7 Housing 2030 TARGET » a net increase in rental housing units (overall percentage) The profile of the District resident of today has changed significantly from that of 20 years ago. During this time there has been a noticeable demographic shift from a younger familyoriented community towards more seniors with fewer young adults and children. Our housing mix, comprised largely of detached single family homes, has not kept pace with the needs of this changing community profile. Providing more diverse and affordable housing choice is needed for seniors, young singles, couples, and families with children so that a wide mix of ages can thrive together and ensure a healthy, diverse and vibrant community. Emergency, transitional and social housing is also needed to support vulnerable populations. The District’s objective is to increase housing choices across the full continuum of housing needs. 7.1 Housing Diversity 7.2 Rental Housing 7.3 Housing Affordability 7.4 Non-Market Housing and Homelessness 58 DNV Official Community Plan | Part Two
Housing Diversity 7.1 The network of centres concept provides important opportunities for increasing housing diversity and approximately 75 – 90% of future development will be directed to the four planned centres (Chapter 2). While growth will be restricted in detached residential areas, opportunities will exist to sensitively introduce appropriate housing choices such as coach houses, duplexes and small lot infill that respect and enhance neighbourhood character. Some flexibility is encouraged to enable residents to better age in place, live closer to schools, or have a mortgage helper. The District’s objective is to provide more options to suit different residents’ ages, needs and incomes. Policies 1. Encourage and facilitate a broad range of market, non-market and supportive housing 2. Undertake Neighbourhood Infill plans and/or Housing Action Plans (described in Chapter 12) where appropriate to: a. identify potential townhouse, row house, triplex and duplex areas near designated Town and Village Centres, neighbourhood commercial uses and public schools b. designate additional Small Lot Infill Areas c. develop criteria and identify suitable areas to support detached accessory dwellings (such as coach houses, backyard cottages and laneway housing) 3. Develop design guidelines to assist in ensuring the form and character of new multifamily development contributes to the character of existing neighbourhoods and to ensure a high standard of design in the new Town and Village Centres 4. Encourage and facilitate a wide range of multifamily housing sizes, including units suitable for families with an appropriate number of bedrooms, and smaller apartment units 5. Require accessibility features in new multifamily developments where feasible and appropriate DNV Official Community Plan | Part Two 59
