Minor revisions to the city’s coach house policy have been tentatively approved.
The revisions, such as mandatory tandem parking on smaller lots and setbacks to prevent less-shaded neighbouring properties, will go to a public hearing next month.
Coun. Carol Day said she voted for the revisions in order to open up public dialogue at a hearing (although people may only speak to the amendments); she disagrees with neighbourhoods over-densifying in such a manner.
Coun. Linda McPhail spoke favourably about the policy, stating coach houses are a good option for more affordable single-detached living.
