Under the new Vancouver Plan recently approved on July 22, 2022, Multiplex Areas are being established to enable smaller scale Missing Middle housing across the city.
Multiplexes offer a new type of ground-oriented housing as a similar but more affordable and sustainable housing option to single-detached homes. These range from 2 – 3 storeys and include up to six units on a single lot. Under the Secured Rental Policy, up to 6 storeys may be considered.
Within Multiplex Areas, the goal is to maintain the form and appearance of single family residences but with greater density. As seen in the image below, form and function will be in line with current esthetic.
Multiplex Areas will be permitted throughout the vast majority of the City and will be the dominant form of redevelopment aside from the Outright Duplex policy for all RS-1 zones.
Contact me to learn more about this policy in Vancouver and how it may impact your property value and housing needs.
