White Rock council has finally signed off on a revised Official Community Plan for the city after a more than two-year review. Council passed both third reading and final reading for the OCP bylaw. The bylaw essentially limits new building heights in the city to a maximum of 12 storeys in the Town Centre area and a maximum of four storeys in the Town Centre Transition and Lower Town Centre areas, increasing to six storeys where a proposed development offers a significant affordable housing component.
In the plan, maximum density for new development is also confined to the Town Centre area, with West Beach still limited to three-storey buildings.
