Updating the OCP (DPA3)

Local developers, builders, general contractors, architects, and residential designers are invited to an in-person open house on Wednesday, June 5 from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. at the Howe Sound Inn & Brewing (Garibaldi Room) to learn more and provide feedback on how the District is proposing to streamline the development permit process for better housing delivery in Squamish.

Changes will include:

  • Deleting redundant development permit guidelines.
  • Making development permit guidelines more location appropriate.
  • Adding clarity to the intent of existing guidelines.
  • Adding new guidelines where there is an identified policy gap.
  • Amending the Zoning Bylaw and Development Application Checklist to include regulations and information requirements mentioned above.

    • Staff will be available to answer questions in advance of Council consideration of these bylaw changes.

    Refreshments will be provided!
