The City is are exploring changes to allow multiplexes (buildings up to six units on a single lot) in low density neighbourhoods across the city. If approved by Council, multiplex units would be allowed on most residential lots in the Rupert and Renfrew area. Details about the changes can be found by visiting the project’s Shape Your City Webpage. Council will decide whether or not to approve the changes at a Public Hearing starting on September 14th. You can a video to learn about Missing Middle Housing here.

We have updated the Area Profile for the Rupert and Renfrew Station Area Plan, a document which includes a snapshot of the area’s history, who lives and works there, the local amenities, and the existing land use policies. Staff will be using this information to help inform the Draft Plan.

With the support of Infrastructure Canada through the Natural Infrastructure Fund, the city will be adding and enhancing five green rainwater infrastructure (GRI) sites within the Still Creek watershed. They include Cornett Road, Charles Park, Slocan Park, Beaconsfield Park, and Falaise Park. These enhancement projects will integrate the lenses of ecology, water, and community, taking a watershed-based approach to reimagine the role of neighbourhood parks and streets in the health of Still Creek.

We plan to use wetlands, rain gardens, and rainwater tree trenches, to capture, convey, filter, and absorb polluted urban runoff using plants and soils. This will result in cleaner water entering Still Creek, while also helping to reduce localized flooding, improve local biodiversity, mitigate urban heat impacts, and improve access to nature.

In February, City Staff shared an intent to update the study area boundary for the Rupert and Renfrew Station Area Plan. The update was based on two considerations:

• Removing an area in the Southwest due to limited sewer capacity; and
• Expanding the area to the North and South to include areas identified in Vancouver Plan as potential ‘villages’. These villages, centred on 1^st Avenue and 22^nd avenue, were identified based on places with existing local shops and services. Vancouver Plan identified a vision to grow the villages, including more commercial and community uses, as well as more types of housing, to provide more local jobs, access to daily needs, and opportunities for social connection.

The updated boundary of the Rupert and Renfrew Station Area plan is shown below:

We want to hear from you about the future of the Rupert and Renfrew Station Area! There are lots of ways for you share your ideas, both in-person and online. See the activities below and find the ones that work for you:

關於研究地區邊界可能有的變更

於2022年7月獲批的溫哥華計劃為本市的未來發展提供了長期規劃。我們正在考慮變更研究地區的規劃邊界，將被定義為「村落」（villages）的幾個地區包含到溫哥華計劃之中。

溫哥華計劃中的「村落」（villages）是提供本地工作機會、日常需求、地方特色和社會聯繫的較小型商業和社區用途聚集地。這些地區通過多拼屋、城市屋和最高6層的低層公寓，提供新的住屋選擇，將會吸引更多不同年齡、收入和背景的人士進入社區。

在計劃草案階段，將確定 Rupert 和 Renfrew 車站地區規劃的最終研究地區邊界。

Potensiyal na pagbabago sa boundary ng lugar ng pag-aaral

Vancouver Plan, inaprubahan noong Hulyo 2022, ay nagbibigay ng pangmatagalang plano para sa Lungsod. Tinitingnan naming baguhin ang boundary ng plano ng lugar ng pag-aaral para makasama ang ilang mga lugar na natukoy bilang ‘mga village’ sa Vancouver Plan.

Ang ‘mga village’ ng Vancouver Plan ay nakikinita na naka-orient sa paligid ng maliit na koleksiyon ng mga komersiyal at pang komunidad na paggamit na nakakapagbigay ng mga lokal na trabaho, mga pang-araw-araw na pangangailangan, at paglalagay ng lugar sa komunidad at mga panlipunang koneksiyon. Ang mga bagong opsiyon sa pabahay, sa anyo ng mga multiplex, townhome, at mga low-rise na apartment na hanggang 6 na palapag, ay magdadala ng mas maraming tao na magkakaiba ang edad, kita at background sa komunidad.

Sa yugto ng Draft Plan, ang final na mga boundary sa lugar ng pag-aaral para sa Plano ng Lugar ng Rupert at Renfrew Station ay kukumpirmahin.
