Development of Heritage Neighborhoods (Granville, Yaletown, Chinatown, etc.)

[fredinno]

Now that Vancouver is taking a look again at the maximum density and heights for Granville Entertainment District and Chinatown, I think we should move the discussion for those to a new thread.

I've also decided to make a poll to ask what heritage sites should be opened for development, since the debate seems to be dividing people here.

Note that façade preservation may be allowed for heritage site redevelopment.


These areas are:
- West End 'Villages' (Robson Village, Denman Village, Davie Village)
(not officially heritage, but treated similarly)
- Gastown
- Chinatown
- DTES/Japantown/Strathcona (development is allowed in the DTES 'core' corridor, but not in the fringe areas.)
- Yaletown Historic District
- False Creek South (not a historic district, but there's a push to preserve it)
- Granville Entertainment District
- Shaughnessy (lol)
