In April 2024, Council adopted Bylaw 2024-16, a bylaw to amend the Zoning Bylaw to enable a wider range of opportunities for residential development within the City’s neighbourhoods. This included permitting up to four units per lot on all urban residential lots. To learn more about these changes, visit the City's Engage Whitehorse page for the Zoning Bylaw Rewrite or review the City's Guide for Development Small-Scale Multi-Unit Housing.
This workshop is an opportunity for builders and property owners to learn more about these changes, and design considerations, and workshop a small-scale multi-unit housing design with local architects and City staff. Attendees can workshop their own designs and plans, with the local architects and City staff available to assist and answer questions. Attendees will also have the option of working on a sample design.
Kobayashi + Zedda architects will be facilitating the workshops and will lead a presentation on the considerations for the development of small-scale multi-unit housing in Whitehorse and facilitate the following workshop.
The General Public workshop is intended for individuals interested in developing dwelling units on their own property.
