What could be built here
- Lot size
- 1,599 m²
- Today (R2)
- A house with a secondary suite, plus a coach house where the District allows one
- Under BC’s multiplex rules
- At least 4 units, or 6 if within 400 m of a frequent bus stop
- Status in the District
- Not adopted yet
BC’s multiplex rules (Bill 25) set a minimum of 3 units on lots up to 280 m², 4 on larger lots, and 6 on lots within 400 m of a frequent bus stop. Lots over 4,050 m² and protected heritage lots are exempt. District of North Vancouver council voted against adopting these rules on April 13, 2026, and as of October 2026 they are not in the District’s zoning, so do not count on extra units yet. Setbacks, height and floor area limits still decide what fits, so check with the District planning department first. Ask Tom for a builder’s check of this lot.

- Elevation
- About 57 m above sea level
- Ground type
- Glaciofluvial sediments
- Earthquake site class
- C (very dense soil)
- Snow load for building design
- 2.8 kPa
Soft ground shakes more in an earthquake, so builders design for the site class. Elevation is read from the District’s 20 m contour lines.
