The no-consent granny flat law changes came in this week. That means you can build an up-to-70sqm dwelling in your backyard without having to ask the council if you're allowed to. Getting one set up on your property would set you back at least $200,000, but the question on minds of anyone with enough space for something like this is - how much value will it add? They can be rented out for a bit of passive income - but it may not be worth the trouble of getting it fit to rent. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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.

The government is moving ahead with one of it's policy agreements with New Zealand First, making it easier to put up granny flats or small structures in residential and rural areas. Lillian Hanly speaks to Lisa Owen.
Backyard granny flats may soon be much easier to build in a move from the government to scrap consents for that type of building. Housing Minister Chris Bishop spoke to Corin Dann.
There's a bit of mixed messaging surrounding the granny flat proposal, but it's mostly being received well. The Government's new discussion document proposes allowing small structures up to 60 square metres to be built without resource consents. It's part of efforts to make it easier and more affordable for families to live the way that suits them. Combined Building Supplies Chairperson Carl Taylor told Mike Hosking that it's unclear if an engineer's report is still required. But, he says, assuming the granny flats still need to meet the building code, there shouldn't be too much to be concerned about. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Government's proposing changes to the Resource Management Act and the Building Act – to help make it easier to build granny flats. This follows a commitment in the National-NZ First coalition agreement, which requires the government to " Make it easier to build granny flats or other small structures up to 60 square metres, requiring only an engineer's report". Housing Minister Chris Bishop told Heather du Plessis-Allan “I think it's going to appeal to a lot of different people – it's about housing supply.” Bishop said “These are structures designed to get more people into warm, dry houses.” LISTEN ABOVE.

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. Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane நகரங்களில் மட்டுமே இப்படி ஆறரை லட்சம் வீடுகள் கட்ட முடியும் என்று Blackfort and CoreLogic எனும் நிறுவனம் இந்த வாரம் வெளியிட்ட தனது அறிக்கையில் கூறுகிறது. இந்த யோசனை குறித்து சிட்னியில் Grannyflat கட்டித் தரும் பணியில் ஈடுபடும் Civil Engineering பின்னணிகொண்ட முத்து ராமச்சந்திரன் அவர்கள் விளக்குகிறார். அவரோடு உரையாடுகிறார் றைசெல்.
The Midway Rising project at the site of the San Diego Sports Arena has changed their plan on housing and San Diego City Council representatives are angry! We also discuss El Cajon ADUs, Escondido Cannabis, new CA Senator Laphonza Butler, and Gavin Newsom vetoing UE benefits for striking workers. It's Wednesday, October 4, 2023. Here's what John Riley thinks: Midway Rising Dumps Middle Income Homes, Hotel The San Diego Sports Arena construction project now has a few changes. Due to mortgage rates and other economic conditions, they are dropping 2,500 “middle income” housing units and replacing them with “market rate” housing. What do you think? Is this a betrayal of the deal made with the City of San Diego? https://www.sandiegouniontribune.com/business/story/2023-10-02/midway-rising-scraps-hotel-and-middle-income-homes-from-sports-arena-project El Cajon Housing Crisis Fix? Mayor Bill Wells and the City Council have a plan to expand Granny Flats, aka Accessory Dwelling Units. This should be a great program to provide more affordable housing, right? Their plan will only benefit 6 property owners. Why not just deregulate construction? https://www.sandiegouniontribune.com/communities/east-county/el-cajon/story/2023-10-02/el-cajon-approves-600-000-for-adu-loan-program-to-increase-affordable-living-options California Governor Gavin Newsom Vetoes Unemployment Pay for Striking Workers Should striking workers be eligible for Unemployment Benefits? Gavin Newsom vetoed a plan to do just that, but not for the reasons you might think. https://timesofsandiego.com/politics/2023/09/30/gov-newsom-vetoes-bill-offering-unemployment-pay-to-strikers/ Escondido Considers Cannabis Tax, Hotel Tax, Parcel Tax There is trouble with the City of Escondido's budget. They need to raise revenue and/or reduce expenses to erase their structural deficit. The city is conducting a survey to see if locals would consider allowing cannabis dispensaries so the city can enjoy a special tax. They are also considering a Transient Occupancy Tax and a Parcel Tax. Escondido voters have already rejected a Sales Tax increase. https://thecoastnews.com/escondido-survey-to-gauge-public-interest-in-cannabis-other-taxes/ Laphonza Butler to replace Dianne Feinstein as California Senator Laphonza who? This progressive activist has been appointed by Gavin Newsom to replace the recently deceased Dianne Feinstein.

With a background in Nuclear Physics, Applied Mathematics, and a long and distinguished former career in Investment Banking and Software Design, Charles is uniquely positioned in keeping project costs to a minimum whilst reducing risk and adding value to clients' property and maximising their return on investment.

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. They discuss the benefits of having professionals that understand the process of working with a city and a county, not just to get building permits, but to create effective and efficient designs that makes sense to that municipalities involved.Fast forward to about 28 minutes into the episode, and you'll hear Paul detail the steps and questions that he asks all of the people who contact him asking: "I'd like to build an ADU - where do I start." It's a fascinating list of questions and considerations! In this episode, we talk about:-- What is an Accessory Dwelling Unit?-- How Paul stumbled into the ADU world-- What world events caused Paul to pivot into real estate full-time-- How massive action can lead to massive success-- Paul's success with foreclosure and "subject to existing financing" investing-- The value of mentorships-- The 4 primary types of ADUs (+ a bonus type - Fonzie Flats!)-- The big roadblocks to building ADUs, even where it makes perfect sense-- Why it's important to learn the ADU regulations for your city and county-- Why should a community turn around and actually embrace ADUs?-- Multi-generational living and how ADUs might be a better option than senior livingGetting in touch with Paul:Paul on Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/paul.wells.96387Paul on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/coloradopaul007/ADU Class - aduclass.comEmail Paul - workingcolorado@gmail.comJoin Jason Muth and Attorney / Broker Rory Gill of NextHome Titletown and UrbanVillage Legal in Boston, Massachusetts for another episode of The Real Estate Law Podcast!#realestatepodcast #nexthome #humansoverhouses #realestate #realestateinvesting #grannyflat #realestatelaw #accessorydwellingunit #building #adu #casita #guesthouse #backyardhouse #adurules_____________________The Real Estate Law Podcast is hosted by Jason Muth and Attorney / Broker Rory Gill.This podcast and these show notes are not legal advice, but we hope you find both entertaining and informative.You can follow our sponsors here:NextHome Titletown Real Estate on InstagramNextHome Titletown Real Estate on FacebookNextHome Titletown Real Estate on LinkedInAttorney Rory Gill on LinkedInThe Real Estate Law Podcast, because real estate is more than just pretty pictures and law goes well beyond the paperwork and courtroom arguments.Support the show (https://www.urbanvillagelegal.com)
