Burnaby Now

From single-family to sixplex: Burnaby will allow up to six homes on previously single-family residential lots as of July 1, aligning with provincial mandates.

It’s the dawn of a new age in Burnaby.

Starting next month, the city will have no more single-family zoning.

On June 10, Burnaby council approved the bylaws that condensed all 12 existing single- and two-family residential districts into just one: the “small-scale multi-unit housing district,” or SSMUH, taking its name from provincial regulations.
