Accessory Residential Uses

Accessory residential uses have been reviewed as part of the Zoning Bylaw Update with the goal of providing more flexibility for homeowners while attempting to improve the diversity of housing types in White Rock. The City has completed a “key issues” summary document for accessory residential uses, which covers the following topics: home occupation, secondary suites, coach houses, bed & breakfasts, and short term rentals. Please review this document, attached to the right under “Documents”, for background information on the topics, key themes and reasons for amendments, and draft changes to bylaw definitions and zone provisions (rules).
