Accessory Buildings Regulations Survey

Introduction

White City is seeking feedback from residents on the Accessory Building Regulations across the community.

An accessory building is subordinate to and serves the principal building, meaning your home, or principal use of a lot. Accessory buildings must be subordinate in area, mass and extent to the principal building of your property. An accessory building should contribute to the comfort, convenience or necessity of occupants of the principal building and must be located on the same site as the principal building or use.

Every property in White City is able to build an accessory building, like a detached garage, shed over 100sqft, pool house or other type of detached structure separate from the principal building on a lot.  Based on feedback the town has received, we want to hear from residents across the entire community their thoughts on the town's current accessory regulations related to maximum floor coverage, building height and setbacks from the side of the property.

We're excited to hear your thoughts on the current regulations, or any changes that need to occur to meet the needs of you and your neighbours.
