The City of Vancouver is exploring ways to support existing and new corner stores, and other small-scale shops and services in residential areas.

Vancouver used to have lots of shops and services sprinkled throughout its neighbourhoods. At their peak, in the 1920s, there were approximately 260 active corner stores. However, when the first zoning bylaw was introduced, these stores were seen as less desirable, and planning regulations made them hard to build. The number of stores has been declining ever since.

Over the last few decades, there has been a renewed interest in supporting corner stores. Some small changes to zoning regulations have been made, but there is the opportunity to do more.

More recently, in 2022, Council approved the Vancouver Plan – a long-range strategy to guide growth and change in the city. One of the core objectives of the Plan is the creation of more complete neighbourhoods, where people have easy access to daily and weekly needs. Corner stores could play a role in helping to achieve that goal.

Our fall 2023 survey is now closed; however our digital mapping feature will remain open for a few more days. If you've got a story to share about a favourite corner store, click on the "Map" tab below and follow the instructions.

For more on the corner store project, read our background materials under Related Documents (English only).

Your feedback will be used to inform future policy and regulatory changes expected to take place in 2024. Results from this engagement process will be available later this year.

    Background

    The City of Vancouver is considering ways to support existing and new corner stores, and other small-scale shops and services in residential areas. This is part of a broader, Council approved strategy to create more complete neighbourhoods, where people have easy access to daily and weekly needs.

    This survey invites you to share your thoughts on the types of commercial and other activities that you might like to see in these spaces, along with details about corner store buildings (height, location, etc.), and nearby public space. Feedback will be used to inform future policy and regulatory changes to support these neighbourhood businesses, expected to take place in 2024.

    The survey will take approximately 10-15 minutes to complete. It closes on Tuesday Oct. 10, 2023.  

    This survey is NOT about:

    • It does not cover stores and services found on larger commercially zoned retail streets (e.g., Commercial Drive, West 4th, Kingsway, Punjabi Market).
    • It does not concern home-based businesses, such as a home-office, or other activities conducted out of a home.

    Background

    Isinasaalang-alang ng Lungsod ng Vancouver ang mga paraan para suportahan ang umiiral at mga bagong tindahan sa kanto, at mga ibang maliliit na tindahan at serbisyo sa mga residensiyal na lugar. Ito ay bahagi ng isang mas malawak na istratehiya na inaprubahan ng Konseho upang lumikha ng mas kumpletong mga kapitbahayan, kung saan ang mga tao ay may madaling access sa araw-araw at lingguhang mga pangangailangan.

    Iniimbitahan ka ng survey na ito na ibahagi ang iyong mga saloobin sa mga uri ng komersyal at iba pang aktibidad na maaaring gusto mong makita sa mga espasyong ito, kasama ang mga detalye tungkol sa mga gusali ng tindahan sa kanto (taas, lokasyon, atbp.), at kalapit na pampublikong espasyo. Ang pagpuna ay gagamitin para abisuhan ang patakaran sa hinaharap at mga pangregulatoryong pagbabago para suportahan ang mga negosyong ito sa kapitbahayan, na inaasahang maganap sa 2024.

    Ang survey ay aabutin ng tinatayang 10-15 minuto para makumpleto. Magsasara ito sa Oktubre 10, 2023.

    Ang survey na ito ay HINDI tungkol sa:

    • Hindi nito masasaklawan ang mga tindahan at serbisyong mahahanap sa mas malalaking nasa komersiyal na sona ng mga kalye na may tingian (hal., Commercial Drive, West 4th, Kingsway, Punjabi Market).
    • Hindi nito isinasaalang-alang ang mga negosyong nasa bahay, tulad ng home-office, o mga ibang aktibidad na isinasagawa sa labas ng tahanan.

    ਪਿਛੋਕੜ

    ਵੈਨਕੂਵਰ ਸਿਟੀ ਰਿਹਾਇਸ਼ੀ ਖੇਤਰਾਂ ਵਿੱਚ ਮੌਜੂਦਾ ਅਤੇ ਨਵੇਂ ਕੋਰਨਰ ਸਟੋਰਾਂ, ਅਤੇ ਹੋਰ ਛੋਟੇ-ਪੈਮਾਨੇ ਦੀਆਂ ਦੁਕਾਨਾਂ ਅਤੇ ਸੇਵਾਵਾਂ ਨੂੰ ਸਮਰਥਨ ਦੇਣ ਦੇ ਤਰੀਕਿਆਂ 'ਤੇ ਵਿਚਾਰ ਕਰ ਰਿਹਾ ਹੈ। ਇਹ ਵਧੇਰੇ ਸੰਪੂਰਨ ਇਲਾਕੇ ਬਣਾਉਣ ਲਈ ਇੱਕ ਵਿਆਪਕ, ਕਾਉਂਸਿਲ ਦੁਆਰਾ ਪ੍ਰਵਾਨਿਤ ਰਣਨੀਤੀ ਦਾ ਹਿੱਸਾ ਹੈ, ਜਿੱਥੇ ਲੋਕਾਂ ਕੋਲ ਰੋਜ਼ਾਨਾ ਅਤੇ ਹਫ਼ਤਾਵਾਰੀ ਲੋੜਾਂ ਤੱਕ ਆਸਾਨ ਪਹੁੰਚ ਹੋਵੇ।

    ਇਹ ਸਰਵੇਖਣ ਤੁਹਾਨੂੰ ਕੋਰਨਰ ਸਟੋਰ ਦੀਆਂ ਇਮਾਰਤਾਂ (ਉਚਾਈ, ਸਥਾਨ, ਆਦਿ), ਅਤੇ ਨੇੜਲੇ ਜਨਤਕ ਸਥਾਨਾਂ ਬਾਰੇ ਵੇਰਵਿਆਂ ਦੇ ਨਾਲ, ਵਪਾਰਕ ਅਤੇ ਹੋਰ ਗਤੀਵਿਧੀਆਂ ਦੀਆਂ ਕਿਸਮਾਂ ਬਾਰੇ ਆਪਣੇ ਵਿਚਾਰ ਸਾਂਝੇ ਕਰਨ ਲਈ ਸੱਦਾ ਦਿੰਦਾ ਹੈ ਜੋ ਤੁਸੀਂ ਇਹਨਾਂ ਥਾਵਾਂ 'ਤੇ ਦੇਖਣਾ ਪਸੰਦ ਕਰ ਸਕਦੇ ਹੋ। ਫੀਡਬੈਕ ਨੂੰ ਇਹਨਾਂ ਨੇੜਲੇ ਕਾਰੋਬਾਰਾਂ ਦਾ ਸਮਰਥਨ ਕਰਨ ਲਈ ਭਵਿੱਖ ਦੀ ਨੀਤੀ ਅਤੇ ਰੈਗੂਲੇਟਰੀ ਤਬਦੀਲੀਆਂ ਨੂੰ ਸੂਚਿਤ ਕਰਨ ਲਈ ਵਰਤਿਆ ਜਾਵੇਗਾ, ਜੋ ਕਿ 2024 ਵਿੱਚ ਹੋਣ ਦੀ ਉਮੀਦ ਹੈ।

    ਇਸ ਸਰਵੇਖਣ ਨੂੰ ਪੂਰਾ ਹੋਣ ਵਿੱਚ ਲਗਭਗ 10-15 ਮਿੰਟ ਲੱਗਣਗੇ। ਇਹ 10 ਅਕਤੂਬਰ, 2023 ਨੂੰ ਬੰਦ ਹੋਵੇਗਾ।

     

    ਇਹ ਸਰਵੇਖਣ ਇਸ ਬਾਰੇ ਨਹੀਂ ਹੈ:

    • ਇਹ ਵੱਡੀਆਂ ਵਪਾਰਕ ਤੌਰ 'ਤੇ ਜ਼ੋਨਬੱਧ ਰਿਟੇਲ ਸਟ੍ਰੀਟਾਂ (ਜਿਵੇਂ ਕਿ ਕਮਰਸ਼ੀਅਲ ਡ੍ਰਾਈਵ, ਵੈਸਟ 4th, ਕਿੰਗਸਵੇ, ਪੰਜਾਬੀ ਮਾਰਕੀਟ) 'ਤੇ ਪਾਏ ਜਾਣ ਵਾਲੇ ਸਟੋਰਾਂ ਅਤੇ ਸੇਵਾਵਾਂ ਨੂੰ ਕਵਰ ਨਹੀਂ ਕਰਦਾ ਹੈ।
    • ਇਹ ਘਰ-ਆਧਾਰਿਤ ਕਾਰੋਬਾਰਾਂ, ਜਿਵੇਂ ਕਿ ਹੋਮ-ਆਫ਼ਿਸ, ਜਾਂ ਘਰੋਂ ਕੀਤੀਆਂ ਜਾਣ ਵਾਲੀਆਂ ਹੋਰ ਗਤੀਵਿਧੀਆਂ ਨਾਲ ਸੰਬੰਧਿਤ ਨਹੀਂ ਹੈ।

    La ciudad de Vancouver está explorando formas de apoyar a las tiendas de barrio nuevas y existentes, así como a otros pequeños comercios y servicios en las zonas residenciales.

Los comentarios se utilizarán para informar sobre futuros cambios en las políticas y normativas de apoyo a estos negocios de barrio, previstos para 2024.

    Completar la encuesta le llevará aproximadamente entre 10 y 15 minutos. Se cierra el 10 de octubre de 2023.


    Esta encuesta NO abarca lo siguiente:

    • No abarca las tiendas y servicios que se encuentran en las grandes calles comerciales (p. ej., Commercial Drive, West 4th, Kingsway, Punjabi Market).
    • No tiene que ver con los negocios caseros, como una oficina en casa, u otras actividades que se realicen fuera de una vivienda.
