About Delta zoning

In Delta, zoning is set by the Delta Zoning Bylaw No. 7600, 2017. This page covers 28 of its zones (25 residential and 3 agricultural), each with the unit limits, height, setbacks and permitted uses the bylaw sets for it.

Delta did not create new small-scale zones. It wrote small-scale multi-unit housing straight into Zoning Bylaw 7600 as an overlay on the zones you already have, behind three gates that decide whether your lot gets 3 units, 4, or 6. How many units can you build in Delta?

Small-scale multi-unit housing applies in these Delta zones: RS1, RS2, RS3, RS4, RS4A, RS5, RS6, RS7, RSC, RD1, RD2, RD3, RD4 and RA20. Check an address for the count on a specific lot.
