This is a terrible idea…

This is a terrible idea. Eliminating the angular plane restriction and the minimum separation means that a neighbor could build a large laneway suite that looks directly into the yard and house of their neighbour. There should be a minimum lot size and distance away from the house to eliminate over crowding, privacy issues, blockages of sunlight and sky view. Also, no one who is renting out a laneway house is doing it for less than 5-6K a month. This does not help with the housing issues in our city. PLEASE do not let this go through. It does not make sense and will be terrible for high density urban areas.
