Official Community Plan

The City of Campbell River's Official Community Plan (OCP) guides planning and land use management decisions in the City. The OCP offers a 50-year vision for our community, outlining goals and strategies for realizing this vision. For information on the OCP development and adoption process, visit Official Community Plan | Get Involved Campbell River.

The OCP provides direction for the following areas:

• preservation of the environment
• economic development
• land use planning
• growth management
• housing, infrastructure
• transportation
• energy and emissions management
• open space planning
• social and cultural aspects of our community
• community facilities and services
• the agriculture system

Council can amend the OCP in cases where development applications don't align with the text or land use designations in the plan. Adopted amendments are then incorporated into the Official Community Plan.

If your proposal is not consistent with the OCP land use designations or policies, you may apply for an OCP amendment. These amendments are processed through the Development Application process.
