Pelham residents are invited to attend one of three upcoming Public Open House regarding the draft Official Plan for the Town of Pelham.
A Draft Official Plan is available for review on the Town’s Official Plan page on Engaging Pelham. www.pelham.ca/officialplan
The purpose of the Open House is to provide an opportunity for the community to comment on the draft policies and overarching themes. The Official Plan is a document that guides both short and long-term growth and development. The Town has worked on updating the Official Plan to ensure that growth in the community is appropriately accommodated in the context of the Town’s unique history and character.
Key highlights of the draft Official Plan update include:
• Strategic directions focused on creating vibrant, healthy communities, addressing climate change and economic vitality.
• Acknowledgment of First Nations history and treaty lands.
• Updated growth management strategies, including revised population and dwelling forecasts and increased intensification targets to accommodate Pelham’s projected growth.
• Emphasis on natural environmental systems, green spaces and tree protection.
• Integration of art, culture and design considerations to enhance quality of life.
