About the OCP
The Official Community Plan (OCP) is the main document that guides growth and change in Saanich. It provides a long-term vision for a livable community based on shared values and sustainability. The OCP works together with other plans and policies.
New Official Community Plan (OCP) Adopted
On May 7, 2024 Council adopted a new Saanich Official Community Plan.
The OCP Bylaw includes the Official Community Plan, Development Permit Area Guidelines and three Centre, Corridor and Village Plans, as follows:
- Schedule A - Official Community Plan
- Schedule B - Development Permit Area Guidelines
- Schedule C - Uptown-Douglas Plan
- Schedule D - Cadboro Bay Village Plan
- Schedule E - Cordova Bay Village Plan
Local Area Plans and Action Plans are adopted by Council Resolution, but do not form part of the OCP Bylaw.
