Community Profile 2014 - Updated
Grandview-Woodland Plan
Grandview-Woodland Community Profile 2012
Introduction
Grandview-Woodland is an eclectic,
vibrant, and diverse neighbourhood
located on the east side of Vancouver.
The Grandview-Woodland
Community Profile highlights
key issues and aspects of the
neighbourhood and its residents that
contribute to its unique character.
This background information also
helps inform discussions regarding
the various planning issues that will
be addressed through the community
planning process.
Data used in this Profile are from
Statistics Canada, which conducts
a census study every 5 years.
From the most recent 2011 census,
Statistics Canada has only released
its population count. More detailed
information, such as population per
age category, language, household
size, and household income will
be released later in 2012 and 2013.
Periodic updates to the profile will be
made as these data are received.
A note on the statistics in this
document
The Grandview-Woodland Local
Area is bounded by Clark, Broadway,
Nanaimo and the Burrard Inlet. The
majority of figures contained in
this Local Area profile are based on
the demographic characteristics of
the population found within these
boundaries.
In order to allow for more complete
planning attention to be given to
the Broadway and Commercial
area, as well as Nanaimo Street, the
Grandview-Woodland Community
Plan study area encompasses a
slightly larger geography than that
of the Local Area. The study area
boundaries extend one block east (to
Kamloops), and three blocks south
(to 12th Avenue). Where figures are
available for the expanded study area,
they are included and noted as such.

Zoning (2014)
City of Vancouver
Page 5
Grandview-Woodland Community Profile 2014
Zoning Descriptions
One-Family Dwelling Districts
RS-1
This zone permits single family residential
development, but also to permit some onefamily dwellings with secondary suites and
laneway houses. This zone is also the de
facto zoning used for the City’s parks.
RS-7
This zone is meant to maintain the single
family residential character on typical
smaller lots and in some instances twofamily plus dwellings on larger lots.
Two-Family Dwelling Districts
RT-4
This zone encourages the retention of
existing residential structures and to
encourage and maintain a family emphasis.
Focus is on external design of buildings and
neighbourly scale and placement.
RT-5
This zone encourages the retention of
existing residential structures. Focus is on
external design, compatibility with historical
character, and neighbourly scale and
placement.
Multiple Dwelling Districts
RM-3A
This zone allows for medium density
residential development, including low-rise
apartment buildings, and to secure a higher
quality of parking, open space and daylight.
RM-4
This zone allows for medium density
residential development, including a
variety of multiple dwelling types. The
retention of existing buildings and good
design is encouraged in order to achieve
community and social objectives.
Commercial Districts
C-2C1
The intent of this zone is to provide for a wide
range of goods and services, to maintain
commercial activities and personal services
that serve the larger neighbourhood.
C-2C
The intent of this zone is to provide for a wide
range of goods and services, to maintain
commercial activities and personal services
that require central locations to serve larger
neighbourhoods. It aims to encourage
pedestrian oriented district shopping areas
by increasing the residential component and
limiting the amount of office use.
C-3A
The intent of this zone is to provide a wide
range of goods and services, to maintain
commercial activities, and some light
manufacturing enterprises, while maintaining
the character of the area.
Light Industrial Districts
I-2
This zone is for light industrial uses (e.g.
manufacturing, offices, retail, services,
transportation and storage, etc.) that are
generally compatible with one another or
with adjoining residential or commercial
areas. Advanced technology industry, with
significant research and development activity,
and commercial uses are also permitted if
they complement this light industrial district.
Industrial Districts
MC-1/MC-2
This zone allows for mixed use developments
that have residential, commercial, and light
industrial uses that are compatible with one
another and with nearby residential areas.
Emphasis is placed on building design that
furthers compatibility among uses, adds to
area character, and enhances the pedestrian
realm.
M-2
This zone permits industrial and other
uses that provide important employment
opportunities but that are generally
incompatible or potentially dangerous or
environmentally incompatible with residential
areas.

Commercial Zones and Business Improvement Areas
There are two main commercial areas in Grandview-Woodland: along Commercial
Drive and Hastings Street. Other small retail pockets are located on Victoria Drive,
Nanaimo Street, and where Powell becomes Dundas Street.
There are three Business Improvement Areas (BIAs) which lie within the GrandviewWoodland Community Plan area: Commercial Drive, Hastings North, and Strathcona,
with the former two being the main BIAs.
Commercial Drive BIA:
The Commercial Drive BIA runs 21 city blocks, between Venables Street and E 13th
Avenue. The BIA comprises approximately 470 businesses with over 3,600 daytime
employees. The BIA catchment is primarily zoned for commercial uses. This zoning
promotes a wide range of goods and services, and pedestrian shopping areas, as well
as some residential components and office use. This is reflected in the BIA’s business
mix, which is primarily retail oriented.
Hastings North BIA:
The Hastings North BIA encompasses 23 city blocks between Commercial Drive and
Renfrew Street. Note that only the western half of the BIA (west of Nanaimo Street)
is within the Grandview-Woodland Community Plan area.
The entire BIA contains approximately 315 commercial businesses, 190 industrial
businesses and over 4,800 employees.
The Hastings North BIA has three primary types of zoning in its catchment:
commercial, light industrial, and heavy manufacturing.
Strathcona BIA:
The Strathcona BIA represents over 850 commercial and industrial property owners.
Note that only a handful of these properties, along Clark Drive between Venables
and Powell, are within the Grandview-Woodland Community Plan area. The
properties within Grandview-Woodland are primarily a mix of light industrial uses,
such as automobile repair shops, graphic design companies, and food production.

Age and Quality of Buildings
in the Commercial Drive BIA
Year Built
The majority of commercial buildings in
the Commercial Drive BIA (51%) were
constructed pre-1946. Only 4% of Commercial Drive commercial buildings were
constructed post-1991. However, many of
the Drive’s buildings were renovated in
North America’s post-war years (between
1946 and 1970), such that only 31% remain
in pre-1946 condition.

Note that the MC-1 and
MC-2 industrial zones on
Hastings Street, between
Clark and Victoria, were
classified as ‘let-go’ in the
mid-1990s. This means that
they are potential sites for
other types of use. Today
this area is in transition
as new uses, including
some new residential
development, build out
over time.

Port Lands
In general, the Port falls under federal jurisdiction (Transport Canada) and will remain
largely outside of the scope of the Community Plan. However, portions of the northeast
corner of Grandview-Woodland (from Victoria Drive eastward and as far south, in parts,
as Franklin Street) are part of the East Vancouver Portlands Plan (2007). This plan was
developed by the City, Port Vancouver and the Burrardview Community Association to
resolve long-standing land use conflicts between the Port and the adjacent residential area.
The Grandview-Woodland Community Plan will support the objectives of the Portlands
Plan.

Grandview-Woodland Capacity Estimates
The residential development capacity of a neighbourhood, or how much new housing
could be constructed in the area, can be estimated in two ways – by looking at development capacity or zoned capacity. Both models are based on zoning as it currently
exists, and do not account for any anticipated policy changes.
Development Capacity Model
(estimate to 2041)
This is the City’s standard approach for
estimating growth. The model is a supplybased approach that forecasts to 2041. It
is based on actual rates of development
and takes into account constraints in
identifying redevelopment sites (e.g. Rate
of Change Policy for Rental Housing). It
also reflects existing City land use policy in
addition to current zoning.
City of Vancouver
Zoned Capacity Calculation
The zoned capacity calculation is in
response to the February 2012 Council
motion requesting these estimates. This
model is a supply-based approach that has
no time constraints. It ignores existing City
land-use policy (as well as urban design
considerations and ownership and stratatitle constraints) and is simply a “build-out
calculation” that assumes the maximum
residential floor space could be built on
each site based on existing zoning.

Comments:
There are 16 parks in

from 0.11 to 1.93 hectares.
There is no access to the
waterfront because of the
CP rail lines and industrial
uses along Burrard Inlet.
Grandview-Woodland
has 0.4 hectares of park
and open space per 1,000
residents (compared to 1.1
hectares/1,000 residents
city-wide). In GrandviewWoodland, 87% of residents live within a 5 minute walk of a park, open
space or greenway (City
average is 92%). Most of

Comments:
A City goal is that all
residents should be within
a 5-minute walk of a park
or greenspace. While
Grandview-Woodland is
generally well-served with
parks, there are still gaps
that can be addressed.
In addition to parks, school
yards also provide valuable
greenspace that can be
accessed by the
community.

The topography of
Vancouver has been, in
part, carved by the
multitude of streams and
waterways that once
existed. Over time, many
of these streams were
diverted underground and
lost.

TRANSPORTATION GLOSSARY
Mode Share - Refers to the proportion of trips made by a specified mode of
transportation - for example, walking, cycling, transit or driving. Frequently used to
describe the percentage of people who use private automobiles, as opposed to the
percentage who walk, ride a bicycle or use public transportation
Arterial Street - A major thoroughfare, used primarily for through traffic rather than
for access to adjacent land, that is characterized by high vehicular capacity and
continuity of movement..
Local Street – Those streets whose primary function is to provide access to residential
properties. Local streets carry the lowest volumes of traffic.
All Ages and Abilities (AAA) Bike Route – A bike route or greenway that feels
comfortable for all riders, including those who may be apprehensive or are new to
cycling. Vehicle volumes and speeds affect the design of an AAA bike route, and help
to determine whether a route needs design considerations such as separation or
traffic calming.
Separated Bikeways –People who are cycling are separated from motor vehicles by a
physical barrier.
Local Street Bikeways –People who are cycling share the roadway with motor vehicles
on relatively quiet neighbourhood streets.
Painted Bike Lanes –A painted bike lane typically located between a parking lane and
a moving vehicle lane, or between a sidewalk and a moving vehicle lane.
Complete Streets - A Street that is designed with all road users in mind, including
people of all ages and abilities who are walking or riding a bicycle, public
transportation and motor vehicles.
Parking Regulations:
Vancouver Resident Permit Parking (VRPP) zones - Requested through a
petition process and allow parking on a single block with purchase of a permit.
Resident Permit Parking (RPP) zones - Allow you to park on multiple blocks in
your neighbourhood when you purchase a permit and can be requested
through a petition process.
Resident Parking Only (RPO) zones - The RPO program was cancelled in
January, 2010. Existing RPO zones have been grandfathered into the residential
parking system The RPO zones allow you to park on your block without a
permit and are enforced on a complaint basis only.
Rush Hour Parking Restrictions - Stopping restrictions during morning and/or
afternoon rush hours to maintain traffic flow
