The Broadway Plan was approved by Council on June 22. The plan will be in effect as of September 1, 2022.
The Broadway Plan is a comprehensive area plan for the area within Vine Street to Clark Drive and 1st Avenue to 16th Avenue.
The 30-year plan focuses on opportunities to integrate new housing, jobs, and amenities around the new Broadway Subway in parts of Kitsilano, Fairview, and Mount Pleasant.
What's happeningZoning changes proposed in some areas of Broadway Plan
We are proposing to rezone some areas within the Broadway Plan to new low-rise and tower district schedules.
These proposed zoning changes will implement Council-approved policy and help streamline the delivery of housing through standardized regulations and a simplified development process.

City Council approves updates to the Broadway Plan
In December 2024, City Council approved updates to the Broadway Plan, a 30-year vision for the neighborhoods surrounding the future Broadway Subway line. These changes aim to address Vancouver’s growing demand for housing, job opportunities, and community amenities.
The Broadway Plan is built for adaptability, allowing adjustments to align with emerging opportunities and challenges. Since its original approval in 2022, updates have been driven by new provincial Transit-Oriented Area (TOA) legislation, insights from early implementation, industry input, and feedback from public consultations.
These updates make sure the Broadway Plan continues to evolve to meet the city's needs.
