How it works

A zoning search has two parts. The map identifies the district attached to a parcel. The written regulations explain what that district means for a proposed use, building size or location on the lot. Each district has its own regulations. For example, RS1 specifies permitted uses, minimum site area and minimum width.

Steps

Start the parcel search with West Vancouver Property Information. Search for the civic address, select the actual parcel and copy the complete zone code, including any suffix. For a parcel crossed by a zone line, identify where the proposed work would sit.
Open the matching district or zone section. Read the permitted uses and the relevant dimensions together with definitions and any rules that apply across zones.

Good to know

Contact District Planning at 604-925-7055. For an active application, contact its assigned planner.
Save the address, zone code and relevant section with your sketch. Give those details to planning when asking about an amendment, a site-specific provision or a boundary that is hard to read.
