To set direction towards a bright and sustainable future, the District
has just launched a comprehensive review of its Official Community Plan (OCP). ‘Identity
DNV 2030’ is an 18-month long planning and engagement effort that seeks
extensive community input to shape the new OCP.
An Official Community Plan (OCP) is an important document that sets direction
for growth, transportation, housing, services and infrastructure while considering
health, diversity, the natural environment, climate change, and the local economy.
This review will be an open and inclusive process, engaging the community throughout
the process in order to develop a long term vision for the District’s future,
and a means to achieve it.
Three community events will be held in June as a way to raise awareness of
the OCP review, and to ensure the broadest possible participation of District
citizens and stakeholders in the process.
The Building Department responds to numerous public requests in regard
to private property. Its daily functions include
such tasks as reviewing and issuing permits for building, mechanical, gas, electrical, trees,
soil, aquatic, signs and business licences. It responds to zoning and setback
requirements inquiries, address change requests, comfort letters, and answers
questions regarding related bylaws, regulations and policies.
The Building Department also offers inspections on all issued permits, processing
of related fees and security payments, plans review, (**appointment required**),
address changes, and fencing regulations, among other assorted services.

Never Too Late to Take the GVRD/BC
Hydro Conservation Challenge!
The
Conservation Commitment contest is over - but it's not too late to learn about
better everyday choices that make our region more sustainable and make a difference
in the world.
In fact, making a difference is surprisingly easy. This program, created by
the Greater Vancouver Regional District, BC Hydro, Translink, Vancity, The Vancouver
Sun and The Province, shows you how simple it is to do one small thing to help
our environment.
And doing the small stuff adds up to big benefits. We'll not only save costs
and protect the environment; we'll also conserve resources for our children, and
their children.
