Laneway houses may be coming to midtown
A new City of Toronto policy on laneway houses is being heralded by advocates as an important step in diversifying the city’s housing stock. A Toronto and East York Community Council meeting on June 6 approved changes to Toronto’s official plan and zoning bylaw that paves the way for homeowners whose properties back onto a laneway to build a detached two-storey rental unit or granny suite in their backyard.
