Historical zoning maps available

Posted on March 26, 2015October 7, 2020 by Sue Bigelow

We’ve made a group of zoning maps available online. These are frequently consulted by our researchers, so we’ve made them easily available to everyone.

The maps were published:

  • August 2, 1960
  • March 14, 1963
  • November 1969
  • May 1974
  • October 1976
  • March, 1990
  • March, 1993 (and the explanation of the zoning districts on the back)
  • January, 1998 (and the explanation of the zoning districts on the back)
  • July 10, 2001

Created by the City of Vancouver Planning Department, the maps allow you to see the permitted uses of land over time. These maps are used as a first step for an environmental assessment of a site. They are also useful for those studying the history of urban planning.
