Delta wants to make it easier for homeowners to have secondary suites.
Among Delta's resolutions to the provincial government is to allow secondary suites in side-by-side multi-family buildings such as duplexes, townhouses and row housing.
Delta refers to "Alternate compliance methods" which means accepting a construction method with a reduced performance that is still satisfactory and not attributed to fire safety.
Delta’s secondary suite program has gone through a few revisions in recent years including the requirement for a business licence for all suites, unless they are unoccupied or is occupied by immediate family.
