Isn’t it going to be BC-wide (except for towns below 5,000 people, or where the vacancy rate is above 5%) that every lot will now “as of right” allow for a minimum of 3 dwelling units per lot, growing to 4 when the lot is a certain size, and then up to 6 if the lot is even larger?
To me that’s a big step up (3-6x current density!).
- bardak 3y agoYeah it is almost entirely province wide and pretty much every lot is going to be allowed to have 4 dwellings on it. Only the smallest lots (<280m^2 or <3000sqft) will be limited to 3 dwellings. The 6 dwelling regulations are still to come but I am optimistic they will be pretty permissive. The other thing that I think a lot of people are glossing over is the requirement for the municipalities to plan and rezone for 20 years of growth every 5 years. No more having to apply for rezoning for a project that is in line with what the cities have planned.
