House #1 – this is a large/deep lot, but the laneway house at the maximum size leaves no exterior parking room, so 25% or even 50% of the laneway house is used for parking. With the the new rules, you can park a car or two outdoors at the laneway, and that means more “living space” for the laneway house.
House #2 – with the new rules, the proponent here – even with a smaller lot – can have a fairly large laneway house.
The fine print is HERE.
