About Penticton zoning

In Penticton, zoning is set by the City of Penticton Zoning Bylaw No. 2024-22. This page covers 11 of its zones (9 residential and 2 agricultural), each with the unit limits, height, setbacks and permitted uses the bylaw sets for it.

Penticton's R4-L and R4-S zones allow up to 4 units outright, with no floor area ratio and, unlike most Bill 44 cities, no servicing test attached to the count. Checked against BC Transit's actual schedule, no Penticton stop qualifies Penticton for a 6-unit tier. How many units can you build in Penticton?

Small-scale multi-unit housing applies in these Penticton zones: R4-L and R4-S. Check an address for the count on a specific lot.
