Land Use & Zoning
Arterial Road Land Use Policy
The City supports densification along its arterial roads. The purpose of this densification is to locate developments on arterial road properties in close proximity to commercial services, public amenities, schools, and transit service. Two (2) guiding principles have been established for this form of developments:
- Densification along major arterial roads should minimize traffic disruption by
eliminating driveways along arterial roads; - Densification along minor arterial roads should result in no net increase in the
number of driveways to maintain existing traffic flow.
This densification includes the following house types:
- Arterial Road Townhouse - two (2) to three (3) storey townhouse units;
- Arterial Road Row House - attached dwelling units on fee simple lots (lane access);
- Arterial Road Duplex/Triplex - two (2) to three (3) attached dwelling units on one (1) lot (road access, no lane);
- Arterial Road Compact Lot Duplex - compact front to back duplex (lane access);
- Arterial Road Compact Lot Coach House - single detached dwelling with a coach house unit above a detached garage (lane access);
- Arterial Road Compact Lot Single Detached - single detached dwelling with or without a secondary suite (lane access).
