You can learn more about Comox’s official community plan by attending an open house.
According to the Town of Comox, the open house is part of their ongoing process to update their 13-year-old community plan.
The Town says the plan outlines their long-term vision of the community and directs future development, with the goal of this update is to better align that vision of Comox for the next 20 years.
“The OCP update will offer guidance on important policy areas, including transportation, the environment, climate change, parks and trails, infrastructure, economic development, culture, recreation, as well as truth and reconciliation,” said the Town.
They say so far in the updating process, staff put up a community survey asking residents what they valued the most in Comox, with most people saying they valued the small-town charm, how safe and quiet it is, its proximity to nature, and amenities.
Staff also held workshops earlier this year where residents shared ideas on how to support connection in Comox and how the plan can support the community. This included ideas around placemaking, active transportation, and multi-unit housing.
For this open house, you’ll get to provide input to staff on plan policy and mapping.
Feedback from the event will be used to put together a draft version of the community plan, which is expected to be available later this summer.
Open house runs at the Comox Community Centre on June 24, starting at 3:30 p.m.
