The Downtown Land Use and Development Plan was adopted by City Council in June 2010 following an extensive public planning process. The Plan supports 2040 Official Community Plan objectives and contains Downtown neighbourhood policies to address issues and guide development over the next 30 years. It covers a wide range of topics including land use, parks and public open spaces, housing, economic development, transportation, urban design, community services, heritage and culture. The Plan includes an implementation strategy to advance policies addressing topics such as key implementation tools and ongoing monitoring and reporting, as well as, City, development community and resident and property owner roles.
