City of Vancouver Considering Major Changes Near Marine & Cambie

The City of Vancouver is considering new guidelines for height and density that would impact approximately 40 properties around Marine and Cambie in South Vancouver that have potential for social housing or commercial/industrial development. The area has been the subject of guidelines under both the Marpole Community Plan and Cambie Corridor Plan; however, more recent decisions by Council have directed staff to review the area for new guidelines. These decisions include: In February 2020, Council directed staff to consider rezoning enquiries and applications for social housing sites around the Marine Drive Station area beyond the heights envisioned in the Marpole Community Plan to address Council’s affordable housing priorities (PDF). In October 2020, Council also supported intensification of job space in key areas, including Marine Landing, through the Employment Lands and Economy Review (ELER) (PDF). Intensive employment sites in Marine Landing that deliver 100% job space projects with a multi-storey light industrial space may be considered for greater heights and/or densities than identified in the Marpole Community Plan and Cambie Corridor Plan
