A public hearing will be held April 20 at Richmond City Hall for a proposed bylaw amendment that aims to increase restrictions on three storey homes within city-zoned residential properties.
The proposed bylaw aims to limit flat-roofed homes to 25 feet in height, as opposed to 29 feet. Should a home be built with a third-storey, it must be built into a pitched roof. Furthermore the city aims to prohibit third-storey balconies.
The bylaw is in response to widespread complaints in the city, by property owners, that new homes are too large. The hearing will be held at 7 p.m. with city council.
