Vancouver is planning to reduce the time it takes to get a building permit for certain multiplex applications.
The city says a streamlined permit application process starting early next year will take about half the time.

Currently, multiplex projects are required to apply for a separate development permit followed by a building permit, but the city plans to combine them into one application.
Multiplex applications with up to four dwellings on a single site and no more than two units per building will qualify.
