LOCAL BENEFITS. There are many benefits to providing secondary suites. Owners benefit through rental income or by providing housing for an elderly family member or adult child. Tenants benefit through affordable rental housing that is generally ground level and accessible to community amenities. The community benefits through a non-subsidized, low impact solution that utilizes existing homes to increase density while maintaining community character, enabling diversity, and increasing the stock of affordable rental housing.
LOCAL BENEFITS. There are many benefits to providing small lot zoning. Small lot zoning contributes to the densification of urban areas, uses the land and services more efficiently, increases housing choices and adds to the stock of ground level housing which remains accessible to homeowners in their elder years. Small lot zoning allows for a mix of residential housing types in new and existing communities that meet the needs of existing and future residents. By allowing for the intensification of housing in developed areas where infrastructure and facilities already exist and by condensing the area of new residential developments, the municipality reduces unnecessary sprawl into resource and farm lands. • help residents understand the benefits of implementing small lot zoning; • assist the municipality in identifying standards to maintain the quality of the residential environment in existing neighbourhoods, as well as providing aesthetic controls for new developments. • Official Community Plans should recognize small lot zoning either directly or more generally by promoting a variety of housing types. • Zoning Bylaws should outline the standards for construction on small lots. Items to consider are: - density – higher densities should be allowed to allow for adequate livable space on the smaller lots; - permitted uses – single-family in the form of either detached or attached units should be identified to maintain area character; - size – floor area ratios should be increased and limits should be placed on the maximum size of each dwelling. This will ensure that new dwellings are compatible with existing dwellings (larger houses on large lots) in infill areas; - lot coverage – should be increased to allow for design flexibility; - setbacks – front and side yard setbacks should be reduced to allow for design flexibility or one side yard may be able to be reduced to zero; - height – building height should be increased to allow for more design flexibility; - landscaping – should be identified to reduce the cumulative impact of impermeable surfaces on area drainage; and - building provisions – some bylaws restrict side wall windows to increase privacy in denser neighbourhoods. The staggering of front setbacks is also an option to promote privacy and add variety to the streetscape. Level Housing Series
