Rezoning your Burnaby property can unlock significant development value — allowing you to build more units, increase density, or change how your land is used. Speera Custom Homes guides you through the rezoning process in Burnaby, from initial feasibility through municipal approval.

Speera Custom Homes builds custom homes, duplexes, and multiplexes across Burnaby, and provides full renovation services for existing homes. We're familiar with Burnaby's R1, R2, and R3 zones, the city's SSMUH implementation, and its specific multiplex and duplex design requirements — including unit count, parking, and lot coverage rules that vary from neighbouring municipalities.

Local Knowledge

Rezoning in Burnaby: What to Know

Under BC's Bill 44 (SSMUH), most Burnaby single-family lots now allow 4–6 units as of right. The City of Burnaby has updated its zoning bylaw to align with the provincial minimums and continues to permit secondary suites and coach houses on most residential lots, alongside its own multiplex and duplex design guidelines.

Burnaby's diverse neighbourhoods — from Capitol Hill to Metrotown — offer strong opportunities for custom home construction, multiplex and duplex infill development, and whole-home renovation. Burnaby's central location, SkyTrain access, and strong rental demand make multi-unit construction especially attractive on qualifying lots.

We work throughout Burnaby, including: Capitol Hill, Brentwood, Metrotown, Deer Lake, Burnaby Heights, Edmonds, Highgate, Sullivan Heights. View all Burnaby services →

FAQ

Rezoning Services in Burnaby: Common Questions

Rezoning is needed when you want to build something not permitted under your current zoning — such as a larger multiplex, a mixed-use building, or a density increase beyond what BC's SSMUH rules allow as of right. We assess whether your project requires rezoning during a free consultation.

Rezoning timelines are set by the City of Burnaby and vary based on application complexity and current municipal workloads. We outline a realistic timeline for your specific application during our initial consultation.

Yes. BC's SSMUH legislation now allows 4+ units on most Burnaby residential lots without rezoning. This means projects that previously required rezoning may now proceed as of right. We confirm whether your project qualifies during a free consultation.

Yes — this is one of our key advantages. We guide your Burnaby property through rezoning and then transition directly into the design and construction phase, eliminating the need to coordinate between separate teams.
