Vernon BC approves a fairly substantial laneway housing project just south of the downtown area, touted as an affordable alternative for residents.

Vernon and the Okanagan in general is in a bit of a housing crisis at the moment, with significant affordability issues and a lack of affordable product on the market. These types of developments may become more popular in areas that are struggling with affordability

Vernon multi-density housing project applauded

The evolving residential landscape of Vernon was at the heart of development variance permit for eight row housing units on two lots at the corner of Mission Road and 16th Avenue.

While a laneway neighbour of the property called the density housing design “greedy,” city council endorsed the project as an affordable housing options for local residents.

The proposal calls for a multi-unit development on what is currently five individual lots at 1601 and 1603 Mission Road.

The development will consist of one single detached unit fronting on Mission Road, and eight row-housing units contained within two four-plex buildings, all fronting on 16th Ave.
