The Town offers ready-to-use design plans for detached additional residential units (ARUs). These pre-approved plans make it easier for you to add a detached ARU to your property.

This project helps increase local housing supply by encouraging gentle infill and simplifying the approval process.

Before you build:

• Apply for a building permit

• Submit planning applications

• Follow the Town’s zoning by-laws

This plan uses tools provided by the Planning Act to support community development. It includes a range of policies and incentives—both financial and non-financial—that the Town can offer to encourage investment in affordable housing.

The CIP will support private and non-profit developers in building homes that meet different needs and income levels across the community.
