The latest North American city rethinking its low-density zoning for better affordability and sustainability is one of the epicenters of modern zoning reform: Vancouver BC. Can their six-homes-per-lot plan work for affordability?
For decades, Vancouver has led the continent (https://www.sightline.org/2016/02/17/why-vancouver-trounces-the-rest-of-cascadia-in-building-adus/) in re-legalizing small accessory homes: basement units known locally as "secondary suites" and alley-facing backyard homes, called "laneway houses." Now, as those ideas have radiated out to Washington, Oregon (https://www.sightline.org/2018/12/31/cascadias-five-most-important-adu-victories-of-2018/), Idaho (https://boisedev.com/news/2020/04/01/all-about-adus-accessory-dwellings-gain-popularity-in-boise/), California (https://www.curbed.com/2019/10/11/20909545/adus-development-california-real-estate-housing-shortage), Alberta (https://dailyhive.com/calgary/calgary-secondary-suites-registered-reform), Alaska (https://www.adn.com/business-economy/2018/06/28/anchorages-new-accessory-dwelling-ordinance-makes-some-big-changes-in-housing-rules/) and elsewhere, Vancouver is brainstorming new ways to legalize housing.
On Monday, Mayor Kennedy Stewart laid what looks like some of the groundwork for a 2022 re-election campaign by endorsing what could be Vancouver's next step: up to six homes on any owner-occupied lot (https://www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/british-columbia/article-vancouver-mayor-kennedy-stewart-seeks-to-permit-up-to-six-properties/?utm_source=Sightline%20Institute&utm_medium=web-email&utm_campaign=Sightline%20News%20Selections) if at least two are made permanently affordable to middle-income households.
