Living in Chilliwack Downtown

Planning, zoning and flood

Planning and flood notes for Chilliwack Downtown

Plans, zoning and flood rules can be different for each lot.

  • The Downtown Neighbourhood Plan was adopted by Chilliwack City Council in June 2010.
  • It was updated in 2025 as part of the 2050 Official Community Plan and is now Schedule B3 (Downtown Neighbourhood Plan) of Official Community Plan Bylaw 2025, No. 5500.
  • The 2050 OCP also lists a D-6 Downtown Development Permit Area and Schedule C, the Mountain View Heritage Conservation Area, which covers part of downtown.
  • ALR: the downtown plan area is urban land, and the plan does not identify ALR land inside it. City-wide, most of the land in Chilliwack is in the Agricultural Land Reserve.
  • Flood: the plan says Chilliwack Proper is subject to the flood risk of the Fraser River, and that the dyke system is built to a 1-in-200-year flood standard that protects the downtown plan area.
  • A flood proofing bylaw is in effect downtown. Habitable rooms, such as bedrooms and kitchens, must be above the flood construction level. Only uses such as laundry, recreation and garage are allowed below it.
  • The City’s Fraser River Flood Protection page describes its dyke system and flood response stages, which are keyed to the Mission gauge. At higher stages, areas outside the City’s dyking system flood.

My Chilliwack zoning guide covers agricultural and rural zones only. For a home on a city lot, send me the address and I’ll look up the zone.

Before you buy in Chilliwack Downtown

  1. Check the flood construction level. Downtown has a flood proofing bylaw. Ask the City what it means for the exact lot, especially for any basement or ground-floor bedroom.
  2. Check what the plan allows nearby. Ask the City what the Downtown Neighbourhood Plan and the Downtown Development Permit Area allow on the lots around the home.
  3. Ask about heritage rules. If the home is in the Mountain View Heritage Conservation Area, ask the City what that means before you renovate.
  4. Confirm the school catchment. Use SD33 for the exact address.
  5. For a strata home, read the documents. The depreciation report, meeting minutes, bylaws and fees, plus any special levies.
  6. Get a full home inspection. Check the roof, drainage, furnace, plumbing and wiring, because many older homes downtown are over 30 years old.

FAQ

Chilliwack Downtown questions

Where is Chilliwack Downtown?

Chilliwack Downtown is an MLS® sub-area name. The City doesn’t publish a boundary for it. The closest official description is the Downtown Neighbourhood Plan area, which is 586 acres (net of roadways) and centred on Five Corners. The plan describes the original town site of Chilliwack as lying between the Fraser River to the north and the Vedder River to the south. These edges are not an official boundary, so ask me if a specific address is in it.

How do I get around from downtown?

Downtown Chilliwack is the hub and terminus for the Chilliwack bus system, and BC Transit’s schedules page carries a map of the downtown stops. Route 57 Broadway runs between Downtown Chilliwack and Cottonwood Mall. Route 71 Agassiz-Harrison uses Downtown Chilliwack as its terminus. The full route list is on the BC Transit Chilliwack page.

Which schools are downtown?

The Downtown Neighbourhood Plan names three schools inside the plan area: Central Elementary Community School (kindergarten to grade 5, 9435 Young Rd), Chilliwack Middle School (grades 6 to 8, 46354 Yale Rd) and Chilliwack Secondary School (grades 9 to 12, 46363 Yale Rd).

What plan covers Chilliwack Downtown?

The Downtown Neighbourhood Plan, adopted by Council in June 2010, covers it. The plan was updated in 2025 as part of the 2050 Official Community Plan and is now Schedule B3 of Official Community Plan Bylaw 2025, No. 5500. The 2050 OCP also lists a D-6 Downtown Development Permit Area.

Is downtown in a floodplain?

The Downtown Neighbourhood Plan says Chilliwack Proper is subject to the flood risk of the Fraser River. The dyke system is built to a 1-in-200-year flood standard that protects the downtown plan area. A flood proofing bylaw is in effect downtown: habitable rooms such as bedrooms and kitchens must be above the flood construction level. Ask me or the City about a specific lot. See the City flood protection page.

Is any of downtown in the ALR, and what are the lots like?

The downtown plan area is urban land, and the plan does not identify ALR land inside it. ALR status is set parcel by parcel, so check the exact address on the Agricultural Land Commission map. Lot size (MLS sales data, not an official source): the median lot size of detached houses sold between July 1 and October 8, 2026 was 8,329 sq ft, based on 2 sales with a recorded lot size. That is only 2 sales.
