The residential component of the project calls for 221 townhouses and just over 100 single-family homes.

The State of California is determined to have more housing, and is using some fairly punitive tactics to force recalcitrant cities to comply with requirements to plan for affordable housing. Who woulda thought that there would be a moratorium on building permits in Beverly Hills? #california #beverlyhills #building #permits #moratorium #homeimprovements #residential #realestate #development #housingshortage #affordablehousing https://lnkd.in/gc4WddF7

To help with more housing options and supply throughout Burlington, City Council intends to allow four residential units per lot. This supports the City’s Housing Strategy to help with more rental units and housing options. We have already updated our Additional Residential Unit policies which now allow up to three residential units per urban residential lot. We will ask for feedback on property criteria for ARUs and before more changes are made to the City’s Official Plan and Zoning Bylaw to allow up to four units. What are Additional Residential Units (ARUs)? Additional Residential Units are self-contained living units with their own kitchen, bathroom and sleeping areas. They are on the same property as a primary home, including single detached homes, semi-detached homes and townhouses. They can be inside or attached to a primary home, or in a separate accessory building like a detached garage. Examples of ARUs are basement apartments, attached suites, tiny homes and coach houses. See more info about ARUs and how to apply for one (or more!) on your property at www.burlington.ca/arus.

Another insight from "Escaping the Housing Trap" "The missing middle has gone missing largely because of zoning." "...different elements of a zoning code tend to interact in complex ways to render development on a piece of land infeasible. By the time you have complied with building setback requirements (distance from the edges of the lot), height restrictions, floor area maximums, and added the mandatory number of parking stalls, there is often not enough room left on the lot to accommodate a viable multi-unit building." Here is a real world example. I looked a two lots recently in a municipality near me. They are located on a busy road with a mix of commercial and residential development. Both lots lots are 0.11 acres in size (0.22 total) and are the same size as about 30 single family lots on the same block that each have a home on them. Pretty much all of the homes on the busy road are now being used for commercial uses. Zoning allows for ONLY single family development (even though one of the lots has wide frontage on the busy road where everything else is commercial). The minimum lot size has grown from when the lots were originally subdivided and developed, so that not even a single-family home can be legally built on one of the lots (minimum lot size for a SF home is 0.138 acres). The city is adamant that they not be rezoned. The result? The only solution if you wanted to develop this property is to combine the lots into one lot that has frontage on a busy commercial road and is twice as big as the lots surrounding it, and build one single family home with an ADU. Madness.

Discover a new era in home building! The BC government has innovated with 10 ready-made designs for speedy and cost-effective construction of charming, small-scale, multi-unit homes. Inspired by the iconic 'Vancouver Special' model, these designs are a nod to history with a modern twist. They're perfect for single-family home-zoned areas, allowing three to four units, and even six units in transit-friendly locations. It's a thoughtful approach to urban development, blending convenience with community living. My concern will be the sufficient parking space to support these high density small scale multi-unit homes. I wish the government will take that into consideration and revise these designs with 1 home to 1 mid-sized vehicle parking spot ratio built into the lot. Do you believe this is the solution for the housing crisis? To learn more about this, please click on link below https://lnkd.in/g4ymbcN6 #vancouverrealestate #bcrealestate #realtor #housingcrisis

The #BC government is now looking into relaxing requirements so that #apartments taller than two storeys and, likely, shorter than six storeys can be built with just one staircase as in many European countries. Charles Montgomery of Happy Cities says this change could not only improve the financial feasibility of smaller apartment #buildings with different kinds of units, but also improve the way #residents interact in them.

Yes please! This is one of my biggest pet peeves about our provincial building codes. Many of my favourite missing middle buildings in Ottawa are banned under current buildings codes, because they feature a single central staircase. Those beautiful 3-4 storey walk-ups on Elgin? Not allowed. These are some of the benefits of single staircase walk-ups: ✅ You end up with a greater range of floorplans because you're not stuck with long double-loaded corridors on each floor (the double-loaded corridors are why most apartment buildings feel sterile and like a hotel, because they're designed...like a hotel) ✅ Smaller buildings become more affordable to build, because less of the floorplate is taken up by the two required separate staircases ✅ Because smaller buildings become more affordable to build, you're more likely to end up with 3-5 storey buildings in your neighbourhood (instead of condo towers) because the finances make sense for the developer Many of the things we dislike about our cities (and new development) are actually zoned and coded into being. Zoning and building code reform are crucial if we want to build healthier, denser, and happier cities.

HENRICO COUNTY, VA - A plan to redevelop the blighted Glenwood Farms community now calls for replacing its nearly 300 apartments with more than triple that number of new homes. A rezoning request filed for the massive redevelopment by developers Spy Rock Real Estate and Crescent Development shows a total of 950 residential units, at least 150 more than the “nearly 800 units” that were planned when Henrico County announced the public-private project in May. A county staff report that accompanies the request does not address the increase in the number of units, which would be a mix of apartments, including age-restricted units, for-sale townhomes and condominiums. Crescent principal Zac Frederick said the developers were able to increase the number of units after securing additional land – a roughly 3-acre wooded parcel at 3600 Len Court. Frederick said that allowed them to “increase density through a more efficient design.” Spy Rock and Crescent, which are molding the now 35-acre project after their nearby Springdale Park redevelopment, are seeking an urban mixed-use zoning designation to allow up to 555 apartments, 395 townhomes or condos, and an unspecified amount of commercial space. The commercial spaces will include stand-alone retail on a 1.5-acre portion and first-floor storefronts in some of the residential buildings. The development would replace Glenwood Farms’ 294 apartments, some of which have been condemned and many of which are unoccupied. The community, which straddles Laburnum Avenue a few blocks east Mechanicsville Turnpike, has been riddled with building code violations and safety concerns since its previous owner acquired it in 2018.

The majority of new housing supply being created in the City of Vancouver is rental and will continue to be for the foreseeable future. The cost to deliver new strata condos is just too high. With new one-bed condos starting in the $700’s on the Eastside and mid $800’s on the Westside, majority of people are officially priced-out 💵💰 For me, this signifies two important trends: 1.) The scarcity of new supply will continue to drive up the value of condos in the City over time, making ownership increasingly expensive. 2.) Those seeking affordable homeownership alternatives will find areas like Coquitlam, Port Moody, Langley, and Surrey increasingly attractive 📈… Recent new home sales data emphasizes the demand for housing options beyond the City. With Millennials entering their prime homeownership years, these suburban energy hubs around Vancouver are poised to become some of the most desirable places to live. There are some really great investment opportunities for those who also see this trend playing out the way I do.
