Zoning amendments to allow for up to four dwelling units per property (Z-24-05)
We are exploring changes to the Zoning Bylaw that would allow up to four dwelling units on residential properties (properties zoned for low density residential development). Visit this project page to provide input, ask a question, check public meeting dates, learn more about the types of additional residential units you might see in your neighbourhood.
The proposed changes build on previous amendments to the Zoning Bylaw that permitted three residential units per property in alignment with the Province’s “Bill 23, More Homes Built Faster Act, 2022”.
The proposed amendments to the Zoning Bylaw include:
allowing up to four dwelling units on residential lots;
increasing the maximum permitted building height from 10 metres (3 storeys) to 13 metres (4 storeys) on lots zoned for low-rise residential uses;
reducing vehicular parking requirements for lots with three and four dwelling units;
amending regulations for Coach Houses to facilitate more housing; and
consolidating and amending definitions of residential uses to simplify the Zoning Bylaw.
You can provide feedback to the planning department, and it will be shared with the council, or ask a question to learn more about this application.
