It looks like this could change soon with the city allowing “metroplexs” everywhere in city limits[1]. It’s not law yet, but the city has been doing a lot of upzoning, so we’ll see.
It's definitely, definitely not going to happen soon.
The Vancouver Plan needs to be approved, then an Official Development Plan, then neighbourhood plans, then actual rezonings. Expect 10+ years, if it happens at all; Vancouver has a very poor record with these sorts of city-wide plans. From a 1992 article I found in the archives a while back:
"no city council has ever accepted any of the half-dozen attempts at developing a city plan"
