Notice of Public Hearing: Bylaw No. 1516, 2026 Town of Golden Official Community Plan

The Town of Golden is creating a new Official Community Plan (OCP). An OCP is a provincially mandated regulatory document that provides policies on a broad range of topics, including housing, transportation, parks, infrastructure and climate change. OCPs designate land for specific purposes, such as commercial, residential, and parks, and establish general policies that guide land use and development.
