Official Community Plan Sparks Discussion

Monday, November 15, 2010 10:27 PM

Prince George, B.C. - The fall consultation on the new Official Community Plan has wrapped up, and Manager of Long Range Planning, Dan Milburn says the community is indicating it supports a plan that would concentrate development along the corridors and in the community centres. This is known as "option B".

Councillor Cameron Stolz says he is not getting that message, "In my time on Council I have never had so many phone calls or contact from people who are concerned about the OCP and the options we are looking at." Stolz thinks there has been some sort of communication disconnect because he is not hearing support for what is listed as "option B".

Milburn says there are still two more opportunities for the public to make comment on the Official Community Plan. The report to Council this evening also estimates the final public consultations will cost $100 thousand dollars.

The draft of an official community plan is expected to be brought before Council early next year.

"Stolz thinks there has been some sort of communication disconnect because he is not hearing support for what is listed as "option B"."

So what is he hearing? Is this a secret?

Stolz should try attending some of the community meetings then. Option B was presented to the Crescents community in a workshop hosted by the city and the residents were overwhelming in support of this option.

So who is opposed to it? The money bags living in the heights and the masnions on the Hart?

Methinks there is a line at the bottom of our official community plan with an asterisk that says, "Subject to change without notice".
