This map utilizes a simplified viewing layer of Taxlots 2 (Public), with any Personally Identifiable Information removed. Popups for parcels provide web links to Vancouver Municipal Code (VMC) statute definitions of the zoning classification of the parcel as well as zoning code and class information.Zoning categories are grouped by City of Vancouver Comprehensive Plan designations, and relate to allowable activities and uses of land and property parcels as defined in the VMC.

This dataset consists of zoning polygons throughout the City and labels describing them.Zoning regulates the development of property in Vancouver by encouraging land use and building in accordance with community goals and visions for the future of Vancouver and its neighbourhoods. The city is divided into many development zones, with each zone further broken down into districts. The Zoning Development Bylaw describes each district and its list of permitted uses and regulations. Some districts are scattered across the city, while others are found only in a single neighbourhood or local area.​ Data currencyThis data in City systems is updated frequently in the normal course of business, however priorities and resources determine how fast a change in reality is reflected in the database. The extract on this website is updated weekly. Data accuracySome of the City's data is created using survey accuracy however some features are not as precise.

This dataset includes the coastal floodplain and Still Creek floodplain within the City of Vancouver. A floodplain is a lowland area that is susceptible to flooding from an adjoining watercourse, ocean, lake or other body of water.

Sea level has increased over the last century and is expected to rise at an accelerated rate over the next century. In 2014, the City of Vancouver (the City) assessed the potential for present and future flooding along the shorelines of Vancouver in response to the Province of British Columbia’s sea level rise planning recommendations to all local governments in British Columbia.

Scenario 1 delineates the potential for coastal flooding under present (year 2013) conditions caused by a current 500-year return period ocean event. A 500-year return period ocean event means that, on average, the event will occur once in 500 years (or a 0.2% AEP event).

 Scenario 3 ​shows the coastal area that could flood in Vancouver due to a major storm (1:500 year storm) in 2100, with 1 metre of sea level rise and 0.6 m of freeboard should no interventions take place.

The Still Creek floodplain shows the areas subject to overland flooding due to the creek overflowing.

 Wave effect zone is defined as a general term describing all aspects of wave interaction with a coastal structure including wave setup, wave run-up and overtopping. The area that is exposed to wave effect are the areas of the coastline where wind-induced waves can significantly raise the coastal water level above stillwater conditions.​  Data accuracy​Original data was in UTM Zone 10N, NA83 (EPSG:26910)Source:

This map shows the location, building materials and footprint of buildings; the original water line where it differs from the 1912 shoreline; some proposed developments; electoral wards; legal land descriptions; lot sizes; street and lane widths; and old street names that had been recently changed. In 1912, Vancouver, Point Grey and South Vancouver were three separate municipalities District Lot 301 and Hastings Townsite had both been annexed by the City of Vancouver in 1911. All three municipalities are included in the map, but Stanley Park was not included. The original paper map includes a third volume which covers New Westminster: this volume is not included in the dataset. Data AccessThe digitized maps are available in ECW and TIFF format. Links to individual tiles are available from the map view. Alternately you can download a single zipped ECW file of the entire mosaic map (1.07 GB). AttributesPlease see page Understanding Goad's fire insurance map. Coordinate systemThe map showing the location of individual tiles is in WGS84. The ECW and TIFF files are projected in UTM Zone 10, NAD83 (CSRS). NoteThis map is in the public domain.Fire insurance maps are created to depict information used to determine fire insurance liability. These maps typically include information on the materials used in a building and, for commercial buildings, the business that operated there if that use affected fire risk. Historical fire insurance maps are used today to aid research into the histories of neighbourhoods and individual properties, particularly the changes in site use over time. This map was created by collecting information from approved Registered Plans filed with the Land Registry Office and on-site surveys. Please note that the street names reflect those of the day; many of the street names in the municipalities of Point Grey and South Vancouver were different before their amalgamation with Vancouver in 1929. Some streets in Point Grey also have current and historical names noted. After Point Grey separated from South Vancouver in 1908, some street names were changed. Data currencyData current as of July 3, 1912. Georectification (a process converting scanned map images to a standard map coordinate system) performed December 2014. Data accuracyThe original map was not intended to be used as one large unit. We have attempted to align the streets with the current street grid where appropriate. The street network in areas undeveloped in 1912 reflects what municipalities might have planned to build, but in some cases did not end up constructing. Of particular note are the University Endowment Lands and south-east Vancouver, where what this map depicts bears no relation to what was actually built when those areas were developed decades later. In the map view, the points represent a centre point in a polygon. Due to georectification (a process converting scanned map images to a standard map coordinate system), user may have to download adjacent section files in order to view the desired location.

As urban forest provides ecological, social, and economic values to the residents, forest inventory can monitor forest health. Based on the land classification map, the campus planning team pays attention to tree health in the public green space of the University of British Columbia (UBC) campus in Vancouver, Canada. Working together, the forest inventory and land classification map are the priorities of urban planning and forest health in UBC. In order to solve the knowledge gap of no current inventory and land classification map on campus, this study aimed to update the UBC tree inventory and land classification map. R algorithms extracted individual trees’ parameters and metrics like tree height and crown area using Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) data 2018 by the City of Vancouver. The author applied random forest classification to determine the tree species (coniferous/deciduous) with the metrics. Four major land cover types were classified by the supervised classification scheme using the UBC orthophoto 2020. The results show that there are 14165 trees (crown diameter more than 4 m) on campus, and the height estimation by the LiDAR method had an overall accuracy of 80% comparing to the field data. The campus’s total vegetation cover was 44% that is higher than the cities in Great Vancouver. The land classification map shows that most of the vegetation cover is on the southern campus. Considering the campus’s topography, coniferous trees on the southwest campus provided potential ecological implications of water retention and preventing soil erosion. The study provided the basis for future studies of trees, vegetation, and UBC Vancouver Campus land planning.
