Dear Heritage Supporters, The second open house on the Character Home Zoning Review component of the Heritage Action Plan is tomorrow (details below). You can also fill out the on-line survey on the city website (link below). If you do the survey on-line, you will have to refer to the information boards that are posted as PDFs on the website. Please note the implications of your answers to Question #7 (allowing 10,000 square foot new builds) and Question #9, which is also about building new. If you are concerned about neighbourhood demolitions (713 demolition permits issued as of the end of October, 63% to redevelop character homes) participating in this process will be the most important thing you can do. CHARACTER HOME ZONING REVIEW The City of Vancouver is conducting the Character Home Zoning Review to look at options for the retention of heritage and character homes in single-family (RS) zoning districts. Geographic and zoning options are being explored that could result in changes to regulations for both pre-1940 character homes and new home development in older single-family neighbourhoods. This review is part of the Heritage Action Plan.
