Transit Oriented Development (TOD) Areas introduced by the Province in 2023 enable density within 800 metres of the Citys five SkyTrain stations.
In February 2026, Council adopted an amendment to the Official Community Plan (OCP) update land use designations for properties within the Transit Oriented Development Areas to allow the minimum densities permitted by the Provincial legislation. No changes were made to zoning, meaning that a rezoning application is still required before the new heights and densities enabled by the Province can be built. Additional information can be found on the Provincial Housing Legislation Implementation webpage.
In June 2026, Council supported enabling similar building forms on approximately 100 properties at the edge of the TOD Areas. Providing similar opportunities on these additional properties would help create a smooth transition in density while considering development potential of sites.

(Note that these properties are not yet reflected in the OCP Land use Designation Map linked above). It is anticipated that this change will be adopted by Council in Fall 2026.
