SUBJECT: Permit Applications in RS Zones - August 2019

On December 19, 2018, Council passed a resolution that the current Zoning and Development By-law regulations that allow for duplexes to be built in most RS zones will remain in place as a trial housing option to be further discussed, field tested and evaluated over the next year. Further, Council directed that during the trial period, staff are to "monitor and report back to Council monthly, with information, including the number of applications and approvals for duplexes in RS Zones, and the number of legal rental housing units at risk, including a map to display the locations of any applications and/or approvals."

This memo including appendices provides a monthly update report on permit applications for one-family and two-family dwellings in RS zones up to and including August 31, 2019. Since the Zoning and Development By-law was amended at public hearing on September 19, 2018, to allow duplexes in RS zones, applications for two-family dwellings (duplex) account for about 13% (60 of 460) of all applications for principal dwellings in RS zones received to date.
