The City of Vancouver passed a motion Thursday allowing for up to 8 units to be constructed on a single lot in lower-density neighbourhoods.
The new zoning changes all for multiplex homes as an option for new builds along with an amendment to allow for character homes to add units to the existing dwelling.
With the motion passed on Thursday, the nine RS residential zones have been combined into a new R1-1 Residential Inclusive zone.FSR or floor space ratio was another a key issue for many speakers at the meeting Thursday night.This number dictates the amount of square feet in size a property is allowed to be built in relation to the size of the whole lot.
Other see the change as beneficial, ensuring more units can be placed on a single lot for multi-family arangements or a mix of short and long term rentals. This slide shows the proposed changes in blue to encourage developers to move towards Multiplex homes in lower density neighbourhoods.ABC Councillor Peter Meiszner says the concept of middle density housing has wide public support after years of consultation but is not a magix bullet to fix the housing crisis.“We did hear that there was about 500 applications in the queue waiting for this decision. So we should see those move forward,” Meiszner told Global News.
