A Big Step for Housing in Delta: End the Apartment Ban 

Apartments are illegal in most of Delta and we are all paying the price for a policy that excludes residents and drives up prices. With bold leadership, Delta can broadly expand the swathes of land in the City where apartments are allowed to be built by right.

This change would mean that the process to build a rental apartment, a co-housing apartment, a disabled veterans group home, and a subsidized housing apartment would be the same as the process to build a single detached home. This would permit single detached houses and apartments to coexist in residential areas and allow for greater options for residents and newcomers alike!

This will be the main item presented on at our Del-POP meeting. If you would like to be one of the presenters, get in touch with Norm.
