The City of Burnaby has gained a new gentle densification housing typology for its single-family neighbourhoods.
Like its neighbour of Vancouver, laneway houses and secondary suites within semi-detached houses are now permitted in Burnaby, with the municipal government’s application intake starting on September 18, 2023.
“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 Burnaby mayor Mike Hurley in a statement.
