• Proposals of this nature could fill Delta with owners, not renters.

• This model is similar to laneway houses, but without the lane. Kelowna has a model called a "grow home" that is similar, but does not have the same "home behind a home" concept.

• School-age children in Delta have decreased since the 1970s. A model of this nature would allow younger

• While it would increase the amount of residents in a neighborhood, it would be similar to a home with a rental suite in terms of number of families and vehicles.
