After much work by @CityofVancouver staff and the development community, the MultiPlex Report (allowing 4-6 homes on most RS-1 lots, 60% of the buildable land in the City) is public! Staff Recommend Council: •Add multiple dwelling as a permitted use to allow the construction of multiplexes as a new housing option with additional units and density; • Require either a set-rate density bonus payment, a below-market homeownership unit, or secured rental housing for the opportunity to access additional density with a multiplex application; • Extend passive house incentives to the new multiplex option and simplify the existing passive house regulations; •Reduce the maximum size of new single-detached houses; • Increase the maximum size of new laneway houses, and simplify the laneway house regulations; • Reduce the number of zoning regulations that apply to RS residential zones; and • Consolidate the nine RS residential zones by rezoning areas zoned RS-1, RS-1A, RS-1B, RS-2, RS-3, RS-3A, RS-5, RS-6 and RS-7 to a new R1-1 Residential Inclusive zone. council.vancouver.ca/2023072… @Lanefab @The_Clay_Way @BCollective_CH @HavanOfficial @havan_ceo @harshan_r @EastVanBuilder @averrahomes @TomDavidoff @JeffKingPREC @rosskay @fabulavancouver @GoldinYVR
