The potential changes would allow four to six homes on any residential lot
City planners in Vancouver are proposing significant zoning changes that would allow four to six homes on any residential lot as they continue to search for solutions to the housing crisis.
on each lot in order to ensure units could be a livable size. That would mean significantly more floor space permitted on the average 33-by-122-foot city lot: 1,200 square feet more than the current 2,800 for regular homes and duplexes, and 600 square feet more than the current 3,400 maximum for character homes with infill.
The plan would eliminate special zones created on the west side in the 1990s as residents unhappy about a wave of modern homes asked the city to have more control over new house design. Every part of the city except mansion-heavy Shaughnessy, which has a special designation, would have the same design regulations and process rules for all new housing.Allowing more building on the city’s non-apartment-zoned residential lots will inevitably mean more trees cut down, for example.
