District of Ucluelet Zoning Amendment Bylaw No. 1345, 2024
In general terms, the purpose of this Bylaw is to amend the District of Ucluelet Zoning Bylaw No. 1160, 2013, to introduce a new single-family residential zone (R-1H) intended for traditional low-density single-family residential development, with accessory residential uses and no short-term vacation rentals. Notably, the R-1H zone would not permit Bed and Breakfast operations as a secondary use. This zone may be considered for future development projects and rezoning applications. Key changes in the R-1H zone compared to current R-1 regulations are intended to align with the Provincial Policy Manual and Site Standards for Small-Scale Multi-Unit Housing and include:
- An increased maximum height of 11 metres for principal buildings
- An increased maximum height of 8 metres for accessory dwelling units (ADUs)
- A reduced front setback requirement of 6 metres for both principal buildings and ADUs
- A reduced side yard setback of 1.2 metres for ADUs

District of Ucluelet Zoning Amendment Bylaw No. 1346, 2024
In general terms, the purpose of this Bylaw is to amend the District of Ucluelet Zoning Bylaw No. 1160, 2013, and bring it into alignment with sections 481.3 and 582.1 of the Local Government Act, which require municipalities to amend their zoning regulations to the Provincial Policy Manual and Site Standards for the provision of Small-Scale Multi-Unit Housing. The Local Government Act now requires municipalities to allow secondary suites or accessory dwelling units (ADUs) in all single-family zones to increase housing supply, create more diverse housing choices, and over time, contribute to more affordable housing. Because the residential zones in Ucluelet generally already allow a secondary suite and/or an accessory dwelling unit, the changes driven by this policy direction of the province are minor. Key proposed changes include amendments to:
- Subsection 408.1 (10) to eliminate the 3-metre setback requirement for ADUs
- Subsection 408.2 to permit an increase in the maximum height for ADUs to 8 metres
- Subsection 505.1 to reduce the required parking for a Duplex Dwelling to one per unit, as well as reduce the required parking for Single-Family Dwellings in instances where a Secondary Suite and/or ADU occur to one per unit
- Subsection R-6.1.1 (2) to allow either a secondary suite or an ADU for lots under 480m2 in area in the R-6 zone
