Common questions
How many units can I build in RUR zoning in Maple Ridge?
With a rear lane and outside a frequent-transit area, RUR allows up to 3 units on a 33 × 122 ft lot (urban infill residential); up to 4 units on a 50 × 122 ft lot (urban infill residential); up to 4 units on a 66 × 122 ft lot (urban infill residential). Your own lot's frontage, depth and location change the result.
What is FSR?
Floor space ratio (FSR) is a building’s total floor area divided by the lot area. An FSR of 1.0 on a 4,026 sq ft lot allows about 4,026 sq ft of floor area across all storeys. Some bylaws, such as Burnaby’s R1, set no FSR at all; there BuildHere shows an effective FSR worked out from the height, setback and lot coverage limits.
Where do these RUR rules come from?
From City of Maple Ridge Zoning Bylaw No. 7600-2019, Part 6 (Sections 605 to 611 and 627) and Part 4 (Sections 402.11, 402.24 and 402.29), 2026 office consolidation (to Bylaw 8119-2026) consolidation (rules approved 2026-10-15). Preliminary screening only. Verify with the City of Maple Ridge.
