Vancouver will be affected by this because three, four, five, and six plexes have greater restrictions in R1-1 zoning. Three and four plexes in Vancouver require 306sqm lots, five plexes require 464sqm lots, and six plexes require a whopping 557sqm lot.

The legislation explicitly mentions that Vancouver as implementing "similar or aligned" zoning, but Vancouver clearly only aligns with the first component and not the second component.

My vague understanding of Vancouver's city charter made is "untouchable" in a sense, to direct zoning intervention.
