Council-in-brief

Revised Recommendation - R1 SSMUH District Zoning Bylaw Amendments
Councillor Dhaliwal - Motion: R1 SSMUH District Zoning Bylaw Amendments
City Council directed staff to bring forward a series of amendments to the R1 Zoning Bylaw to reduce the height and size of provincially mandated small-scale multi-unit housing (SSMUH) projects, aiming to protect neighbourhood character and livability. Councillor Dhaliwal’s motion adjusts the previous amendments approved by Council on October 14. City Council further directed staff to advance these amendments to a future Public Hearing, pending bylaw reading at an upcoming Council meeting in November. The City of Burnaby updated its zoning bylaw in 2024 to comply with provincial legislation requiring municipalities to allow up to 4 units on most lots zoned for single- and two-family housing.
