Referral Report 1 - City of Vancouver Official Development Plan — Council Meeting, February 3, 2026

Motion 8 Carried

Summary

Council was asked to refer a draft City of Vancouver Official Development Plan (ODP) — the city's first — to a public hearing for community input and a formal decision.
Councillor Dominiado asked whether the public hearing process would differ from a standard rezoning hearing (it will not) and whether additional outreach would be done given the citywide scope (yes — social media and the Shape Your City webpage will be used).
No conflicts of interest were declared and no substantive debate took place; the referral is an administrative step before the public hearing.
Moved by Councillor Dominiado, seconded by Councillor Johl; carried unanimously.
