The City of Burnaby will begin accepting applications for laneway homes Sept. 18.
Laneways in Burnaby can soon be home to lane houses after city council voted to allow laneway housing in residential areas across the city.
"This is a significant step forward for our efforts to add housing to Burnaby, while also preserving the local character that the people living in our single-family neighbourhoods love about where they live," said Mayor Mike Hurley in the release.Council also approved secondary suites in semi-detached homes , in which two secondary suites can be built in side-by-side homes, one in each unit.
Burnaby laneway home regulations state the homes can be up to two storeys tall and between 350 sq. ft. and 1,507 sq. ft. . The next phase of the city's Housing Choices program will include properties that don’t have lanes, among other housing configurations like triplexes, fourplexes and cottage courts, according to the presentation.
