Questions

Which zones cover Mahon?

Of the 916 lots the City of North Vancouver records here, 837 lots in the Ground Oriented (GO) zone, 66 lots in the P-1 zone, 9 lots in the One-Unit Residential (RS-1) zone, 2 lots in the Medium Density Apartment Residential (RM-1) zone, 1 lot in the CD-208 zone and 1 lot in the CD-711 zone.

How many units can I build on a lot in Mahon?

Under the zoning bylaw, 13 allow 3 units, 698 allow 4 and 135 allow 6. 70 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.

How big are the lots in Mahon?

The middle lot is 6,485 sq ft (602 m²); the smallest the city records is 2,230 sq ft (207 m²) and the largest 2,066,901 sq ft (192,021 m²). Each lot's page shows its own size.

Which land use categories apply here?

The city's land use plan gives LRN1 (703 lots), LRN2 (107 lots), P (68 lots), R4 (28 lots), INST (5 lots), R5 (2 lots) and MU1 (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.

How much of North Vancouver (City) is Mahon?

916 lots, 14% 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.

Can I build a laneway home or coach house on a lot in Mahon?

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) 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. 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. 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.
