The Town of Osoyoos is seeking the services of a consultant or team of consultants to undertake a comprehensive review of the Town’s 2007 Official Community Plan (OCP) Bylaw No. 1230.\
Town of Osoyoos Council have identified the review of the current OCP as a priority for 2019 with the goal to have the comprehensive update adopted in 2020. The update of the OCP will incorporate current land use controls to better carry out the Town’s goals of encouraging improved urban design, creating pedestrian friendly neighbourhood environments, and achieving sustainability goals. The review will also result in a more efficient OCP through the application of easier to interpret text and illustrations and the deletion of unnecessary regulation.
Accordingly, we are requesting proposals from consultants with proven experience in master planning, community and stakeholder consultation, zoning regulations, and bylaw preparation to assist the Town of Osoyoos in achieving a new OCP that is technically sound, consistent with the direction of supporting planning documents, and reflective of our community vision. This project will have a significant public consultation component that includes background exploration to self-identify the community and to shape a robust and inclusive direction for future growth for the Town of Osoyoos.
