WEST VANCOUVER, B.C. — Councillors in the District of West Vancouver, B.C.
, have narrowly voted in favour of getting onboard with provincial legislation requiring communities to allow multi-unit housing on lots that have previously been zoned for single-family homes.
The B.C. government had set a deadline of June 30 for communities to update their zoning rules in accordance with the legislation passed last fall. West Vancouver Mayor Mark Sager told Monday's council meeting that he had received a letter from Housing Minister Ravi Kahlon saying,"do it, or I'm simply going to do it" when it came to making the zoning changes.
Gambioli said that amounts to just over 380 individual lots, while zoning for all other properties in the district would remain unchanged.
