A Garden Suite is a residential dwelling unit intended to provide temporary accommodation for a specific person or persons who are physically dependent on the residents of the existing residential dwelling unit or to provide accommodations for a caregiver of whom a specific person or persons residing in the existing residential dwelling unit is physically dependent. A typical example is for an elderly parent to live in a modular home on the property of one of their children as they require the supervision and care of their children.

Bylaw 44/16 will allow for an increase in the timeframe which a Garden Suite can be approved, from the current standard of two (2) years, to a total of four (4) years. After expiration of the approval, a new application and subsequent fees will be required. To view the Proposed Bylaw 44/16, click here.
