* The city also needs townhouses and larger apartment buildings,
but those larger projects should be part of a city and neighbourhood planning process

You can still do ‘Single Family’
But…
There are also Multifamily Options
9. dynamiccities.org / lanefab.com Nov. 2019dynamiccities.org / lanefab.com Nov. 2019
The permitting process is simpler for small projects
…and more-thorough for bigger projects

Creating a wide range of ‘missing middle’
housing types…
…similar to the mixed neighbourhoods
in Mt. Pleasant and Kitsilano

Townhouse Density
(but on a small lot)
Apartment Density
(but on a small lot)
More density is allowed for multifamily
Housing.
Less density is allowed for 1-unit
‘Mansions’

‘Sticks’
If a 1-unit home
replaces a quality
character home,
or a home with a
a rental suite, then the
project pays a density
penalty
‘Carrots’
These projects get extra density to provide
‘Community Benefits’
‘Business as Usual’
15. dynamiccities.org / lanefab.com Nov. 2019dynamiccities.org / lanefab.com Nov. 2019
There are two ‘Paths’ for providing
Community Benefit
16. dynamiccities.org / lanefab.com Nov. 2019dynamiccities.org / lanefab.com Nov. 2019
With the ‘Market Path’ a project
will pay $$$ into an affordable
housing fund
17. dynamiccities.org / lanefab.com Nov. 2019dynamiccities.org / lanefab.com Nov. 2019
There is an incentive for climate
friendly market developments that
go beyond code
18. dynamiccities.org / lanefab.com Nov. 2019dynamiccities.org / lanefab.com Nov. 2019
Projects on the ‘Community Benefit
Path’ don’t have to pay any extra $$$
19. dynamiccities.org / lanefab.com Nov. 2019dynamiccities.org / lanefab.com Nov. 2019
A pre-defined CAC for market projects
will limit land lift, and keep land prices
lower for community-benefit projects
and existing owners

Under the current system this type of project has to go through a rezoning process, then
a separate development permit, then a building permit. The process takes years and
adds $$$. >>> A project like this should be as easy to permit as a ‘Mansion’ is today.

• Zoning is the City’s best tool for encouraging
development that is more affordable and climate friendly
• We can update Vancouver’s ‘single family’ zones at the
same time that we work on the Citywide Plan
• Our character-home incentives need to be ‘future proof’
and integrated with new housing options
• We can start right now!
