Additional Residential Units

The updated Official Plan is proposed to reflect recent changes to the Planning Act which changes to the way municipalities regulate additional residential units. 

Maximum number of residential units in a principal building (i.e., detached house, semi detached house, or row house) and/or accessory structure, on a property with full services:

• Three (3) residential units in a principal building if no accessory structures contain any residential units;

• Two (2) residential units within a principal unit, if accessory structures on the property contain no more than one (1) residential unit;

• One (1) residential unit within an accessory structure, provided that the principal structure contains no more than two (2) residential units, and no other accessory structures contain any residential units.
