In an unprecedented move, the British Columbia government has introduced transformative housing legislation poised to reshape the province’s housing landscape. Premier David Eby announced initiatives to dismantle outdated zoning rules, paving the way for an influx of small-scale, multi-unit housing options such as townhomes, triplexes, and laneway homes1.
Understanding the Housing Crunch For too long, potential homeowners and renters have faced a rigid housing market dominated by high-rise condos and single-family homes, both often financially out of reach. The existing zoning laws have not only limited the diversity of available housing but have also prolonged the approval processes for new developments2.
Legislative Leverage for Housing Diversity The proposed legislation is a beacon of hope. It mandates the inclusion of secondary suites or laneway homes across communities and insists on a minimum number of three to six units on lots previously zoned for single or duplex family use. This bold step is anticipated to contribute to more than 130,000 new small-scale multi-unit homes over the next decade2.
