Burnaby has published their draft proposed zoning changes that would be their approach to a new OCP that responds to the Provincial TOD legislation.

Map here.

Vancouver Market helpfully published the categories of development area on the map.



A new Zoning Bylaw will introduce a “height-based development framework”. In future land use designations are based on height (measured in storeys) as opposed to density and Floor Area Ratio (FAR). There's a bonusing policy that allows a development to potentially move to the height of the next tier up (if there is one) in exchange for an on-site amenity or cash-in-lieu. There will also be policy overlays for Rental Tenure, Streamside Development Permit Areas, Statutory Rights-of-Way, and Special Study Areas.
