That, in respect of Section 475 of the Local Government Act , requirement for

is located, in the case of a Municipal Official Community Plan;
ii. The Board of any Regional District that is adjacent to the area covered
by the plan;
iii. The Council of any municipality that is adjacent to the area covered by
the plan;
iv. First Nations;

and in that regard it is recommended that the only additional consultation to
be required in respect of this matter beyond the early posting of the proposed
Official Community Plan amendments on the City’s website, together with an
invitation to the public to comment, is the undertaking of a public consultation
process in support of an “Employment Land Use Redesignation Process:
