Laneway House Frequently Asked Questions

We also call these types of homes detached ADUs or laneway house Burnaby. The term ADU stands for detached accessory dwelling units, formally used to describe laneway homes and explain the category of this housing construction. In Burnaby, ‘laneway home’ is a common term, but others like coach homes, secondary suites, garden cottages, backyard suites, and carriage homes are used interchangeably.

Why Do You Need a Laneway House in Burnaby?
Given the increasing need for housing in Burnaby, laneway houses have become an affordable option. With rental prices surging, families find it challenging to afford homes in good neighborhoods; however, laneway homes tackle this growing housing problem.
Moreover, they offer additional space for extended families seeking a solution to stay close while enjoying separate space and privacy.
Furthermore, building a laneway house can significantly increase your property’s value. Depending on its design, you might see a notable boost in your home’s worth.
In addition, one of the best features of a laneway house is the potential for extra income. Hence, you can rent it out for various time frames to generate consistent additional revenue.
Additionally, owning a laneway house in Burnaby could attract higher bids if you decide to sell your property. As a result, the presence of a laneway house becomes an attractive feature for potential buyers, enhancing your home’s appeal.
Lastly, laneway houses contribute to the area’s sustainability and foster rapid growth in rental housing stock.
What Are The Requirements to Build a Laneway House in Burnaby?
Burnaby’s property types dictate which model and design regulations we select for the laneway house program. This helps in developing architectural design samples and guidelines for Council review.
Parking is a major aspect of the laneway house program. With additional parking demand, we must evaluate Burnaby’s residential districts for off-street parking to determine if neighborhoods can accommodate new requirements.
We consider the laneway infrastructure, including its design, development, and usage, when setting guidelines for laneway homes. This includes evaluating lane width, lighting, utilities, pavement standards, and proximity to public services.
The city’s residential infrastructure plays a crucial role. We review water and sanitary services in neighborhoods, including garbage/recycling services, proposing upgrades, expense structures, permits, and future plans.
We also assess electricity and natural gas provisions. Moreover, ensuring emergency and postal services within neighborhoods is vital for framing the program’s guidelines. We review these third-party infrastructure requirements, sanctions, and administration.
