Roy L Hales/ Cortes Currents - Close to 60 Cortes Island residents turned out for the Zoning Bylaw Review Meeting in Manson's Hall on Thursday, September 12th. The following article consists of audio clips of the main speakers, taken at the meeting, and an interview with Regional Director Mark Vonesch the following morning.   Mark Vonesch: "Leading up to it, I think there was a little bit of tension in the air. ‘What's going to happen?' ‘How are we going to change our zoning in a way that's good for Cortes and  protecting what we have here, but also making room for more housing  and addressing the housing challenges that we face?'”   “I think the key takeaway is this is a process that we're still in the middle of. There's still lots of opportunity for input. We've had four meetings leading up to this. Last night's meeting was about presenting the summary of the findings from the previous meetings, and giving us a sense of what the Zoning Bylaw draft is going to look like.” “The biggest shift, based on the input from the community, is that people are looking to increase density on rural residential lots."  Annie Girdler, a planner with the Strathcona Regional District (SRD), explained, "We've also added the potential for an additional dwelling unit on lots greater than one hectare. Previously a residential property was permitted a single dwelling and one secondary suite or an additional dwelling unit.  The proposed change is that this property would now be allowed to have a secondary suite AND an additional dwelling unit." Another proposal is to increase in the maximum size of additional dwellings from about 650 to about 840 square feet. Meredith Starkey, Manager of Planning and Parks for the SRD, stated, "The secondary units were previously called ‘Granny Flats' in some places because it's intended for your parents, in-laws or a renter or a couple etc, but our world is changing. There may be more families who want to live in a secondary dwelling. So, that's certainly a possibility."      Annie Girdler: "We've also added a new provision on clustered housing and how to accomplish that. We've also removed regulations that are not in the SRD's jurisdiction to enforce. Lastly, we've consolidated or removed zones that were either not in use or they were duplicate zones." "The current Zoning Bylaw is from 2002,  and as a legislated document, there's several requirements under the Local Government Act that a Zoning Bylaw has to meet.  Many of those requirements are new since 2002. So a review is necessary to ensure that our bylaw meets provincial requirements and is legal." "The goal is to bring the Zoning Bylaw into better alignment with your Official Community Plan (OCP). We'll also be removing or correcting outdated regulations, updating some of the terms with new language that's consistent, and also addressing some of the modern challenges, which we've heard a lot about." ”Our goal for this phase of the project is to hear your feedback as a community. It'll give us a chance to either confirm that the provisions look how they should, or revise as necessary if we were way off. This revision process will be ongoing, and then we'll move on to the regular bylaw referrals process which will involve consultation with other government agencies, other levels of government, and First Nations.  Once that phase is  complete, we can move on to the bylaw adoption process. At that time we will have a formal public hearing and that will be the last opportunity to provide public input on a draft bylaw."

Let's start with the announcement yesterday from Chris Bishop allowing people to build small granny flats without requiring consent. It's followed through, the coalition government, on its promise to cut red tape around the resource consent process. The announcement was made yesterday, and they said it will be easier for people to put a granny flat in their backyard without having to go through the hoohah of a costly consent process.   Housing Minister Chris Bishop said there are already some councils in the country that allow for that but there's a lack of consistency, so some councils do, some don't. Thus, the proposal for a national environmental standard which would apply nationwide, and which could come into force more quickly.    Winston Peters said yesterday that unlocking the space in the backyards of families will open the door to a new way of living. Oldies, you might want to bring them closer to you if they're no longer able to live in their own home, but not ready for a rest home, a granny flat out the back would be perfect. University aged kids who want a little bit of independence but don't want to move away from home. You know the drill.   However, New Zealand Certified Builders CEO Malcolm Fleming, who spoke to Early Edition this morning, sounded a note of caution. He says removing consents does take away safeguards.   “What it also boils down to is whether a homeowner wishes to save the cost of a building consent, which MBIE is indicating their documents sits between $2000 and $5000 range on a $ 350K build, while also removing the ongoing safeguard of having the council share responsibility when build failures may arise in the future, and some homeowners may see as a viable trade off, others may not.”  Yes, Malcolm, sure, I would love to know when any council ever around the country has said, oh my goodness, my bad. We shouldn't have given that consent here. Let us fix it at no cost to you. We'll do it immediately. The safeguards he's talking about, what exactly are they? When you've applied for resource consent, do they say no no no, don't do that, you're going to be in a world of trouble. Or do they give you the consent and then when things go pear shaped, they say sorry, we shouldn't have given it to you, we'll repair it. I can't really see how that has safeguarded many builders in the past. I'd love to know if that is if that is the case.   I've never tried to build anything, for very good reason. Anytime I've done renovations on the house we went through our project manager and builders, and it worked a treat, there were no problems whatsoever. So I can see it working for our family later down the track though as the little ones grow into teenagers. I can imagine them colonising my downstairs and Nana being booted out of the two-story apartment I'm in and plonked into a wee granny flat out on the back section. But can you see it working for you?   And I'm really interested because there's been a bit of pushback through texts, through emails from people saying that consent process is necessary. I wouldn't have thought it was for a small dwelling out the back. I thought this was the very thing that people were railing against; the nanny state interfering. But a number of people are saying no, it really does provide a valuable safeguard, so I would very much like to hear from those who know far more than I do about this. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Government promises “granny flats” of 60 square metres or less will be easier to build after planning changes that will force councils to permit small dwellings on rural and residential zones without resource consent. Making it easier to build granny flats was part of NZ First's coalition agreement with National. NZ First leader Winston Peters, taking over as Acting Prime Minister while Christopher Luxon is in Japan, used Monday's post-Cabinet press conference to announce consultation on changes that would fulfil that policy promise. “Making it easier to build granny flats will make it more affordable for families to live the way that suits them best,” Peters said. “Over a quarter of households that do not own their home spend more than 40 per cent of their income on housing. High housing costs have a greater impact on Māori, Pasifika, and people with disabilities, as well as seniors - so unlocking the space in the backyards of family members opens the door to new ways of living. “We know granny flats are a great option for seniors, but they're also increasingly popular with other families such as those who want homes where their university-age children can live at home but maintain some privacy and independence, or families who want to provide extra support to a loved one,” he said. Feedback's being sought on the proposed change. Certified Builders Chief Executive Malcolm Fleming told Mike Hosking that it's good that proposed designs are required to meet the building code.   But he says there's no checking to ensure designs and constructions adhere to the building code, which isn't such a good thing.  LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Granny Flats & Rooming Houses – heard these names before? I'm sure you would've if you are a keen observer and part of the property market. The question is, in the given scenario of the market – are granny flats and converted rooming houses a bad idea? In this episode, me and Cheryl discuss the pros and cons of granny flats and converted rooming houses as investment properties. There is nothing wrong in having granny flats as they can provide high rental yields, but simultaneously; the upfront costs and limited financing options can make them less profitable than they seem. Similarly, converted rooming houses can offer increased rental income, but the high operational costs and potential for low occupancy rates can eat into profits. It is advised to consider alternative strategies, such as building a second house on a splitter block or converting existing properties with existing equity.

La Crosse Mayor Mitch Reynolds in studio discussing pickleball and beer — which is sort of on the council agenda — bringing developers into the city — as all those vacant box stores are filling up — and approving accessory dwelling units. We began the show, however, asking Reynolds who he thinks the most popular athlete in the U.S. is right now, a few days from the Super Bowl. After that (5:30), we got into some city council stuff, just touching the pickleball conversation for a bit, before discussing accessory dwelling units (ADUs or granny flats or in-law suites — basically converting your garage that isn't attached into a living space. And, for some reason, we also worked in chicken coupe regulations into that conversation. Then we started to get into vacant buildings in La Crosse (14:20). There used to be three vacant Shopkos, a vacant K-Mart and vacant box stores in the Valley View Mall. But then an argument about how to zone areas to better attract developers to the city.  The second half of the show (22:20), we got into the conversation about pickleball, and a company converting the Bridgeview Plaza Shopko into a pickleball facility and wants a liquor license — but a city committee last week couldn't approve it. Quickly, we discussed the probability that the school district would have vacant buildings and if the city would want one of them.  Lastly, we talked about Wisconsin Gov. Tony Every state of the state address and one of those workforce topics being childcare, and how the city continues to see that as a need, though the conversation in the state legislature has died down. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In the ever-evolving world of real estate investment, there are intriguing options beyond the traditional. Imagine properties designed for co-living, rooming houses, dual occupancy homes, and duplexes – each offering unique potential for savvy investors. Co-living properties, also known as rooming houses, micro apartments, or micro units, offer a distinct living arrangement. They have gained popularity as an alternative to traditional shared accommodations. Co-living spaces vary widely, and there's no standardized regulation governing them. It's essential to understand the local regulations if you plan to invest in this niche. One of the challenges with co-living properties is navigating the regulatory landscape. In some cases, councils may have misconceptions about these properties, leading to initial resistance. However, co-living spaces present a significant opportunity for investors, especially as interest rates rise and people seek ways to maximize yields.Dual occupancy properties involve splitting a single property into two separate living spaces, typically under the same roof line. These homes are more accessible to tenant out compared to larger rooming houses. They are often occupied by families and couples. Duplexes consist of two separate living units, making them a convenient choice for investors. They are less likely to experience vacancies due to attracting two typical families. However, they may require a substantial upfront investment. Ultimately, the key to successful real estate investment is thorough research and aligning your strategy with your long-term financial objectives. Whether you opt for co-living properties, dual occupancy, or duplexes, make sure you understand the market dynamics, local regulations, and potential risks before diving into the world of real estate investing. To listen to the full episode, be sure to check out the podcast or source where this information was originally discussed. Episode Highlights:00:00 Welcome to Helpmebuy Property Podcast01:55 Co-living Spaces and Their Regulations in Australia06:20 The Pros and Cons of Converted Rooming Houses as Investment Properties10:23 Purpose-built Shared Accommodation Investments15:21 Property Management Fees and Occupancy Types21:28 Dual Occupancy Properties and Granny Flats in Australia25:22 Duplexes and Their Potential for Investment30:00 Duplexes Vs.

Addressing the country's housing shortage presents a viable solution wherein homeowners can construct small dwellings, commonly known as granny flats, on their spacious plots of land and subsequently lease them out. A recent report by Blackfort and CoreLogic, unveiled this week, suggests that the potential for constructing six and a half million such additional housing units exists in just the metropolitan areas of Melbourne, Sydney, and Brisbane. Providing insight into this innovative approach is Muthu Ramachandran, a seasoned professional in Civil Engineering actively engaged in the construction of granny flats in Sydney. Produced by RaySel. - நாட்டில் நிலவும் வீடு பற்றாக்குறைக்கு ஒரு தீர்வு – வீடு இருக்கின்றவர்கள் – தங்களுக்குள்ள பெரிய நிலத்தில் Grannyflat எனப்படும் சிறிய வீடு ஒன்றை கட்டி வாடகைக்கு விடலாம் என்பது.

Meet Paul Wells, an experience semi-retired real estate developer and leader in the ADU movement.What's an ADU, you ask? It's an Accessory Dwelling Unit.Granny Flats, Casitas, Mother-in-Law Units, Backyard Houses, Guest Houses - whatever you'd like to call them, Paul has seen and done it all in the ADU space, and we're extremely fortunate to have had Paul on the podcast for an informative chat about ADUs.The laws and the policies that bring ADU to life are still developing every day. Some municipalities actively encourage ADUs, while others are still working out their opinions.Paul and Rory have an excellent conversation about where ADUs are working quite well (California and Colorado, for example), helping solve housing shortages, barriers of entry, retaining generational wealth, and supplying ways for generations to remain together on the same plots of land.
