Southeast False Creek: Official Development Plan (2005)
What is an Official Development Plan?
An Official Development Plan (ODP) is the comprehensive plan and basis for development of an area within the City. The SEFC ODP embraces the vision as set out in the Policy Statement and establishes a foundation for urban design and sustainability principles. The SEFC ODP identifies form and massing to ensure consistency with the vision of the surrounding neighbourhood and to reflect intensive public process around the final built form. It also provides a framework for the creation of policies, zoning and other by-laws, housing programs, public facilities agreements, subdivision plans, servicing agreements, design guidelines, forms of development, development conditions, restrictive covenants, shoreline treatment and configuration, and any other instruments necessary to regulate development.
The Southeast False Creek Official Development Plan By-law and two accompanying Council Reports (Financial Strategy and Sustainability Targets and Indicators) were approved by Vancouver City Council at Public Hearing on March 1, 2005 and enacted on July 19, 2005.

- a Financial Strategy Report
(PDF, 273KB) that considers the involvement of the public lands in the
development, the costs of the public amenity package included in the
ODP, and the sources that might be utilized to fund it; and
- a Sustainability
Targets and Indicators Report (PDF, 618KB) that outlines the sustainability
targets for SEFC included in the ODP and a process for tracking them
over the development period.
Official Development Plan (ODP) Background Material
In 2003, the Official Development Plan process was launched to determine the
configuration of development parcels, parks, rights-of-way, public amenities, overall densities and massing.
Below are the reports that contributed to the creation of the ODP. Each report is broken down into sections for easier viewing.
- May 2003 SEFC ODP Proposal submitted by VIA Architecture on behalf of The City of Vancouver’s Real Estate Services in May 2003.
The proposal provides a vision for sustainability by integrating social, economic and environmental objectives.
- February 2004 SEFC ODP – Proposal Supplement submitted by VIA Architecture on behalf of The City of Vancouver’s Real Estate Services in February 2004. This ODP supplement is intended to be considered in conjunction with the May 2003 preliminary ODP submission. As a result of public consultation and City staff review, considerable exploration of the development massing & density, right of way network and development parcelisation was undertaken. In addition, 5 key themes were identified for further work with respect to enriching site-specific urban design: park integration, water experience, chronicle history, small grain development potential and distinctive urban form.
- October 2004 SEFC ODP – Urban Design Framework submitted by the Southeast False Creek Design Team (Hotson Bakker Boniface Haden Architects, VIA Architecture, Stantec Architecture, and Philips Wuori Long Partnership Landscape Architects Inc.). This submission provides a visual survey of the site, the principles that structure the plan, the design of street and building typologies, the overall strategy for the site plan, the urban systems that form the framework for the plan, 3-D views of the proposed form and massing, solar studies and development data.
