In 1989, Vancouver City Council adopted 27 view cones to protect views to the North Shore mountains, the Downtown skyline and surrounding water bodies. Any development occurring within these cones may be further restricted in height beyond what is specified in the Zoning and Development Bylaw or Official Development Plans.

This site maps and lists the Council approved view cones. Area development plans and Council-adopted guidelines also include view protection measures which may further affect permissible height. Applicants should consult all the regulations and guidelines applicable to each site that could influence maximum building height.
