Jessica, Central Area Senior Planner for the Downtown Eastside, will provide an update of the Historic Area Height Review process. Marco, Senior Heritage Planner, will talk about the Heritage Building Rehabilitation Program for Gastown, Chinatown, Victory Square and the Hastings Corridor as well as the City's density transfer program. This will include consideration of future incentives for these areas as well as strategies to mange the creation of density and to increase its absorption. Vancouver's Historic Areas, which are listed on Heritage Vancouver's 2009 Top Ten Endangered list, are currently considered to be under threat due to the freeze on the transfer of density, the lack of other significant incentives and the threat of over-height buildings. This is an opportunity to find out what the city is proposing and contribute your ideas on whether the City's policies will continue to threaten "Old Vancouver" or contribute to preserving it well into the future. Opportunities to Get Involved Attend an Open House and fill out the City supplied questionnaire. Bring your written and oral comments on the Historic Area Height Review to Heritage Vancouver's meeting (they will be incorporated into the city's planning process).
