Building heights in RS zones are limited to a maximum of 3 storeys including basements.

In the calculation of floor area ratio in RS and RRh zones:
a. Up to 46 m2 of floor area may be excluded for an attached garage or carport per
single residential use or per rowhouse dwelling unit;
b. Up to 23 m2 of floor area may be excluded for an attached garage or carport per
accessory dwelling unit or per principal dwelling unit for a duplex or triplex use;
c. Up to 90 m2 of floor area may be excluded for the dwelling unit of an Accessory
Dwelling Unit;
d. Floor area comprising a crawl space may be excluded;
e. In RS zones portions of floor area other than stairwells that are more than4.3 m
measured from the floor to the ceiling shall be counted twice.
In the RS zones, the maximum floor area ratio is increased to:
a. 0.60 for a single residential use that includes a secondary suite;
b. 0.75 for a duplex use with or without a secondary suite in each principal dwelling;
and
c. 1.0 for a triplex use with or without a secondary suite in each principal dwelling.
In the RS and RRh zones, setbacks are measured to the principal building only.
In RS zones the front setback may be reduced to 4.0m if the lot has access to a lane or
if parking is only located to the rear of the principal building or if the lot is within 400m
of a prescribed bus stop.
In RS zones the minimum rear setback may be reduced to 6.0m for triplexes on lots
within 400m of a prescribed bus stop.
The depth of a principal building in an RS zone may not exceed 20m, except the depth
may be exceeded for decks extending not more than a combined total of 4m beyond
the exterior surface of the building.
In RTh1, RTh2 and RTh3 zones the interior side setback must be at least 3.5m in the
case of a building wall having a window to a habitable room.
Interior side setbacks are not required in relation to a lot boundary at which dwelling
units in RRh zones have a common wall. Where the end dwelling unit of a rowhouse
in the RRh zones has only interior side lot lines, a side yard of not less than 1.8m is
required toward the lot line where no common wall is proposed.
