The City of Port Moody wants to hear your feedback on the draft policies and proposed land use changes.
Since the Official Community Plan (OCP) review process began, hundreds of community members shared their own vision and provided input for the future of Port Moody.
As a result of this, updated OCP policies have been drafted and await your final feedback at upcoming community meetings scheduled in Port Moody as follows:
Monday, January 19, Glenayre Community Centre
Thursday, January 22, Heritage Mountain Community Centre
Monday, January 26, Wellness Room, Recreation Complex
Wednesday, January 28, Old Orchard Hall
Thursday, February 5, Kyle Community Centre
A series of 4 maps showing the proposed land use changes under consideration as part of this next phase of OCP consultation are now available for viewing here: www.cityofportmoody.com/ocp.
Copies of the maps, revised draft policies (January 2009), OCP reports, and public comments can be viewed at the reception desk at Port Moody City Hall, at the Planning counter on the 2nd floor and in the library at the reference desk inside the white OCP Consultation Summary binder.
Registration for all meetings begins at 6:30pm, followed by a short presentation and focus group feedback session from 7:00 to 9:00 pm.
As a resident of the historic Moody Centre, I plan on participating to get an understanding of how the revitalization will be shaped by the adoption of this OCP.
This is a very exciting time for Port Moody as the Evergreen Line and Murray Clarke Connector finally come to the forefront. I encourage all my Port Moody neighbours to attend a session and get involved.
