Laneway housing approved by City of Vancouver

The City Council of Vancouver has approved the bylaw amendment that will allow the construction of laneway houses! In late July the council struck a decision after a year of public hearings and considerations.

Laneway houses must follow certain stipulations, particularly:

• The building must also accomodate one vehicle
• The building cannot stratify, and must only be used by renters or family members

Light House is working with one of the first laneway projects, which was the last project to be submitted to the 2010 Challenge.
