Info

Regional Context Today, the District of North Vancouver is one of four municipalities on the North Shore. 1 There are also two First Nations with reserves 2 in the District of North Vancouver. These areas function together as a sub-region of Metro Vancouver. They share key infrastructure (such as roads and utilities) and in some cases partner in the delivery of services (such as recreation and emergency services). These jurisdictions along with the Federal Government, the Province of BC and Metro Vancouver protect and manage the natural assets of the North Shore that contribute immensely to the values that identify this area. The shared waterfront along Burrard Inlet similarly shapes and defines the lifestyle and ecology of the North Shore. The District’s industrial waterfront forms part of Canada’s largest port 3 , is a strategic national asset and provides significant business opportunities and local jobs for residents. With projected growth on the North Shore estimated at approximately 40,000 more people by 2030, the timeframe of this OCP, it is essential that we continue to plan collaboratively with our neighbours. The urban structure contemplated by this OCP establishes a growth management framework to accommodate future growth in the District in a way that integrates with the structure of the broader North Shore sub-region. The designated growth centres of Maplewood, Lower Lynn, and Lower Capilano - Marine provide opportunities to align with Seymour Creek (Squamish First Nation), Lower Lonsdale (City of North Vancouver) and Park Royal/Ambleside (Squamish First Nation and District of West Vancouver) creating opportunities for enhanced transit, active transportation, district energy and the creation of a livable, sustainable urban corridor. Opportunities for collaborative planning will occur in the implementation stage. While the District will continue to work with partner agencies and governments in the provision of recreation, water and utilities, transit and the movement of goods, numerous voices, throughout the Identity DNV 2030 community engagement process, supported the exploration of a fully integrated North Vancouver political and administrative structure. 1 In the context of Metro Vancouver, the North Shore comprises the District of North Vancouver, the City of North Vancouver, the District of West Vancouver and Lions Bay. 2 Tsleil-Waututh Nation and Squamish First Nation. 3 Port lands are under federal jurisdiction and are managed by Port Metro Vancouver. 4 DNV Official Community Plan | Introduction
Beyond the North Shore, the District is also a member municipality of the wider Metro Vancouver region. Our OCP works in concert with the broader regional vision and strategy for managing growth towards a sustainable future. The Livable Region Strategic Plan (1996) is the existing regional growth strategy that is currently under review. Metro Vancouver’s proposed new Regional Growth Strategy has five broad goals that are consistent with the District’s vision and policies for its future: Regional Goal 1: Create a Compact Urban Area Regional Goal 2: Support a Sustainable Economy Regional Goal 3: Protect the Region’s Environment and Respond To Climate Change Impacts Regional Goal 4: Develop Complete Communities Regional Goal 5: Support Sustainable Transportation Choices A more detailed description of how the District’s OCP policies support and relate to the Regional Growth Strategy is provided in Schedule C - Regional Context Statement.
