Zoning eyed in rental squeeze

Should more rental
housing be made possible
through changes in North

Vancouver City’s zoning
bylaw?
This topic will be

discussed at a public meeting
to be held Tuesday, August
{l, in the City council
chamber at 7:30 p.m.

Submissions by

organizations and _siin-
dividuals are invited,
Alderman Ralph Hall,
committee chairman, told
the North Shore News. °

“As a social measure, the
City now permits in-law
Suites in single family zones
but with the current shortage
of rental accommodation
there are those who believe

even further steps should be
taken,” said Hall.

“In faci, Dr. Walter
Block, semior economist of
The Fraser Institute, in
material circulated to City
council members contends
that zonig 1s obsolete fo
the 1980's, and that
Canadian society wil) be far
better off with greater

reliance on free urban land
markets and less depen-
dency on govetnment zoning
end other forms of cen-

tralized land as planning:

schemes.”

“That is pretty powerful
stuff,” Hall commented, “but
perhaps the (ime has arrived
to consider alternatives to
the present system.”
