ODP In-stream Rezoning Consultation
Motion 17 · Council Meeting, March 31, 2026
Summary
- Council directed staff to consult with affected parties on proposed amendments to the Vancouver Official Development Plan (ODP) for a group of in-stream rezoning applications that were submitted before the ODP was enacted.
- These rezoning applications propose building heights or land uses that are inconsistent with their current Generalized Land Use (GLU) designations under the newly adopted Vancouver ODP, meaning ODP amendments would be required if Council approves them.
- All listed projects require consultation with the Vancouver School Board, Conseil scolaire francophone, and the three local First Nations (Musqueam Indian Band, Squamish Nation, and Tsleil-Waututh Nation); select projects also require consultation with Metro Vancouver, TransLink, and the Province.
- The sites affected span several neighbourhoods, including locations on W 41st Ave, E Broadway, Commercial Drive, Kingsway, and downtown Vancouver, with inconsistencies ranging from height exceedances to use conflicts.
- Staff aim to complete this consultation process in time for rezoning decisions targeted for July 2026 and early 2027, with a second consultation report planned for July 2026 covering additional in-stream applications.
- Going forward, new rezoning applications requiring ODP amendments will undergo this consultation concurrently with the rezoning process to avoid processing delays.
