The Guidebook for Great Communities
At the November 6 SPC on Planning and Urban Development (PUD), members of the committee voted to delay adopting the Guidebook at the public hearing on December 16. The Guidebook is now scheduled to be adopted in combination with the North Hill Multi-Community Plan that is anticipated to go to SPC on PUD in March and then Council in April. The delay is for administration and other stakeholders to build awareness about the changes being proposed, provide clarity between this work and the City’s shift to multi-community plans and communicate the vision and intent of the guidebook. We will update you as we receive more information and inform you of opportunities for engagement.
In the meantime, we encourage you to:

Here are a few highlights from our urban planning world this month. Be sure to check our blog for a complete listing of recent events and updates!
1. Heritage Conservation Tools and Incentives Report
The report on Heritage Conservation tools and incentives has been postponed to April 2020. It was originally meant to go to SPC on PUD on Planning and Urban Development (PUD) on December 4. Heritage policies were removed from the Guidebook. November 6 at PUD, Councillors asked Administration to include heritage policies in the Guidebook before it is approved.
2. Multi Community Plans (MCPs)
Approximately 42 districts (or MCP areas), representing the built-out area of the city, will undergo the MCP process over roughly the next 10 years (about 4 per year). The MCPs are based on The Guidebook for Great Communities (GGC). The GGC houses common policy which would otherwise be repeated in MCPs. The following MCPs currently underway: North Hill Communities Multi Community Plan (MCP), Heritage Communities Multi Community Plan (MCP) and Westbrook Communities Multi Community Plan (MCP).
3. How Will the City Fund Growth and Change?
The City is working on a strategy called the Established Areas Growth and Change Strategy. EAGCS is a project that helps identify actions and funding solutions for public realm and infrastructure improvements (short-term) and identifies actions to support communities with redevelopment (long-term). Please visit the link above for more information.
