Special Plans and Projects - Maillardville Neighbourhood Plan
Project Overview
The City of Coquitlam has initiated an Official Community Plan (OCP) Update for the Maillardville Neighbourhood Plan, the first comprehensive update to this Neighbourhood Plan since it was adopted in 1989. The purpose of this work is to prepare an updated vision for the neighbourhood that will help guide change over the next 20 years.
Where is Maillardville?
The map below shows the boundaries of the Study Area for the Maillardville Neighbourhood Plan Update process.
It is important to note that the boundaries of a Neighbourhood Plan take into account many variables. Neighbourhood plan boundaries are also informed by the need for a reasonable size (not too big; not too small), natural and built environments, public thoroughfares, topography, existing neighbourhood plan boundaries and other such characteristics of an area.
What will the Update Achieve?
The updated Maillardville Neighbourhood Plan will outline a vision for the area that will help guide change over the next 20 years for this important community of Coquitlam. The planning process provides an opportunity for the community to explore and focus on:
- The social well-being of the neighbourhood;
- The creation of a range of housing choices that will be needed now and in the future to address local housing issues such as affordability and choice;
- The provision of more transportation choices. Making transit, walking and cycling easier;
- The continued development of Maillardville into a vibrant, complete neighbourhood that meets the everyday needs of local residents;
- The enhancement of the capability and attractiveness of Maillardville’s employment areas to create more jobs for Coquitlam residents;
- New opportunities to enhance parks and natural spaces.
