City of North Vancouver agrees to Coach Houses

The City of North Vancouver has agreed to new regulation to allow home owners to build a Coach House in their back yard, provided they comply with the new regulation. A coach house is "a small, detached secondary residence located on an alley or lane behind an existing detached home."

The new regulations govern siting, access, setbacks, parking, habitable space, architectural style, privacy, building products, landscaping and use. Home owners who have built to the maximum allowable density on their property won't be able to build a coach house. As well, the coach house can only be rented, it can't be sold.
