On June 25, 2024, Port Coquitlam adopted Bill 44 amendments for the RS1 to RS4 zones. They changed the RS districts to small-scale residential zones and established housing options based on lot size and proximity to frequent transit.
Eligible lots may allow 3 or 4 units, with up to 6 near a prescribed bus stop. Separate exclusions and development permit requirements still apply, and the City notes that some transit-oriented area parcels are excluded from SSMUH.
