A two-family dwelling (duplex) is permitted in the RD-1 and
RD-1A zones.
An application to rezone will be considered under the following
OCP policies:
| 5.1.2 |
Housing |
| |
- Evaluate zoning applications for two-family dwellings on the basis of neighbourhood context and lot size, building scale and design, access, and parking.
- Two family dwelling lots should be 1.3 times the minimum area of the largest adjacent single family dwelling zone. However, where a local area plan policy supports a zone with a minimum lot size that is smaller than the existing subdivision minimum, then the local area plan policy shall apply for the purpose of calculating the minimum area for a two-family dwelling lot.
- Well designed duplexes on corner and double fronting lots will be given favourable consideration.
|
Rezoning applications must be accompanied with a Development
Permit application and applicable fees,
a site plan, floor plans, elevations, and landscape plan,
application forms and a plan submissions checksheet.
Prior to rezoning, all duplex sites are included in a Development
Permit Area and subject to the Development Permit Guidelines
in the Official Community Plan. The approved plans will
form part of the development permit and any changes will require
Municipal approval.
Prior to submitting an application, the applicant should:
- consult with the Land Development Division of the Engineering
Department about servicing requirements, and
- consult with neighbours about possible concerns in order
that they can be addressed prior to consideration by Council.
