The Capital Regional District (CRD) will be working inclusively with paaʔčiidʔatx̣ (Pacheedaht) First Nation (PFN) and the Port Renfrew community to update the Port Renfrew Official Community Plan (OCP).
Why an OCP Update?
The Port Renfrew OCP update is an opportunity to re-establish the community’s long-term vision, which will be expressed through objectives and policies that will shape the evolution of Port Renfrew.
An OCP is a community’s most important planning document. It informs key municipal decisions throughout the year that impact how and where we live, our ways of getting around, access to services, protection of the natural environment, and the form, location, and quality of future growth.
The development and adoption of the OCP will be influenced by community engagement, planning best practices, and analysis of environmental, socioeconomic, and demographic information.
Objectives of the project include:
Conduct robust and socially inclusive engagement of the Port Renfrew Community
Work closely with PFN staff throughout the process
Understand the current land use inventory and future trends
Establish a clear long-term community vision
Develop a policy framework consistent with the community
Topics of the OCP project include:
Goals and Objectives
Land Use and Housing
Transportation and Mobility
Parks and Open Space
Climate change and Adaptation
Community Wellbeing & Placemaking
Development Permit Areas and Design Guidelines

The OCP represents a community’s vision for the future. It provides objectives and comprehensive policies to guide decisions about community development and land use – including housing, environmental protection, transportation, community well-being, and economic development.
The existing OCP (2004) needs to be updated to reflect changing community needs and to come into alignment with other Capital Regional District (CRD) documents.
