What BC law allows here
Under BC's small-scale multi-unit housing law, the city must allow at least 3 homes on this lot (a multiplex, a house with suites, or a house plus a laneway home).
If this lot were rezoned
| Floor space | Homes | |
|---|---|---|
| Today's zoning (RS1/F) from the city's bylaw, FAR 0.55 | 515 ft² | about 1 |
| Small-scale housing (Bill 44) up to 3 homes, BC law, FAR 0.60 | 562 ft² | up to 3 |
Rough planning numbers: homes assume about 85% sellable floor space and 750 ft² apartments (1,100 ft² for houses and townhouses). Transit-area figures are the minimum a city must allow on a rezoning, not an approval. Confirm with the city.
