Official Development Plan – Massive Negative Changes are coming to Vancouver’s Neighbourhoods

The Vancouver Official Development Plan (ODP) will direct growth and rezoning policy for decades to come. If approved, rezonings in line with the plan will no longer need a public hearing.

The draft plan would bring major changes to neighbourhoods across Vancouver — including Point Grey, Kitsilano, Dunbar, Kerrisdale, and the East Side.

It builds on the Vancouver Plan, the Broadway Plan, and the Jericho Lands ODP, allowing for massive development while reducing opportunities for public input.

The City is proposing even greater height and density than required by provincial legislation, with large increases planned around transit areas.

We say No to expensive, densely-packed high-rises throughout our city.  

We say Yes to low- to medium-rise, affordable, ground-oriented, family-friendly, livable housing at a human scale.
