A report on potential strategies, including those used by other B.C. municipalities, will come back to the next city council.
Prince George city council has asked city administration to bring back a report to the new city council, looking at solutions being used in other B.C. communities to address the housing crisis.
At the Union of B.C. Municipalities annual general meeting earlier this month, Ramsay said councillors heard about strategies being uses in communities large and small across B.C. to address the housing crisis. Coquitlam provides incentives to developers to increase housing density and has pre-designed plans available for affordable housing projects.
City director of planning and development Deanna Wasnik said the issue is “top of mind” for city administration, and recommended the report be included in the major review of the city’s official community plan taking place next year.
