166 lots, out of 6,781 across the whole city. Every one of those lots has its own page, listed below in house-number order.

Can I build a laneway home or coach house on E 17th St?

It depends on the lot's zone. In the Ground Oriented (GO) zone: Yes. A separate unit at the back of the lot is one of the units this zone already allows, so it counts towards the lot's number of units rather than being an extra. In the Medium Density Apartment Residential (RM-1) zone: The zone lists no coach house. Extra units come as a suite inside a house, or as townhouses and apartments. In the One-Unit Residential (RS-1) zone: Yes. This zone allows one coach house: a separate unit at the back of the lot, on top of the house at the front. Open a lot's own page to see which zone it is in.

Does the city's map put extra limits on any lot on E 17th St?

Yes, on 3 lots marked development application and 2 lots marked heritage register. Open a lot's own page for what the city's note says about it.

Where do these figures come from?

Lot counts come from the City of North Vancouver's public map, downloaded on September 19, 2026. Confirm the rules for your lot with the city before you pay for a design.

Does this mean the city will approve my project?

This page shows what the zoning bylaw allows on paper. A real project also needs a building permit, the city reviews each design against more rules than the ones shown here, and your lot may carry limits the city's map does not show. Confirm the rules with the city's planning staff before you pay for a design.
