Vancouver To Transform Development Process With Standardized Residential Zones

AI Article Summary
The City of Vancouver plans to update its development approval process by introducing standardized zoning district schedules for residential buildings. This initiative aims to streamline the approval process and reduce the reliance on site-specific rezonings, which are often time-consuming. The new zoning districts will cater to various building types like townhouses, mid-rise, and high-rise apartments, offering more flexibility and reducing uncertainty for developers.
