Province-wide changes are coming
The BC provincial government has enacted legislation that will have significant impacts on housing development province wide:
Bill 44: Small-Scale Multi-unit Housing (SSMUH),
Bill 46: Development Financing
Bill 47: Transit Oriented Areas
MUNICIPALITIES HAVE UNTIL JUNE 2024 TO IMPLEMENT CHANGES.

Vancouver Multiplexes
More housing options are a reality in the City of Vancouver, with more to come…
The new residential Inclusive zone (R1-1) took effect on October 17, 2023, replacing all previous RS zones. The new R1-1 zone permits the option for multiplex development on qualified lots. Multiplexes are buildings with up to 6 units (or 8 units for secured market rental).

As well, more changes are underway in the City of Vancouver to respond to provincial legislation (Bills 44, 46, and 47) for Small-Scale Multi-unit Housing (SSMUH), Development Financing, and Transit Oriented Area developments.
