See Index of articles revealing major lobbying influence on B.C. Provincial Housing Bills and Housing Targets . Building on the foundation laid by Bill 43 (2022), the B.C. government introduced two transformative pieces of legislation in late 2023 (Bills 44 and 47). It was revealed that while industry had a major hand in developing the legislation, municipalities had been kept under a veil of silence, having been forced to sign non-disclosure agreements. Together, these bills effectively ended traditional single-family zoning in most of the province and further centralized control over urban planning. Bill 44 \u2013 2023: The \u201cEnd of Single-Family Zoning\u201d Act Full Title: Housing Statutes (Residential Development) Amendment Act, 2023 If Bill 43 created the \u201cnaughty list,\u201d Bill 44 provided the tools to dismantle the zoning that defined B.C. neighborhoods for a century. It mandates that local governments \u201cpre-zone\u201d land to allow for higher density automatically. Key provisions: Mandatory Multiplexes: Municipalities are now required to allow 3 to 4 units on standard single-family lots, and up to 6 units on larger lots near frequent transit. Elimination of Public Hearings: To prevent what YIMBY activists and even elected officials blame as \u201cNIMBY\u201d (Not In My Backyard) delays, Bill 44 prohibits local governments from holding public hearings for any residential rezoning that is consistent with the Official Community Plan (OCP). Parking Minimums Scrapped: For the 6-unit projects near frequent transit, municipalities can no longer require off-street parking, leaving that decision entirely to the developer. Bill 47: The \u201cSkyscraper Zone\u201d Act Full Title: Housing Statutes (Transit-Oriented Areas) Amendment Act, 2023 While Bill 44 focuses on neighborhoods, Bill 47 targets the areas around transit hubs, essentially creating \u201cProvincial Zones\u201d where municipal height restrictions are rendered void. Key provisions: Transit-Oriented Areas (TOAs): The Province designated over 100 TOAs\u2014land within 800 meters of a SkyTrain station or 400 meters of a major bus exchange. Mandatory Minimum Heights: In these circles, municipalities cannot refuse a development based on height or density if it meets provincial minimums. In Metro Vancouver, this means towers of up to 20 storeys must be allowed within 200m of SkyTrain stations. No Residential Parking: Similar to Bill 44, but more aggressive: municipalities are prohibited from requiring any residential parking for developments in these designated transit zones.

TOD promotes the creation of complete, liveable, and sustainable communities by building more homes near transit and services.
