How many units can I build on a lot in Residential Level 4?

Under the zoning bylaw, 4 allow 3 units, 33 allow 4, 87 allow 6, 1 allow 13 and 1 allow 15. 229 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 Residential Level 4?

The middle lot is 6,992 sq ft (650 m²); the smallest the city records is 2,029 sq ft (189 m²) and the largest 94,985 sq ft (8,824 m²). Each lot's page shows its own size.

Which neighbourhoods make up this land use category?

By the City of North Vancouver's neighbourhood boundaries, Lower Lonsdale (170 lots), Central Lonsdale (102 lots), Moodyville (36 lots), Mahon (28 lots) and Marine-Hamilton (19 lots).

How much of North Vancouver (City) is Residential Level 4?

355 lots, 5% 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 Residential Level 4?

It depends on the lot's zone. In the Ground-Oriented Residential 3 (RG-3), Ground-Oriented Residential 4 (RG-4), Ground-Oriented Residential 1 (RG-1) and Ground Oriented Residential 2A (RG-2A) zones: Yes, with a single house: one coach house at the back of the lot. 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 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 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. 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.
