Broadway Plan

We are proposing to rezone some areas within the Broadway Plan to new low-rise and tower district schedules.

These proposed zoning changes will implement Council-approved policy and help streamline the delivery of housing through standardized regulations and a simplified development process.

Learn more about the proposed zoning changes and submit your questions during the virtual question and answer period from March 4 to 18.

On December 12, Council approved updates to the Broadway Plan (read the Council Report). Council also adopted the Broadway Public Realm and Streetscape Plan, and the Civic District Plan, marking an important step in adding essential housing, job space and amenities that will meet the needs of today's residents and future generations.

The Broadway Plan is built for adaptability, allowing adjustments to align with emerging opportunities and challenges. Since its original approval in 2022, updates have been driven by new provincial Transit-Oriented Area (TOA) legislation, insights from early implementation, industry input, and feedback from public consultations.

These updates make sure the Broadway Plan continues to evolve to meet the city's needs.

Since the Broadway Plan was approved in 2022, work has been underway to add new housing, job space and amenities that integrate with the Broadway Subway and meet our city’s needs. Between June and July 2024, we engaged with the community on three implementation projects: Broadway Plan Review, Broadway Public Realm Plan and City Hall Campus.

We are writing to let you know that we are bringing a report to Council for consideration on December 11, 2024, which provides a general update on Plan implementation and recommendations related to these three projects. The Council meeting agenda, along with the Broadway Plan review and implementation report, will be posted on the City’s website closer to the meeting date.

In June 2024, the City launched public engagement on the Broadway Plan Review, Broadway Public Realm Plan and City Hall Campus. We’ve gathered feedback on these three projects through our Shape Your City project page, survey and a number of public events. Read the public engagement summaries (linked below) to learn about what we heard.

Next Steps:
Over the coming months, the City will be finalizing work on these three projects. A report will be going to Council with recommendations for Council consideration in November 2024.

As part of implementation of the Broadway Plan, the City is proposing some zoning amendments in specific areas. Some of the key proposed zoning amendments include:

• Amendments to modernize industrial zoning across the Plan area and to enable more employment space to be built in the Mount Pleasant Industrial Area (I-1 zone) and the Burrard Slopes Mixed Employment Area (IC-1 and IC-2 zones).
• Amendments to commercial zones (C-2, C-2B, C-2C, and C-2C1) to enable 6-storey mixed-use developments that provide secured rental housing.

Full details on the entire proposal can be found in the referral report to Council (May 9, 2023).

On May 9^th, 2023 City Council referred these zoning changes to a public hearing. A public hearing is scheduled for June 15, 2023.

Following Council’s adoption of the Broadway Plan in June last year, implementation of the Plan is underway. There is still a lot of work to do to meet the objectives of the Plan over the next 30 years.

As part of Broadway Plan implementation, City staff are bringing a report to Council on March 29 that will provide a general update on implementation progress to date, as well as several policy recommendations to address Council directions. Some of the key items that will be in the report include:

• A report back on a “pace of change” approach to manage redevelopment impacts on existing renters
• Amendments to the View Protection Guidelines (1989) to enable more job space and housing near rapid transit by clarifying the guidelines for protected public views to City Hall
• Minor amendments to the False Creek Flats Plan (2017) to align with the Broadway Plan
• A Fixed Development Contribution Framework to provide more clarity on public benefit contributions from new developments
• An update on proposals for zoning amendments in industrial areas and commercial shopping areas to help streamline new development
• Report back on active transportation lanes along Broadway

The Council meeting agenda, along with the Broadway Plan implementation report, is posted on the City’s website.

On June 22, 2022, Council approved the Broadway Plan, which introduced enhanced tenant protections for renters in the Broadway Plan area, in addition to the existing City-wide Tenant Relocation and Protection Policy (TRPP).
