What BC law allows here
This lot is in a transit-oriented area: BC law lets the city approve buildings up to 8 storeys here.
If this lot were rezoned
| Floor space | Homes | |
|---|---|---|
| Today's zoning (RM-9) from the city's bylaw, FAR 2.00 | 7,965 ft² | about 9 |
| Transit-area rezoning (Bill 47) the city must allow at least 8 storeys, FAR 3.00 | 11,948 ft² | about 14 |
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.
