BURNABY’S HOUSING POLICIES

For more information on the City of Burnaby’s Housing programs and projects visit: www.burnaby.ca//Housing PLANNING AND BUILDING DEPARTMENT

ADAPTABLE HOUSING POLICY An adaptable housing unit has features that can be easily modified to improve accessibility if and when needed. Under this policy, new multi-family residential developments approved through the CD rezoning process must have adaptable design in:

■ at least 20% of the single-level units; or ■ 100% of the units if it is purpose-built seniors housing.

A 1.85 m² (approximately 20 sf) floor area exemption is provided for every adaptable housing unit.

AFFORDABLE UNITS POLICY This policy sets an inclusionary target for newly developing communities on publicly-owned land, specifying that 20% of the new units should be non-market rental housing. To date, the program has resulted in the development of 390 non-market housing units at Oaklands, George Derby, Cariboo Heights, and the former Burnaby South Secondary School site in the Edmonds Town Centre.

DEFFERRAL OF DEVELOPMENT COST CHARGES AND PERMIT FEES

This policy allows for the deferral of applicable City development cost charges and permit fees for non-market housing projects for a period of up to 24 months commencing from the time of final development approval. This policy helps defer costs early in the development schedule, during the difficult period prior to the generation of cash flow.

FAST TRACK APPROVALS POLICY This policy ensures that priority is given to processing applications for non-market housing development.

FLEX-SUITES POLICY This policy supports zoning for flex-suites in apartment and townhouse units in the P11 District (UniverCity). Sometimes known as “lock-off units,” these suites provide affordable housing for both university students and others wishing to live near the SFU campus.

GROUP HOME POLICY This policy supports community-based residential opportunities for citizens with special needs while ensuring that group homes are developed in a planned, balanced manner with adequate support systems.

RENTAL CONVERSION CONTROL POLICY This policy prohibits strata conversion of purpose-built multiple-family rental housing. Established in 1974, this policy has helped to preserve much of the purpose built rental housing stock that was built with federal subsidies between the 1950s and 1980s.

TENANT ASSISTANCE POLICY This policy requires submittal of a Tenant Assistance Plan for redevelopment or renovation proposals for buildings with six or more units. Plan guidelines include a minimum of four months’ notice; monetary compensation equal to a minimum of three months’ rent; and assistance to tenants in seeking alternative accommodation. Tenant Assistance Plans are a prerequisite to rezoning approval for all qualifying proposals.

BURNABY’S HOUSING PROGRAMS

For more information on the City of Burnaby’s Housing programs and projects visit: www.burnaby.ca/Housing PLANNING AND BUILDING DEPARTMENT

COMMUNITY BENEFIT BONUS POLICY/HOUSING FUND

The Community Benefit Bonus Policy is a density bonus program that generates funding for community amenities and affordable and/or special needs housing through on-site construction and/or cash-in-lieu funds. At least 20% of all cash-in-lieu funds are contributed to the Community Benefit Bonus Housing Fund (“Housing Fund”). This program has secured over $123 million for non-market housing projects. The program has also contributed 19 in-kind non-market housing units.

CITY LANDS PROGRAM FOR NON-MARKET HOUSING PROJECTS/CITY LAND LEASES

Burnaby leases land that it owns to non-profit societies and housing corporations seeking to build non-market housing. The City offsets lease costs with contributions from the Community Benefit Bonus Housing Fund. Current leases support 493 non-market housing units and 26 group facility spaces on 14 properties.

The City Lands Program for Non-Market Housing, adopted in 2015, identifies City-owned properties that are suitable for non-market housing, and offers these sites to non-profit societies or government agencies through a Request for Expressions of Interest (RFEOI) process. Lease costs, servicing fees, and permit fees are all eligible for offsets from the Housing Fund. City Lands Program Projects include:

■ 3802 Hastings Street: a partnership with SUCCESS and BC Housing, this proposal includes approximately 130 non-market housing units with ground level commercial and service uses. It is currently in the pre-application phase.

■ 7898 Eighteenth Avenue: a partnership with New Vista Society and BC Housing, this proposal includes approximately 26 non-market housing units, including family-friendly units. A rezoning application was recently submitted for this project.

■ 3986 Norland Avenue: a partnership with BC Housing’s Rapid Response to Homelessness Initiative, this proposal includes 52 supportive housing units. This project completed the rezoning process on 2019 February 11 and will soon be under construction.

BC HOUSING PARTNERSHIPS Burnaby works with BC Housing, non-profit societies, and private sector partners to deliver more housing, using Housing Fund contributions to offset land costs, servicing, and permit fees. Current partnerships include:

■ 3986 Norland Avenue (BC Housing Rapid Response to Homelessness Initiative) – 52 supportive housing units ■ 3755 Banff Avenue (Burnaby Association for Community Inclusion) – 15 new housing units + 9 existing ■ Beresford and Sussex (New Vista Society) – 125 new housing units ■ Cedar Place (BC Housing) – 91 new seniors units + 90 replacement units ■ Hall Towers (BC Housing) – 331 replacement units + additional affordable rental units TBD ■ City Lands Program projects (SUCCESS and New Vista Society) – approximately 156 new units

SECONDARY SUITES PROGRAM The Secondary Suites Program allows secondary rental housing within a single family residence. Secondary suites offer a range of affordability, with many units priced below other types of market rental. They also offer renters the opportunity to live in single family neighbourhoods without renting an entire house. Approximately 774 new or renovated suites have been constructed since 2014, with 607 additional units under construction.

MARCH 2019

MARKET RENTAL HOUSING 2019 - NEW AND IN PROGRESS

Market rental housing encompasses a range of housing types and affordability levels and is an important part of the housing continuum. It is comprised of primary market rental (shown on map at right), and secondary market rental.

Primary market rental includes purpose-built market rental units under single ownership, for example, rental apartment buildings.

Secondary market rental includes rental units that individual homeowners choose to rent to tenants, for example, secondary suites or rented condo units.

The provision of market rental housing is subject to market considerations.

KEY FACTS:

There are about 30,000 units of market rental housing in Burnaby.

The rental housing stock comprises about 10% single family dwellings, 22% secondary suites, 3% two family (duplex) dwellings, 38% purpose-built multi-family rental units and 27% multi-family strata units.

Burnaby has about 12,000 units of purpose-built rental housing.
