Planning to add a secondary dwelling to your property?
The Comox Valley Regional District (CVRD) is offering free, pre-approved building plans developed in-house as a resource for homeowners. Designed to align with zoning and building requirements, these plans give you a clear, credible place to start—helping reduce design time and upfront costs.
Available for use on properties within the CVRD Electoral Area A, B, and C.
What These Plans Provide
A complete, pre-designed layout for a detached secondary dwelling—typically up to 90 m²—located on the same property as a principal residence.
These plans are intended as a starting point for your project. Site-specific requirements, zoning regulations, and servicing considerations will still apply.
One single-storey plan is available at launch, with additional options anticipated.
