Official Community Plan Project

Official Community Plan and Zoning Bylaw Update Project

ENGAGEMENT ROUND 3

The Village of Clinton is undertaking a renewal of the Official Community Plan (OCP) and Zoning Bylaw (ZBL), and review of the Development Approval Process (DAPR) to guide the future of Clinton. These projects have the opportunity to foster a positive social, economic, and environmental impact on how Clinton grows and changes over time. 

Where are we now – September 2025 

After months of background work, engagement, and drafting; we are happy to have a Draft Official Community Plan and Draft Zoning Bylaw now ready for the community’s review. 

To inform the drafts, we did several check-ins to gather ideas and feedback from the community along the way. For more information about how we got here, please review the following:  

• Engagement Round 1: Visioning and Priority Setting
  What We Heard report (February 2025) 

• Engagement Round 2: Drafting Check-In to Discuss Key Changes
  What We Heard report (June 2025) 

Get involved 

Engagement Round 3 will focus on answering questions and providing clarifications on the actual draft bylaws, no presentations will be given.  

1. Review the Draft OCP and Draft ZBL 

• Draft Official Community Plan, v18 

• Draft Zoning Bylaw, v19 

2. Ask us questions 

• Option A: Attend a community pop-up 

Similar to previous rounds of engagement, we will be out in the community available to answer your questions on the bylaws. 

• Option B: Schedule a meeting with the Village 

Did you know that you can schedule a meeting with Village staff to discuss the OCP or ZBL, and how those documents impact your property or future plans, anytime you want? These bylaws are important planning tools, used everyday to make and guide decisions, so whenever you have questions or concerns about how they may help or hinder your plans, please come by the office and talk to us about it.  

To schedule a meeting to discuss the Draft OCP or Draft ZBL, please email Brian Doddridge at cao@village.clinton.bc.ca. 

1. Submit a comment 

Let us know how we did: does the Draft OCP and Draft ZBL adequately reflect your vision for Clinton? Have the updates captured your priorities? Please fill out the online survey to let us know.  

Next Steps 

Following Round 3 of engagement, final revisions to the OCP and ZBL will be made and they will go through the Council review and adoption process. This process will include circulation of the bylaws to other governments and government agencies, as well as a Public Hearing; dates yet to be determined.
