The City of Prince George kicked-off the Official Community Plan (OCP) Review in fall 2023. The existing OCP was adopted in 2011 and a lot has changed since that time.
Frequently asked questions
About the OCP
How do I get involved in the OCP review?
Read the draft OCP bylaw
The final working copy of the plan was presented to Council and the first reading was approved on February 3, 2025. The bylaw is meant to be read in its entirety and no individual policy is intended to stand on its own. The OCP policies provide a comprehensive framework for moving Prince George towards its long-term vision.
The Land Use Plan (Schedule 12 in the draft OCP) is a powerful tool, as it shows where different land uses should be directed across the city. The Land Use Plan is meant to be read alongside the OCP policies in their entirety. Land use designations are generalized in OCPs, with more specific direction provided in Zoning Bylaws.
