Cambie Corridor Townhouse Rezonings Approval

Summary

• Rezoned 220 parcels in the Cambie Corridor from RS-1 and RT-1 (single/two-family residential) to RM-8A and RM-8AN (townhouse/rowhouse zones).
• City-initiated process eliminates the need for individual lot-by-lot rezoning applications, saving owners approximately 10–12 months and associated fees.
• Could enable up to 1,600 townhouse and rowhouse units, advancing "missing middle" housing and family ownership targets from the Cambie Corridor Plan and Vancouver Plan.
• Infrastructure analysis determined these 220 lots do not require off-site sewer upgrades; further phases covering 579 remaining lots are subject to future analysis.
• Public feedback included concerns about land speculation, dormant assemblies, inadequate infrastructure, and potential impact to significant trees; one speaker and two written submissions in support.
