    Thank you for your interest in this rezoning application. The City of Vancouver’s typical time period for the online Q&A period for a standard rezoning application is two weeks. Given the size and complexity of this proposal, staff have provided a three week time period, running from Oct 9-29.  An in-person community information session was also held on October 16, to give the public an opportunity to ask both the staff and applicant teams questions, face-to-face. In addition, the public are welcome to share their feedback through the online comment form on ShapeYourCity, which will be available for a several months, and they may also choose to email their comments to langaragardens@vancouver.ca at any time.
