City’s chief planner asks to focus on development applications that will provide most needed housing, but developers say this would make Vancouver’s
Vancouver’s chief planner says her staff is so overwhelmed by development applications that she is asking city council to allow her to focus on the ones that are most likely to be built first and that provide the most-needed kind of housing.
Ms. O’Donnell said she wants to be able to focus staff resources on key sectors of housing such as market rentals and social housing, as well as projects that appear to have their design work and financing well under way. If her concept is approved, there’d also be priority given to projects that provide job space, that leverage money from the provincial or federal governments, and that “advance climate action through complete communities.
The CEO of Homebuilders Association Vancouver, Ron Rapp, echoed that view: “How do they decide who’s ready? Who is the gatekeeper?” Mr. Stovell and others in the development community said once again, in response to the report, that the city could get housing built a lot faster if the planning department didn’t force almost every project beyond a single-family residence or duplex into a time-consuming rezoning process.
