Updates to Village land use areas

We’ve updated the Village boundaries, now referred to as draft land use areas, based on additional technical work and what we heard during Phase 1 of engagement. The draft land use areas were developed in a few key steps:

  • A retail study identified how much retail space will be needed in the future.

  • Retail expansion areas were mapped for each Village using best practices and considering the unique conditions of each neighbourhood.

  • Using a five-minute walking distance (about 400 metres) from these retail expansion areas, we determined where low-rise residential buildings (3–6 storeys) could go, keeping homes close to shops and services.

  • Finally, we refined these areas based on Phase 1 engagement feedback, on-the-ground conditions, and directions from the Vancouver Plan.

The draft land use areas shown in the map below are not final and will continue to be refined as we gather feedback from the community throughout this next phase of engagement.

We want to hear from you! Learn more about the emerging directions and draft land use areas in detail by reviewing the open house boards and sharing your thoughts on our survey by December 12, 2025.
