    Reduction in permit wait times for multiplex housing in Vancouver

    Darpan News Desk The Canadian Press, 15 Oct, 2024 05:06 PM
    • Reduction in permit wait times for multiplex housing in Vancouver

    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.
