FAQ
What is CD-1 zoning in Vancouver?
CD-1 (Comprehensive Development) is site-specific zoning created through rezoning. The exact rules are defined in the CD-1 schedule/bylaw for that area, so always verify using the City’s official documents.
What’s the difference between RS and RT zoning?
RS districts are generally intended for single-family residential forms (with variations by subtype). RT districts often support two-family/duplex and certain infill forms. Exact permissions depend on the specific sub-district and overlays.
How do I confirm the exact rules (FSR/height/setbacks)?
Use the official zoning bylaw and district schedules for your site, and check for overlays (heritage, view cones, flood requirements, DP areas). This page provides links to official sources for verification.
