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)

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.
