Community Development
Announcement: New Plan and Code Adopted
Starting July 31, 2026, the Our Vancouver 2026-2045 Comprehensive Plan and updated Zoning Map and Code will go into effect.
Until then, the 2011 Comprehensive Plan and existing zoning map and code continue to be in place.
This is a big milestone for our city, and many community members were involved and provided input that shaped this plan and code – Thank you!
The City’s Community Development Department is responsible for many programs that together help to ensure Vancouver continues to be a great place to live, work and grow.
We provide building and permitting services with land use and engineering review for development projects, code compliance, and comprehensive planning including equity, long range and transportation planning.
