This may be slightly expanding the scope of the bill, however, a building code amendment to allow single-stairs buildings similar to the British Columbia amendment from August 2024, would significantly increase the ability to build infill apartment buildings to address the "missing middle" problem.
A second staircase in a 3 storey or 4 storey infill building can make the whole project non-viable by removing too high a percentage of potential living space.
