Official Community Plan & Area Plans

The City's Official Community Plan (OCP) is a general guide for land use within Maple Ridge. Area Plans focus on specific areas and their unique context to provide a greater level of detail for land use, density, form, character, and the pacing of development.

Official Community Plan

The Official Community Plan outlines the long-term vision for growth and development in Maple Ridge. The Official Community Plan is a living document and is updated as our City grows. 

Area Plan

An Area Plan can apply to a group of neighbourhoods, a single neighbourhood or entire designated areas. It may guide the development of new communities or the redevelopment of existing ones.

Area Concept Plan

There are also Area Concept Plans that have been endorsed by Council. However, until an Area Plan has been adopted as part of the Official Community Plan, the Concept Plan is used as a guide to direct land use within the area.
