Official Community Plan 2024 Update


What’s Happening

The City is embarking on the process of making important updates to its Official Community Plan (OCP)  beginning in the fall of 2024. The OCP that will guide the City’s growth and long term goals for the next 25+ years. 

The current OCP was approved in 2012. Since then, Richmond’s population and economy has grown and there is a need to address its evolving social and environmental factors.

The overarching themes of the updates include resiliency, equity and adaptation with six target areas.

The OCP update is scheduled to be completed in winter 2025.
