Provincial

legislation requires the City to allow for small-scale multi-unit housing (up

to 4 units per property) on most single-family lots across Coquitlam. On June

9, 2025, Coquitlam City Council adopted Zoning Bylaw changes to comply with these provincial

requirements.

What is Small-Scale Multi-Unit Housing?

The Province defines Small-Scale Multi-Unit Housing as a range of housing options that are typically ground-oriented and generally compatible in scale and form with established single-family and duplex neighbourhoods. Examples include secondary suites, carriage houses, garden cottages, duplexes, triplexes, and fourplexes.
