Can I build a laneway home or coach house on a lot in Low Rise Neighbourhood 1?

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 One-Unit Residential (RS-1) and One-Unit Residential (RS-2) zones: Yes. This zone allows one coach house: a separate unit at the back of the lot, on top of the house at the front. In the Two-Unit Residential (RT-1) zone: Yes, with a single house: one coach house at the back. With a duplex, the extra units are suites inside the building instead. In the Ground-Oriented Residential 1 (RG-1) zone: Yes, with a single house: one coach house at the back of the lot. Look up your own address to see which zone your lot is in.

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.
