I don’t understand the map. If an area is zoned commercial can you build shops on the ground floor with flats above or is that not allowed?

- nikanj 5y agoYes but no: On a zoning level it is allowed, but on an actual lot-by-lot level you'll probably get blocked by complaints https://www.theglobeandmail.com/opinion/editorials/article-apartment-for-rent-not-in-my-vancouver-neighbourhood/ https://www.theglobeandmail.com/opinion/editorials/article-a... In addition, you can't build anything that's so tall it would block people's view of the mountain backdrop ( https://vancouver.ca/home-property-development/protecting-vancouvers-views.aspx https://vancouver.ca/home-property-development/protecting-va... ). Vancouver has it's priorities straight, and it's more important to have scenic views from existing housing, than building new housing
