Preliminary Policy Directions

The Preliminary Policy Directions are more detailed policy ideas for the New Official Plan, building on the 5 Big Moves. They recommend:

a new framework of urban designations intended to better address neighbourhood context,
a proposed approach to growth management with intensification focusing on low-rise building forms along corridors and nodes,
improved support for active transportation and better alignment of land use and transportation policies, revisions to the employment area policies,
integration of public health,
climate change mitigation and climate change adaptation policies throughout the Plan,
and revised policies for the rural area that will support rural and village character and rural economic development.
