Southeast False Creek: Olympic Village - Development OverviewIn October 1999 the Southeast False Creek Policy Statement was adopted by Council. This led to the creation of the Official Development Plan (ODP), which was enacted in July 2005. Council approved the rezoning of Sub-Area 2A (the Olympic Village) on October 17, 2006. Millennium was selected to design and construct the Olympic Village for the 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games. The Olympic Village will be converted to residential housing after the Games are finished. The remaining public lands, east and west of the Olympic Village, will be developed post-Games with completion expected by 2018. SEFC will predominantly be residential. However, since the Olympic Village is at the heart of the community it is also the location of most of the community-serving uses. The proposed neighbourhood commercial centre includes the three “anchors” —a full size grocery store (Parcel 9), a drug store (Parcel 10) and a liquor store (Parcel 6)— as well as smaller commercial retail units (CRUs) that will house restaurants, cafés, smaller shops and services, such as banks and medical/dental offices. The centre is located around the plaza (Parcel 12) and the Salt Building (Parcel 7), as called for in the ODP.
Other community-serving land uses in the rezoning site include institutional and recreational uses. The community centre is proposed on Parcel 11 and includes a non-motorized boating facility, a childcare centre and a restaurant. The community centre was relocated from Parcel 4, in the ODP, to Parcel 11, in order to make it a more functional, better designed facility. Parcel 1, on the west side of the site, is the location for a public elementary school, which may also include a childcare centre and/or after-school care. The diagram below provides an artist rendering of the proposed design for the Olympic Village.
