Testing Shadow Studies on the Summer Solstice in the real world

June 20

Photo taken at 10am on the Summer Solstice in 2024. The photo shows a printout of the shadow study that is part of the original rezoning application at 1665-1685 West 11th Avenue and this was used for the duration of the Q&A consultation (later updated). The page is approximately aligned with the curb across on the street across from the site. The shadow is cast by a lamp post (see other illustrations for comparisons)

It's the summer solstice today (June 20, 2024). There's an opportunity to verify some of the solar studies for rezoning applications and development permit applications by simply going into the field with a camera (and note some shadow studies are dated June 21). For this comparison, we used a printout of the shadow study included with the 22-storey tower rezoning at 1665-1685 West 11th Avenue. By simply taking photos of the direction of shadows cast by other structures in the context, it is possible to make a determination if the predicted direction of the shadows are in line with the real world.

Shadow studies in the City of Vancouver are generally created for rezonings and DP applications for 10am, noon, 2pm and sometimes 4pm on the summer solstice as well as on the spring and fall equinoxes. Certain proposals may include additional times and sometimes will include a shadow study for the winter solstice.
