City of Vancouver ODP

[logan5]

This plan renders the DTES Plan pretty much null and void. For example, the Oppenheimer District is now considered a "Rapid Transit Area". The density and height are increased very substantially. Same with the rest of the DTES - Chinatown, Hastings Corridor, etc.

There's also implications for Grandview/Woodlands.

This plan also creates quite a large uplift on Vancouver's Secured Rental Policy, which allows for new rental apartments, up to six stories, along major arterial routes and in adjacent parallel streets.

A lot of the same streets that are covered in that plan will be eligible for mid rise towers up 12 stories, under "Neighborhood Centre's" in the Vancouver ODP. Obviously, that would make rental projects along arterials such as Main, Fraser, Victoria Drive, a lot more viable for development.

A lot to absorb.
