Metro Vancouver apartment vacancy increase
Metro Vancouver's apartment vacancy rate increase to 2.2 per cent in the spring.

Both trends helped take renters out of the market, according to, Robyn Adamache, CMHC's market analyst for Metro Vancouver.

Richmond River Road rezoning possible
Quadra Coast Carriers got the tentative approval Tuesday from the city of Richmond's planning committee to store commercial vehicles at 16780 River Road. The rezoning application was accepted because the land was used for parking refrigerator trucks carrying agricultural produce.
If approved, the property will be rezoned from AG-1 (agriculture) to a newly created industrial zoned tailor-made for River Road properties. The zoning is meant to be temporary. Should all the other property owners along River Road also apply for rezoning, more intense industrial uses may be permitted in the future.
