About Kelowna zoning

In Kelowna, zoning is set by the City of Kelowna Zoning Bylaw No. 12375. This page covers 14 of its zones (12 residential and 2 agricultural), each with the unit limits, height, setbacks and permitted uses the bylaw sets for it.

Kelowna's RU1, RU2 and RU3 zones allow up to 4 units. Unlike most Bill 44 cities, an unconfirmed servicing check does not cap your lot here: only a confirmed absence of a sewer connection does. How many units can you build in Kelowna?

Small-scale multi-unit housing applies in these Kelowna zones: RU1, RU2 and RU3. Check an address for the count on a specific lot.
