Community Greenhouse Gas Emissions Reduction PlanThe District of Kitimat with consultants from Community Energy Association (CEA), is in the process of developing a Community Greenhouse Gas Emissions Reduction Plan. The District is proposing reducing its community greenhouse gas emissions to net-zero by 2050. It is important to note that large industry is not included in this planning, as it is dealt with at a provincial level. Please refer to the video link below for a detailed overview of this plan.

Kitimat Townsite Report | ||||||||||||||||
The 1952 Kitimat Townsite Report is a nine-book set of plans and policies that describes how to build and operate a “civically independent new town”. Clarence S. Stein and his co-authors cover everything from administration to zoning. Detailed plans for future development of Kitimat's townsite and industrial area make this report an invaluable document for Kitimat's past, present and future. The report's Executive Summary is a must read for anyone interested in local history. A full set of the 1952 Master Plan is available for viewing at Kitimat Museum and Archives. The report includes maps of the recommended townsite design. Most of the neighbourhoods, greenbelt areas, commercial and industrial centres we know in Kitimat today were laid out in the original plan. The Canadian Institute of Planners (CIP) honours one community plan each year that has made a significant contribution to national planning heritage. In 2013, the enduring quality of Kitimat's original master plan was recognized with CIP's Vision in Planning Award. |

Official Community Plan (OCP) | ||||||||||||||||
An OCP is a broad statement of community objectives, goals, and policies with a special emphasis on land use and development. The OCP is also one of the three key documents (budget, five year capital plan and OCP) which guide all Council decisions. Each Council may aslo prepare a strategic plan with a time horizon of one to four years. Kitimat's 2008 OCP was developed through a collaborative process that included stakeholders, local businesses, community groups, and over 200 residents. |

South West Kitimat Area Plan | ||||||||||||||||
Project area extends south from Eurocan Road and west of Douglas Channel to the municipal boundary. Area is comprised of rugged terrain with several significant watercourses, Jesse Lake with spectacular falls into Douglas Channel, and many points of interest. Access is limited via forest service roads and marine vessels. Land is mostly provincial Crown land with an active forest license. This plan process will gather community input that will be compiled with baseline information to create a local area plan. Local area plans are extensions of the Official Community Plan (OCP) and apply to specific areas or issues within the municipality. Contents may extend existing goals, objectives, and policies from the OCP that apply to the area. There may be opportunity to develop new policies that are area specific, but may be applicable District-wide and brought into the OCP. This area plan will become a pillar of future OCP updates.
