  • Secondary Suites Project Questionnaire Results
    Secondary Suites Project Questionnaire Results During the summer and fall of 2013 the Regional District of Nanaimo (RDN) initiated a public engagement process to gauge the level of community support for secondary suites within the RDN’s Electoral Areas A, C, E, F G, and H. This was done by attending community events, meeting with community groups and individuals, hosting information sessions, and an online questionnaire. The purpose of the questionnaire was to ask residents their level of support for secondary suites as a form of affordable housing within the community and identify what form of secondary suites may be appropriate. The questionnaire also focused on identifying issues and opportunities related to secondary suites. A total of 209 responses to the online questionnaire were received. The purpose of this document is to present the questionnaire results in a reader friendly format. Many of the questions provided an opportunity to provide written comments. All written comments have been provided following the last question. Only 26 (12.4%) of 209 respondents were renters or soon to be renters. So the results of the renters section of the questionnaire may not be representative of renters’ views across the region.

  • Heat Detector Installation Guidelines - Secondary Suites
    The Corporation of THE CITY OF NORTH VANCOUVER Heat Detector Installation Guidelines - Secondary Suites This guide has been prepared to outline the City of North Vancouver policy for the installation of heat detectors in furnace rooms of single-family dwellings with secondary suites. Rationale The B.C. Building Code requires furnace rooms to be separated by construction that will achieve a fire resistance rating of either 30 or 45 minutes. Most furnace rooms within single family dwellings are ducted to a furnace plenum that feeds a horizontal trunk duct. Branch ducts are then fed from this trunk duct to rooms and spaces. The arrangement of the plenum and trunk duct requires an extreme amount of duct repositioning, installation of drywall and fire dampers to achieve compliance with these fire compartmentalizing requirements. Equivalency Article 2.5.1.2 of the B.C. Building Code allows for alternate methods to achieve the required level of fire protection. A 120 volt heat detector may be used within the furnace room to replace the fire-resistance rating for the ceiling and some of the walls, provided the heat detector is wired to audible devices on each floor. This will provide early warning to the occupants, in case of a fire, allowing them to vacate the premise. The walls within the furnace room that can be drywalled will still require a fire rating. This may be achieved by applying one layer of 5/8" drywall to the inside face of the furnace room wall. The procedure for the installation of the heat detector follows. Heat Detector Installation The heat detector in the furnace room is to be permanently wired from a circuit in the electrical panel.

This information brochure has been prepared to provide homeowners with an overview of Delta's requirements for secondary suites and the steps required to legalize an existing secondary suite. This brochure is for general guidance only, and does not replace bylaws and legal documents such as Delta's Zoning Bylaw or the BC Building Code. HAT IS A SECONDARY SUITE? The BC Building Code defines a secondary suite as an additional dwelling unit which: • has a total floor space of not more than 90 m2 (968 if) in area; • has a floor space less than 40% of the habitable floor space of the building; • is located within a building of residential occupancy containing only one other dwelling unit; and • is located in and part of a building which is a single real estate entity. In simpler terms, a secondary suite is an area of a single family dwelling that is separate from the rest of the house. A secondary suite can include common areas with the rest of the house (such as a laundry room) but must contain certain facilities that are completely separated from the rest of the hOlJse, including at least one bedroom, a bathroom, and a kitchen.
