About Port Moody zoning
In Port Moody, zoning is set by the City of Port Moody Zoning Bylaw, 2018, No. 2937. This page covers 23 of its zones (all residential), each with the unit limits, height, setbacks and permitted uses the bylaw sets for it.
Port Moody counts units from a City map rather than from the zone alone. Most single detached lots reach 4, lots near a prescribed bus stop reach 6, and lots inside a Transit-Oriented Area are held to their ordinary zone count. How many units can you build in Port Moody?
Small-scale multi-unit housing applies in these Port Moody zones: RS1, RS1-S, RS2, RS3, RS5, RS6, RS7, RS8, RS9 and RT. Check an address for the count on a specific lot.
