Belcarra’s zoning bylaw contains an accessory secondary-suite use, but the site’s rules engine intentionally does not infer a broad multiplex entitlement from that alone.
Select a B.C. property to check the parcel, available zoning and suite-planning data.
The automated checker cannot confirm all zoning amendments, overlays, lot restrictions, servicing or building permits. Free human property-review requests are currently paused.
See the official verification steps →Start with the municipality and parcel area. The manual check stays open here, but the questions are split into 4 short steps so you do not have to scroll through everything at once.
Four short steps. Answer what you know and choose “Not sure” for anything you have not checked.
Belcarra has unusually clear local rules for an internal accessory secondary suite and an accessory coach house. Both are distinct from a general multiplex entitlement and both depend on sewage-disposal approval.
No. They are separate accessory uses with separate size/form rules, and the exact zoning and sewage-disposal approval still have to be checked.
Sewage-disposal/septic eligibility. The local bylaw makes that an express condition for both suite and coach-house uses.
SITE-SPECIFIC PROPOSAL — village-wide entitlement unverified The proposed CD-1/Bylaw 643 rezoning at 3641 Kelly Avenue concerns that property, not general permission for six dwellings elsewhere in Belcarra. An agenda or public notice is not proof of adopted zoning; the Village cautions that its online bylaw copies may omit amendments and are not certified legal copies.
Still to verify: Obtain any signed/adopted Bylaw 643, the operative Zoning Bylaw 510 and mapped designation; confirm whether a suite or coach house is eligible on this particular lot, including sewage disposal and permits.
Municipal source research, not comprehensive certification or a permit. Official source links remain at the bottom of this page.
A December 2025 municipal council housing report describes existing RS-1 residential zoning as allowing an accessory secondary suite or coach house as alternatives, and describes distinct RM-zone conditions. The report is a municipal zoning summary rather than a certified consolidated bylaw; confirm the current adopted zoning text and lot map before applying any numeric limits.
Source review: October 9, 2026. This is an informational bylaw checkpoint, not a parcel-specific approval. Verify enacted amendments, zone maps, registered title constraints, servicing and permits with the municipality.
Official-source finding: A July 10, 2026 municipal notice identifies Zoning Amendment Bylaw 643 as scheduled for first three readings, not proof of final adoption.
Not yet cleared: Bylaw 643 concerns only the proposed 3641 Kelly Avenue CD-1 rezoning, not village-wide SSMUH. Verify any adopted text for those parcels; review Bylaw 510 for general suite and coach-house rules.
Evidence status: UNRESOLVED ADOPTION. This is not a complete adopted-bylaw, zoning-map, appeal or property-specific approval determination.
Status: HOLD — final adoption not substantiated. The Village published a July 10, 2026 notice for consideration of first three readings of Zoning Bylaw 510 Amendment 643. A notice of contemplated readings does not demonstrate fourth reading/final adoption. Do not replace the operative adopted zoning with the proposed schedule.
What remains: Verify the proposed 3641 Kelly Avenue CD-1 site-specific amendment independently; it does not establish a village-wide density policy. For other lots, consult current Bylaw 510, zone maps, servicing and permits.
Source: Official July 2026 readings notice; full link listed under Official sources. No property-specific building, zoning or planning approval is implied.
Status: SITE-SPECIFIC PROPOSAL — adoption not established. The July 27, 2026 Council agenda identifies Zoning Amendment Bylaw 643 as a proposed CD-1 rezoning for two parcels at 3641 Kelly Avenue (PIDs 010-833-021 and 010-833-048), potentially allowing up to three duplexes (six principal dwelling units) on THAT site only. The staff report requires prior lot consolidation and development conditions before adoption. This is NOT a village-wide six-unit permission. The July 13 signed minutes adopted separate Bylaws 644–646, not Bylaw 643.
Still unverified: No signed adoption instrument, later minute approving Bylaw 643, effective date or consolidated CD-1 zoning-map entry was confirmed. Any final approval would be specific to 3641 Kelly Avenue; village-wide secondary-suite/coach-house permissions must instead be read from the currently adopted Bylaw 510 and current zone map.
Official document: read the municipal evidence. This summary does not certify all later legal amendments or permit approval for any particular property.
Guide verification: Targeted official-source check (12 October 2026). The key claim below was compared with a linked primary municipal source; this is not a complete up-to-date bylaw, zoning-map or parcel approval review.
Property confidence: Not assessed. City-wide guidance does not confirm permission for a particular parcel. Check official zoning, overlays and permits. How verification works →
Reviewed September 28, 2026. These links are the planning starting point; current parcel zoning, title constraints, servicing and permit requirements can still change the answer.
Primary-source check · 12 October 2026: Secondary suite use is internal to principal building, subject to area/sewage conditions; coach house is separate. Official evidence ↗ Verification limit: Older 2021 consolidated PDF may not incorporate subsequent 2025/26 changes; latest adopted amendments require reconciliation.
Batch 1 evidence follow-up · 12 October 2026: The 2021 Bylaw 510 consolidation is not a complete 2026 legal register. The municipality issued a July 10, 2026 notice of readings for site-specific Amendment No. 643 (3641 Kelly Avenue); final enactment has not been established. Do not infer proposed wording has been adopted. Official record ↗
