Under the zoning bylaw, 11 allow 3 units, 113 allow 4 and 147 allow 6. 610 lots have no set number, because the zone limits floor space and height instead, or because its rules are not in this tool yet. Look up your own address for its number and the reason for it.

The middle lot is 6,988 sq ft (649 m²); the smallest the city records is 27 sq ft (3 m²) and the largest 724,350 sq ft (67,294 m²). Each lot's page shows its own size.

The city's land use plan gives R5 (183 lots), R4 (170 lots), LRN2 (130 lots), MU4A (120 lots), LRN1 (91 lots), ME (58 lots), R6 (44 lots), MU4B (27 lots), MU3 (17 lots), P (15 lots), INST (11 lots), IND (10 lots), MU1 (1 lot) and MU2 (1 lot). A designation is a separate layer from zoning: it sets the city's long-term direction for the area, while the zoning bylaw sets what can be built today.

881 lots, 13% of the 6,781 lots the City of North Vancouver records across the whole city. Every one of those lots has its own page with its own zone, size and unit count.

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) and High Density Apartment Residential (RH-1) zones: The zone lists no coach house. Extra units come as a suite inside a house, or as townhouses and apartments. 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 3 (RG-3), Medium Density Apartment Residential 2 (RM-2) and Ground Oriented Residential 2A (RG-2A) zones: 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.

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.

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.
