Review
On November 23, 2020, Council directed staff to amend the scope of the OCP Review to focus on the Town Centre, building heights outside the Town Centre, and the Waterfront topic areas.
The intention is to accelerate the completion of the OCP Review following a pause in the process due to COVID-19 restrictions on public engagement. Public engagement on building heights is expected to resume in early 2021. This would be followed by Council consideration of OCP Bylaw changes, including Public Hearings for changes that are moved forward.

Town Centre Design Workshop #2
The workshop is open to the public and there will be display boards and interactive activities for all attendees with no need to register.
For those interested in a more hands-on session facilitated by our design consultants, there will be two activities which require registration, in order to ensure there is enough time for all participants at the table to contribute.
The activities which require registration are 'Design Town Centre' and 'Build Town Centre'.
'Design Town Centre' is a graphic facilitated table station where participants will share their ideas and input for the Town Centre in a plan view (two-dimensional).
'Build Town Centre' is a model block facilitated table station where participants can use the blocks to explore their ideas for building heights, open spaces and massing for future development in the Town Centre (three-dimensional).
There will be three rounds where both 'Design' and 'Build' activities are going at the same time. You can register for one, or both of the activities. The options are:
Tuesday, July 9, 2019 - 5:20-6:20pm
Tuesday, July 9, 2019 - 6:30-7:30pm
Tuesday, July 9, 2019 - 7:40-8:40pm
Please register by emailing planning@whiterockcity.ca with your preferred date/time slot and activity by July 5, 2019. If you register for a time slot that is at capacity, we will respond with alternative times that are still available.
