Zoning & land

R-3 — Small Lot Residential suite OK

Areas B/D/E/F: single-unit dwelling with a restricted second storey. Density is capped at one dwelling per parcel, but s.5.24.4 excludes secondary suites from that count, so a suite still works (wastewater carve-out aside). No auxiliary dwelling unit here. Area A: residential with auxiliary commercial — over 2000 m2 gets a duplex second unit OR one auxiliary dwelling unit. Sechelt R-3: SSMUH small-lot zone, suite plus up to 4 units.
