In Fall 2018 we launched the Regulation Redesign project to create a more user-friendly and up-to-date Zoning and Development By-law. It is a project to simplify the City of Vancouver's land use regulations, policies and online tools to support the streamlining of permit processing. This webpage provides a one-stop location where you can learn about the project progress, share your input and stay up to date on engagement opportunities.
