City of Vancouver Laneway Housing
Initiative
Laneway Housing (or LWH) has been approved as a pilot project
initiative in the City of Vancouver. The rules for laneway
housing development are complicated, and their approval with the
City of Vancouver is just now being tested in legitimate practice.
In general terms, Laneway Housing takes the form of a standard
garage building that has been "converted" to living quarters.
However, the guidelines for new development encourage more
purpose-built design and development.
The ability to have Laneway Housing on your lot is determined by the
characteristics of your lot and its current zoning.
For more information about this initiative, please contact our
office.
