CITY OF TRAIL OFFICIAL COMMUNITY PLAN UPDATE
An Official Community Plan (OCP) is a local government bylaw, that provides objectives and policies to guide decisions on planning and land use management. OCP’s provide the long-term vision of a community and serve as a statement of objectives and policies that guide decisions on municipal and regional district planning and land use management.
The City of Trail’s existing OCP was adopted in 2001, and last updated in 2010; since then, Trail has experienced changes in regard to its population, economy, and the environment. In addition, the community and Council’s needs and priorities for growth and development have also changed. As a result, an updated OCP is required to support and reflect the community’s current long-term vision, goals, and objectives.
