City of Burnaby Complete information.
“Burnaby is undertaking a comprehensive update of our Zoning Bylaw to modernize and simplify our existing development regulations for all zoning districts and to implement new provincial legislation and City plans and policies.
The Zoning Bylaw is a tool for regulating land use which communicates technical requirements relating to use, density, and location of development in Burnaby. While the Zoning Bylaw is periodically amended in response to ongoing development needs, it has been nearly 60 years since the document has been comprehensively reviewed. The Zoning Bylaw Rewrite project will create a new bylaw to replace the current Burnaby Zoning Bylaw No. 4742, which was adopted in 1965.”
Zoning Bylaw Changes:
Burnaby’s Zoning Bylaw is undergoing a significant rewrite to modernize and simplify our development regulations and implement new provincial housing legislation and city plans and policies. Effective July 1, 2024, the 12 existing R-Districts have been consolidated into one new R1 Small-Scale Multi-Unit Housing District. The City will pursue additional changes to the Zoning Bylaw throughout the rewrite project.
