The City of Burnaby is hosting an information session for builders and homeowners interested in the newly-allowed denser housing options now permitted on residential lots. This session will cover the engineering requirements to obtain a building permit for these larger new housing options, including designing and building public works like sidewalks, curbs and letdowns and adding street trees.
If you’re a home builder or homeowner investigating building a new project with 4+ primary dwelling units on a residentially-zoned lot in Burnaby, you’re invited to a virtual event with our staff which will brief attendees on the requirements for these new housing forms, and how to successfully build your Engineering pre-application for a new project.
When: Thursday September 26, 5 pm via Microsoft Teams
What: Learn about how our upcoming bylaw changes will change the procedure and the requirements for projects of of 4+ primary dwelling units in residentially-zoned areas, and what you’ll need to know and implement to obtain your permit approval.

About Small-Scale Multi-Unit Housing
Provincial housing legislation passed in June 2024 permitted building up to 6 dwelling units on Burnaby’s residentially zoned lots. In response, Burnaby is updating our bylaws to help ensure the coming density does not compromise Burnaby’s neighbourhoods as safe and accessible places to live. These bylaw updates will require larger projects (of 4 or more primary dwelling units) to be responsible for many of the same requirements a similarly sized multifamily development would, including safe and accessible lane and boulevard infrastructure.
