Amenity Space Requirements

Changes have been proposed to the Zoning Bylaw to include requirements for amenity spaces in multi-unit residential developments. This will ensure that all new apartments and townhouses have access to indoor or outdoor amenity spaces, with the goal of enhancing the livability of residential developments. The standards proposed for the Zoning Bylaw include requirements for outdoor amenity spaces for both private and common use, as well as indoor amenity spaces for common use by all residents. The proposed standards also include an exemption for rental tenure housing whereby the calculation of density (gross floor area) does not include common indoor amenity spaces. This will ensure that those renting an apartment can still access common indoor amenity spaces, without needed reductions in rental units to accommodate such spaces.
