A land Street Area 6, Phase 2 (1976) Park Area 6, Phase 3 (1982) swap between the City and the provincial government Transit Station Area 10A (1976) was formalized in 1969, resulting in increased City Area 10B (1981) ownership of lands on the south shore of False Creek and improving its development potential. Planning for the redevelopment of False Creek South in the early 1970s led to the adoption of the False Creek Official Development Plan in November 1974. The area was built out in five phases between 1975 and 1989, per five Area Development Plans adopted between 1974 and 1982 (see map at right). Between the mid-1970s and 1980s, the City of Vancouver and private landowners redeveloped the lands to create a highly livable neighbourhood that would attract families back to Vancouver’s inner city. The City required that all its land be leased, none of it Dredges, construction materials and the Canadian Northwest Mills on False Creek, 1936 sold, so that it would remain a long-term public asset.

The False Creek Official Development Plan (1974) set targets for household mix, and stated that the age mix and income mix should reflect that of the region (realized with one-third of units in housing co-ops, one-third non-market rental units, and one-third in leasehold strata title units). Some original False Creek South Urban Design principles include: Reference Points: Shape development so that within Neighbourhood Enclaves: Arrange urban land to form a few moments of every point, one has a vista of a many small enclaves of residential use, separated large natural amenity or some other urban reference from one another by swaths of non-residential land point.

Social Mix Objectives
One of the key objectives in the redevelopment of False Creek South was to create a socially mixed community. The False Creek Official Development Plan set targets for household mix, and stated that the age mix and income mix should reflect that of the region. Currently, there are 5,5971 people living in False Creek South with: • A distribution of population 45 years and older at 61 percent compared with Metro Vancouver at 44 percent;
• Household incomes generally reflecting those in Metro Vancouver; and
• A greater proportion of high income households and slightly smaller proportion of low income households than in the city of Vancouver.

Household Mix Targets
The False Creek Official Development Plan (1974) set out targets for household mix in the community. The chart below shows these targets and the actual proportion of population represented by each household metric over time (census data). The Official Development Plan also included a target for Senior Families at 15 percent. However, there is no data to assess the current or historical proportions, as ‘senior families’ is not a metric profiled in the census.

Built Form
False Creek South is comprised mainly of low and mid-rise buildings. Generally, the earlier phases to the east and west of Charleson Park (i.e., Spruce and Heather Neighbourhood) have lower buildings and less density, and later phases further out have taller buildings and greater density. The tallest developments in the area are located on the far western edge of the study area, with Central 1 Credit Union at 37 metres, and Harbour Cove at 35 metres. False Creek South was designed to create neighbourhood enclaves, with residential uses separated from one another by swaths of non- residential land comprised of parks, schools, major pedestrian streets, and commercial uses. Neighbourhoods are shaped to be elliptical with courtyards in the centre, with the length never more than twice the width. These courtyards are important to the identity of the area, and provide pathways for accessing amenities. The design principles of the era theorized by authors such as Jane Jacobs and Christopher Alexander are embedded throughout the neighbourhood, with buildings that provide opportunities for socialization and a sensitive scale. Integration with nature assists in providing opportunities for both residents and non- residents alike to be active and healthy. A mixed-use form of development contributes to the walkability of the area, with retail areas such as Granville Island and Olympic Village within close proximity.

Transportation Network
The transportation network in False Creek South has been built around many of the unique features of the neighbourhood such as False Creek and the former CP right-of-way. Along the waterfront, the Seaside Greenway (Seawall) is a popular route for people walking and cycling and provides strong connections to community amenities and public spaces. Other walking and cycling routes within the neighbourhood help complete the network and provide options for people making recreational and commuter trips. Similarly, local transit like the number 50 and 84 buses provides local service while the Canada Line and 99 B-Line on Broadway provides rapid transit service to other parts of the city and region. Water transportation is one of the unique transportation options available to False Creek South. Private ferries provide service along and across False Creek. The waters are also active with people boating, kayaking, canoeing and more! Given the location of False Creek South, traffic calming has been implemented in many parts of the neighbourhood to maintain vehicle access to residents and deter high volumes of vehicular traffic from travelling through a mainly residential neighbourhood.
