SUPREME Court of Appeal has upheld a District of North Vancouver amendment bylaw adopted in July legalizing in- law suites in the municipality. lu a decision made Thursday, three judges overruled a decision made last year by Madam Justice Mary Southin that quashed the municipality's bylaw bid to zone on the basis of single-family oc- - cupancy relationships rather than on the basis of building use. North Vancouver lawyer Peter Faminow argued it was reason- able for the municipality to restrict (he number of suites, but not who can live in them. But the B.C. Supreme Court of Appeal ruled that it is reasonable for the district to extend its zoning bylaw. The creation of inlaw suites by the district is part of a two- pronged attempt by the district te control the proliferation of sec- ondary suite use'in single-family zoned areas throughout the municipality.
