Bill 44 Zoning Changes: Surrey

Which properties will actually benefit from Bill 44 initiated zoning changes in Surrey? Not that many!

Why:

• Off Street Parking requirements will only change for those within 400m of a frequent bus stop
• For a Triplex or Fourplex with up to 6 dwelling units a 60' frontage and a rear lane access will be required, while also being within 400m of a frequent bus stop

This means that while properties that are suitable are few they will provide great benefit, while your typical single family property not in these zones may struggle to build a suitable duplex due to parking requirements. Most will simply do legally what is already taking place, by putting multiple basement suites in single family homes.

Note: The parking requirements listed are only for those within 4oom of a frequent bus stop.
