Oakridge Centre Policy Planning Program - Documentation‹‹‹ back to Oakridge Centre Policy Planning Program home “Check Back” Open House: Series 4 (November 2 and 4, 2006)A “Check-Back” open house series was hosted in November 2006 as a final opportunity for the community to review new policy recommendations characterizing the future mix of uses and built form on the Oakridge Centre site before the draft policies are brought forward to City Council for approval. The Open House included presentation boards which summarized changes made to the draft Policy Statement based on community feedback and input from both City staff and the site owners. Updates on the adjacent sites on 41st Avenue and Cambie Street were also on display, based on comments and survey results from the July Open Houses and workshop. Another survey was distributed at the Open House as an opportunity to comment on the proposed policies for the Oakridge area. Results can be viewed by opening the following links.
“Follow Up” Workshop: July 15, 2006A “Follow-Up Workshop” was hosted after the Open Houses as an opportunity for small groups of people to discuss their interests in depth with staff on the revised draft Oakridge Centre Concept Plan, draft Oakridge Centre Planning Policies and options for the nearby properties on Cambie Street and 41st Avenue. The workshop was facilitated by City staff. Representatives from Oakridge Centre also participated in answering questions. Open House: Series 3 (July 13 and 14, 2006)The third open house series has just been completed on July 13th and 14th, 2006. The Open House gave an opportunity for the community to review and comment on the revised draft Oakridge Centre Concept Plan for the Oakridge mall site and proposed draft Oakridge Centre Planning Policy and present options for nearby properties on Cambie Street and 41st Avenue. Comment form results are being summarized and will be available on-line in August. The open house presentation boards can be viewed by clicking on the following links:
