June 25, 2024: Single-family and duplex lots gained SSMUH capacity

· City of Port Moody Zoning Bylaw, 2018, No. 2937, Amendment Bylaw No. 94, 2024, No. 3460

In June 2024, Council approved Bylaw 3460 to add Bill 44 small-scale multi-unit housing rules. It set maximum unit counts for single-family and duplex lots, based on lot area and frequent transit, without requiring a rezoning for eligible properties.

Port Moody says properties in RS zones and certain RT, RM and comprehensive development zones may qualify. Transit-oriented areas and other statutory exclusions change eligibility, so use the City’s parcel map and current bylaw together.
