The Council-approved False Creek South Provisional Vision Statement and Guiding Planning Principles ("Vision and Principles") are intended to set the foundation for the long-term planning of False Creek South.
The Vision and Principles are an outcome of an extensive ten month consultation process with residents, surrounding communities, and the broader public.
Long-term comprehensive planning for False Creek South will occur at an appropriate time, when greater clarity is reached on lease negotiations for City land in the community.

Our Neighbourhood Planning team worked with local residents and the broader public to define a community-wide vision and planning principles to guide an overall vision for the future of the neighbourhood.
Our Housing Policy team developed a provisional resident protection and retention plan to:
- Ensure that residents on land leased from the City of Vancouver have affordable housing options that provide support and protection if there are issues with redevelopment, renewing leases, or ending leases in the coming decades
- Address a variety of possibilities in False Creek South and provide a clear, lasting safety net for local residents
- Build on existing City policies for protecting market renters during redevelopment and create new policies to cover all types of tenures on City-owned land in False Creek South
