Development & Investment Opportunity
Current Zoning — R558 Urban Residential
The property is currently zoned R558 under the City of Mission Consolidated Zoning Bylaw. R558 is one of Mission's four Urban Residential zones (alongside R930, R669, and R465) and is designed to allow a flexible range of low-density housing forms on a single lot.
Because the property is serviced by both municipal water and sanitary sewer and well exceeds 280 sq m, the bylaw permits up to four dwelling units here today — without any rezoning required. That means a buyer can hold the existing home with its mortgage-helper suite, or redevelop into a duplex, triplex, fourplex, or infill townhouse under the existing zoning.
Source: City of Mission Consolidated Zoning Bylaw, Section 901 — Urban Residential Zones (R930, R669, R558, R465).
What R558 Permits Today
- Single Family Dwelling — with one secondary suite (the existing setup)
- Duplex — two attached units
- Triplex — three attached units
- Fourplex — four attached units (max under R558)
- Infill Townhouse — small-scale townhouse form
- Accessory uses — accessory building/structure, hobby greenhouse, urban hen keeping, home occupation, boarding use, residential care
This 0.49-acre site is 21,127 sq ft / 1,962 sq m — about 3.5 times the R558 minimum lot size of 558 sq m. With 111 ft of frontage and 205 ft of depth, the parcel comfortably exceeds R558's 18 m width / 30 m depth minimums for non-corner lots. Subject to confirmation of servicing and surveyor layout, it offers real subdivision potential under existing zoning — while a buyer evaluates the longer-term Mid-Rise Plus rezoning path.
What "Mid-Rise Residential Plus" Means
Under the City of Mission's updated Official Community Plan, the previous patchwork of multi-unit residential designations was condensed into a smaller, clearer set. The base Mid-Rise Residential designation is intended to allow rowhouses, townhouses, or apartments up to four storeys.
The Mid-Rise Residential Plus designation that applies to 7958 Taulbut allows the same housing typologies as Mid-Rise Residential — but with the additional opportunity for height up to six storeys. The consolidation was designed to enable a seamless transition between compatible zones, simplifying the path from designation to permit.

What That Permits On This Lot
- Rowhouses — attached single-family homes in a row, fee-simple or strata.
- Townhouses — multi-unit, typically strata, with private entries.
- Low- & mid-rise apartments — purpose-built rental or strata.
- Up to 6 storeys in height under Mid-Rise Residential Plus.
- Compatible-zone alignment — the OCP and zoning bylaw have been re-aligned, smoothing the rezoning path.
