    After years of redevelopment in the City of Burnaby that saw many older, affordable rental units converted to strata housing, in early 2020, the City of Burnaby introduced significant rental protections in the form of its Rental Use Zoning Policy.  The Policy requires new multi-family residential rezoning to include affordable rental units, includes protectionary measures such as rental-only zoning, provides for an Affordable Housing Fund to support non-profit redevelopment, alongside a comprehensive new Tenant Assistance Policy.

    This event gives an opportunity for stakeholders to discuss the execution of a regulatory framework such as this and how it impacts the development industry, the community and project delivery. A Representative from the City of Burnaby, a non-profit housing provider, and a market developer, will contribute their experiences of working with the new policy and what successes and opportunities for refinement have emerged over time. Come prepared to listen, learn and ask questions!
