Secondary suite rules changing

Zoning text changes made for parking clarifications for secondary suites

Armstrong council is in the process of reviewing options to permit secondary suites within single family dwellings in all low-density residential zones.

“We directed staff to make amendments to the zoning bylaw to allow suites in all low-density residential homes, and that included some language with respect to parking,” said Coun. Ryan Nitchie.

Council is proposing that one off-street parking space shall be provided for a secondary suite containing one bedroom, and two off-street parking spaces for two-bedroom suites.

Council passed first two readings of the zoning text amendment.

A public hearing on the matter will be held in council chambers at 7 p.m. April 22.
