| VILLAGE OF FRUITVALE | | OFFICIAL COMMUNITY PLAN UPDATE | | | | The Village of Fruitvale is undertaking a major update to its Official Community Plan (OCP). The purpose of this bylaw update is to set a long-term vision for the community by providing direction with respect to the character of existing and proposed land uses, and their associated servicing requirements. Official Community Plans also address a range of other issues, such as housing policies, protection of the natural environment, and greenhouse gas reduction. It is expected that this process will span approximately one and a half years and will involve extensive community consultation that is both accessible and inclusive. In the coming weeks, we will provide further information with respect to opportunities for public involvement. We will also be unveiling a dedicated website at the end of August that will provide links to applicable background information, details of required OCP content and continual updates on the overall process. We look forward to initiating this exciting project and encourage all interested people to get involved! For more information, please contact the Village of Fruitvale’s OCP consultant, Mr. Gord Tycho (250-979-1221; gtycho@ctqconsultants.ca) or Ms. Lila Cresswell at the Village of Fruitvale (250-367-7551; cao@village.fruitvale.bc.ca).
