Anmore South Community Engagement

The Anmore South lands are owned by icona Properties Ltd., (the Applicant) and the current application to amend Anmore's Official Community Plan (OCP) and develop a Neighbourhood Plan for the area represents a significant change to Anmore's future growth and development. Formerly known as the Imperial Oil Company (IOCO) lands, Anmore South encompasses 151 acres in the southern part of Anmore.

The OCP Amendment Application was submitted on May 5, 2023 and it reflects a mixed-use community at Anmore South phased over a 25-year period, including retained forest and natural areas, an interconnected parks and trail network, commercial businesses, community facilities and a diversity of housing. The application includes 3,100- 3,500 homes with a projected population of 5,100 to 6,700 residents.
