Under the updated zoning regulations for RT-7 in Vancouver, character retention is not mandatory but remains an incentive-based option. The city encourages retaining pre-1940 houses with character merit through conditional zoning provisions, such as additional floor area or density bonuses. However, new builds, including multiplexes, can proceed without character retention if this option is not pursued. These policies align with broader goals to provide more diverse housing options while preserving historical elements when feasible. For character retention projects, eligibility depends on assessments of architectural and historical merit. If not retained, other forms of housing like new multiplexes are fully permitted under the 1.0 FSR standard, without requiring character-related considerations? (id:39198)
