The Community Profile highlights key aspects of the Cambie Corridor and its residents. This background information is intended to help inform discussions about the various planning issues that will be addressed through the Corridor planning process.
Data Sources Data for the Cambie Corridor Profile is primarily from two sources. Property information is obtained from BC Assessment 2008 dataset (BCAA), and demographics information from Statistics Canada 2011 Census and 2011 National Household Survey. Additional sources are listed throughout the document. Due to data limitations, the planning study area may differ from the data area.

Cambie Corridor
The Cambie Corridor is located in central south Vancouver and is approximately 1,000 hectares (2,471 acres), 8.6% of Vancouver’s total land area. The Corridor study area extends 6.0 kilometres from West 16th Avenue in the north to the Fraser River in the south. It is bordered by Oak Street to the west and Ontario Street to the east, a 10 minute walk (800 m) from the Canada Line stations. The Canada Line, which opened in 2009, is a $2 billion investment in regional transit that runs the entire length of the Cambie Corridor and connects Vancouver with the City of Richmond and Vancouver International Airport. The Corridor has 4 out of the 9 Canada Line stops located within the City of Vancouver: King Edward, Oakridge-41st Avenue, Langara-49th Avenue, and Marine Drive stations. Two potential station sites are identified for West 33rd and West 57th Avenues. Travel on the SkyTrain from Marine Drive to Waterfront station takes about 17 minutes.

Figure 1.3: Highlights of the Corridor’s History
1.3 History Cambie Corridor has been important throughout Vancouver’s history. The Little Mountain Park quarry provided stone for the roads built at the turn of the 20th Century. Cambie Street has always been viewed as a significant part of the overall transportation network. The area is home to many heritage and landscape environments that are considered treasures by the residents of Vancouver. The introduction of the Canada Line has reinforced the importance of the Corridor as a key link between Downtown Vancouver and the Vancouver International Airport/ Richmond.

1.4 Cambie Corridor Planning
Mount Pleasant
In order to provide key deliverables at distinct milestones in the process, the Cambie Corridor planning program was separated into three phases:
Heather Park Edith Cavell
Douglas Park
• Phase 1: Corridor Planning Principles and Interim Rezoning Policy (2010) to allow for redevelopment of key sites near stations. • Phase 2: Overall vision for the Cambie Corridor, identifying specific land use changes and policies for ‘core area’ properties fronting Cambie Street and adjacent arterials (2011).

The Marpole Community Plan was completed in 2014. It included the portion of the transitinfluenced area located south of West 57th Avenue. There are a number of Major Project and large sites within the Corridor which may have independent policy, rezoning or redevelopment planning programs.

Data Source The Cambie Corridor profile uses Statistics Canada Census (2006, 2011) and National Household Survey (2011) data. The study area is shown in Figure 2.1. Due to data limitations, the Census data area slightly differs from the Phase 3 study area boundary. The Census data study area is divided into sub-sets for North, Central and South regions, as shown in Figure 2.1. The east and west boundaries are different for the Phase 2 and Phase 3 datasets, and therefore there may be some inconsistencies when comparing Phase 2 and Phase 3 data.

Population Density by Census Block The population density by block provides more detail than the population density by local area. The block data shows the distribution of population in the Corridor, with most of the higher density blocks (>50 people per hectare) located in the northern and southern sections of the Corridor. Many blocks in the central portion of the Corridor have fairly low densities of 30 people per hectare or less.

3.1 Dwellings Types of Dwellings
The Cambie Corridor has 16,450 occupied dwelling units, which is 6% of the total occupied dwelling units in Vancouver. Over 1/2 of the occupied dwelling units in the Corridor are in single-family dwellings (including suites) and 1/3 are in low-rise apartment buildings. Dwelling units in the Corridor tend to be larger than in the city as a whole, with a significantly higher proportion of four or more bedroom units.
Over 1/2 of the occupied dwelling units in the Corridor are located in single-family dwellings (with or without a suite), compared to just over 1/3 in the city as a whole. The north and central sections of the Corridor have the highest percentage of units located in single-family dwellings with or without a suite (56% and 57%), compared to less than half (47%) in the south.

3.4 Laneway Housing
Mount Pleasant
In July 2009, Council approved changes to the Zoning and Development By-law to permit the construction of laneway houses in the RS-1 and RS-5 zones. Laneway houses are small houses in the back of the lot, with access to the lane. They cannot be stratified, and are therefore rental housing. In 2013, Council approved the expansion of laneway houses to the remaining RS zones. Citywide:

3.5 Secondary Suites
Mount Pleasant
Secondary suites are self-contained dwelling units that have been created within a larger principal dwelling (i.e. in most cases within a single-family house). Secondary suites must have their own kitchen and bathroom. Since 2004, secondary suites have been permitted in single-family dwellings in all RS, RT, and RM zones. Many suites were created without permits, and it is therefore difficult to get an accurate understanding of the total number of secondary suites. However, BCAA assessment data gives a good indication of the minimum number of suites. Approximately 42% of all single-family dwellings in Vancouver, or 32,000 had a secondary suite in 2013. In Cambie Corridor, approximately 1,600 houses, or 28% of all single-family dwellings, had suites in 2013. The highest concentration of secondary suites (48% of all single-family dwellings) is in Cambie Village. In this area, secondary suites were permitted through zoning prior to the citywide approval of suites in 2004.

Community Facilities
The Corridor includes three City-owned community centres and two private recreation centres (YMCA, Jewish Community Centre). Two more community centres are located close to the Corridor and also serve Cambie area residents. The study area falls within the catchment of six existing libraries and five fire halls. Future community facilities in the Cambie Corridor include a 70,000 square foot civic centre at Oakridge, consisting of a community centre, a library, a seniors centre and a childcare facility. In addition, the City is exploring partnership opportunities with the YMCA at its new Pearson Dogwood location to further serve some of the recreational needs of the community.
Community Centres Three City-owned community centres are located within the Cambie Corridor and two other facilities are located within 1.5 km of the boundary. Figure 6.1: Community centres serving the Corridor Community Centre

6.3 Emergency Services Capacity/ Renewal/ Expansion
Fire Halls
Many of the Vancouver School Board (VSB) schools in the Corridor are currently near or beyond capacity for student enrolment. The provision of schools is a provincial responsibility, and the timing of funding approval is therefore at the discretion of the Ministry of Education.
The Corridor is in the response area of five fire halls. There is no fire hall located within the boundary of the Cambie Corridor, however, four halls are located within 1 km of the study area and one additional hall located within 1.5 km.
The most recent renewal was J.W. Sexsmith Elementary at 7455 Ontario Street, where a replacement school with a student capacity of 390 students (Kindergarten to grade 7) was built in 2013.
Figure 6.9: Fire halls serving the Corridor

6.4 Utilities - Sewer Network
Mount Pleasant
Traditionally, sewers were designed as combined systems, where sanitary sewage and stormwater flow through the same pipe. To protect water bodies from overflow of sanitary sewage, in the early 1970s the City began to separate the sewer system into two systems: one for stormwater, and one for sanitary sewage. Under the provincially-mandated Liquid Waste Management Plan, all combined sewers must be separated by 2050. The majority of the sewer network in the Corridor consists of combined sanitary and stormwater sewers mains. The systems have been separated in a large portion of Cambie Village and areas south of SW Marine Drive. Source: City of Vancouver - Data, October 2014.

There are 17 neighbourhood and city serving parks and open spaces within the Corridor. The parks and open spaces provide a variety of amenities including playgrounds, tennis courts, washrooms, spray park, dog parks, and a stadium. The sites range in size from 0.5 hectares (1.3 acres) to 53 hectares (131 acres). Of the 150 hectares (371 acres) of park space, 115 hectares (285 acres) is considered city serving and 35 hectares (87 acres) neighbourhood serving. City serving parks and open spaces are considered destinations for residents from across the city and include Queen Elizabeth Park, Hillcrest Park (with the community centre and pool), Nat Bailey Stadium and surrounding lands, and Langara Golf Course.

Heritage Register
Mount Pleasant
City Council adopted the Vancouver Heritage Inventory in 1986 and the Vancouver Heritage Register in 1994. The Vancouver Heritage Register is a listing of buildings and structures, streetscapes, landscape resources (parks and landscapes, trees, monuments, public works) and archaeological sites that have architectural or historical value (Vancouver Heritage Register, 2013). The Vancouver Heritage Register categorizes heritage sites into three main groups: Group A (Primary) includes sites that represent the best examples of a style or type of building, Group B (Significant) includes sites that represent good examples of a style or type of building, and Group C (Contextual or Character) includes sites that contribute to the historic character of an area.

Heritage Register - Evaluation Groups The Heritage Register classifies identified sites and resources into three “Evaluation Groups” which include: “A” (Primary): The site represents the best examples of a style or type of building. It may be associated with a person or event of significance, or early pattern of development. “B” (Significant): The site represents a good example of a particular style or type, either individually or collectively. It may have some documented historical or cultural significance in a neighbourhood. “C” (Contextual or character): The site represents a building that contributes to the historic character of an area or streetscape, usually found in groupings of more than one building, but may also be of individual importance.
Additional classifications indicating legal protection and other formal recognition are also provided for each listing. Listed sites can include one or more of the following: “M” or “P”: Indicates buildings or sites that are protected by a legal heritage designation by the City of Vancouver (M) or the Province of British Columbia (P). “H”: Indicates a building or site that is subject of a Heritage Revitalization Agreement (HRA). “HC”: Indicates the building (or some portion) is protected by a Heritage Conservation Covenant. “I”: Indicates specific interior features are protected. “L”: Indicates certain landscape features are protected.

8.2 Cambie Heritage Boulevard
Mount Pleasant
The Cambie Heritage Boulevard is a central median that runs along Cambie Street from King Edward Avenue to SW Marine Drive. The boulevard has been planted with approximately 450 trees. Cambie Street, together with its iconic boulevard, was envisioned as a “pleasure drive” in Bartholomew’s 1928 Plan for the City of Vancouver. Construction of the boulevard started in the 1930s and went as far as West 33rd Avenue. The remaining portions of the boulevard were constructed after 1949 (West 33rd to West 49th Avenues), with the final length completed after 1958. Planting of the boulevard south of Queen Elizabeth Park did not start until the 1960s.

Transportation 2040 Plan (2012)
10.1 Mode of Transportation
Transportation 2040 (2012) is a long-term strategic plan for the city that will help guide transportation and land use decisions, as well as public investments for the years ahead. The plan sets long-term targets in ten goal areas and identifies wide-ranging strategies to make Vancouver the greenest city. By 2040, the City aims for 2/3 of all trips within Vancouver to be made by sustainable modes (walking, cycling or transit) and are striving for zero transportationrelated fatalities.
Most people who live in the Cambie Corridor drive to work (52% in the Corridor, compared to 48% citywide). About 1/3 of residents in the Corridor take transit to work, which is consistent with the transit ridership of Vancouver residents as a whole. [Fewer Corridor residents walk or cycle to work than in the city as a whole (12% vs. 17%)]. Between 2006 and 2011, the share of residents taking transit to work increased in the city and the Cambie Corridor. The greatest increase was in the southern section of the Corridor.

10.4 Truck Routes
Mount Pleasant
Truck routes are part of the region’s Major Road Network and are important for the movement of goods throughout the city and region. The City will continue to provide a robust grid of truck routes that supports reliability, efficiency, and the distribution of truck traffic across multiple streets (Transportation 2040, 2012) Vehicles or a combination of vehicles with a Gross Vehicle Weight (GVW) greater than 10,000 kg (22,046 lbs) must use the truck routes and truck areas to get to and from their destinations. The Cambie Corridor has a number of designated truck routes and a truck area. The north-south routes include Cambie and Oak Streets which connect Vancouver to Richmond and south of the Fraser River. The east-west routes include West 41st Avenue, SW Marine Drive and West 70th Avenue. The South Vancouver Industrial Area is a designated truck area.

10.5 Parking Permit Areas
Mount Pleasant
Parking permit areas ensure that residents have parking priority on the streets in their neighbourhoods. The City of Vancouver has three types of residential permit parking zones:
Heather Park
Douglas Park
• Resident Permit Parking (RPP), a permit that allows residents to park on multiple blocks in their neighbourhood. Residents purchase permits and parking is enforced through regular patrols. • Vancouver Resident Permit Parking (VRPP), a permit that is block specific, i.e. only residents of a particular block can park on that block. Residents also have to purchase the permits and the regulation is enforced through regular patrols.
Grimmett Park
Braemar Park
BC Women's/ BC Children's Hospital

• Resident Parking Only (RPO), a program that was cancelled in 2010 but still exists in some neighbourhoods, where zones are reserved for residents only. Enforcement is on a complaint basis only.

11.1 Neighbourhood Energy
Mount Pleasant
The Vancouver Neighbourhood Energy Strategy (2012) identifies the potential to achieve 11% of the City’s building related GHG reductions by establishing Neighbourhood Energy Systems (NES) in areas of high density growth. The Cambie Corridor was identified as one of three key target areas for the development of new NES. In line with the Neighbourhood Energy Strategy (2012) NES requirements are integrated into the policy statements and plans for projects in the Cambie Corridor. This includes significant development sites such as BC Women’s and BC Children’s Hospital, Little Mountain, Oakridge Centre, Pearson Dogwood, as well as other smaller developments within the Cambie Corridor. The Marpole Community Plan (2014) also establishes NES conditions for redevelopment areas adjacent to Cambie Street. New developments are generally required to have space heating and domestic hot water systems that can connect to an NES once it is in place. As well, existing legacy infrastructure like the steam line between BC Women’s and BC Children’s and Vancouver General Hospital are being re-assessed for their potential ability to contribute to the reduction of Corridor-wide GHG emissions.
