Owner-occupancy Requirement for Secondary Suites

WHEREAS communities want to see well-maintained residential neighbourhoods where neighbours are mutually respectful; AND WHEREAS there is generally a higher duty of care shown to neighbours in communities with owner-occupied properties and by tenants when owners are present: THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Province of British Columbia be required to amend Part 26 of the Local Government Act granting the authority to require secondary suites be permitted in owner-occupied homes only.
