Council adopted Bylaw 1238 on July 2, 2024 to implement the Province’s Bill 44 housing rules. The amendment revised the urban housing zones, definitions and development regulations so eligible residential lots could support small-scale multi-unit housing.
The bylaw renamed RU1, RU2 and RU6 as small-scale multi-unit housing zones and added use and site standards. Eligibility still depends on location, servicing, lot size and the zone. Check the current schedule for the property and confirm with the District of Lake Country.
