Burnaby wants to encourage owners of heritage homes to build laneway housing. 'We don’t have to see heritage and growth as opposites; they can be compatible,' said the city's heritage planner.
As Burnaby prepares to allow laneway housing, city staff are planning ways to get owners of heritage homes in on the action.
"The challenge for heritage conservation is how to allow for more dwelling units while also retaining the heritage resources." Codd called the heritage revitalization agreements "complex" and noted till now they haven't happened very frequently. The agreement could allow for a larger laneway house; one with fewer parking spots, variances to its height or lot coverage, or the required distance between the laneway house and the main home, depending on the property.
Building a laneway house, Codd said, could be one way for owners of heritage homes to get more housing on their land.
