\/>\n00:00:07.120 talking about how to legalize your<br \/>\n00:00:08.480 existing illegal Suite in Calgary under<br \/>\n00:00:11.080 the city of Calgary&#8217;s uh Suite amnesty<br \/>\n00:00:13.480 program uh this program currently runs<br \/>\n00:00:15.559 until the end of 2026 and it allows<br \/>\n00:00:18.439 homeowners or investors with an existing<br \/>\n00:00:20.439 illegal Suite uh to legalize their<br \/>\n00:00:22.640 basement Suite under a relaxed set of<br \/>\n00:00:24.320 requirements uh I&#8217;m going to start start<br \/>\n00:00:26.359 off by talking about some of the<br \/>\n00:00:27.480 exterior kind of big picture<br \/>\n00:00:28.800 requirements the city is going to look<br \/>\n00:00:30.199 at uh and then we&#8217;ll go into the<br \/>\n00:00:31.920 interior um building requirements that<br \/>\n00:00:34.680 the inspector is going to want to see<br \/>\n00:00:37.110 [Music]<br \/>\n00:00:41.120 okay um starting off let&#8217;s go with the<br \/>\n00:00:43.719 uh start with the lot width so this is<br \/>\n00:00:46.039 going to apply to a detach property okay<br \/>\n00:00:48.920 uh if you have a detach property the<br \/>\n00:00:50.440 minimum lot width is 9 M uh however if<br \/>\n00:00:54.079 you have the if you meet a minimum of 7<br \/>\n00:00:56.000 and 1\/2 M um and and you have a corner<br \/>\n00:00:59.640 lot or if you have a property with a<br \/>\n00:01:01.519 back alley and you can provide three or<br \/>\n00:01:03.559 more parking spots um then you can still<br \/>\n00:01:06.159 um get away get away by um meeting these<br \/>\n00:01:08.840 requirements<br \/>\n00:01:10.479 okay um in the case of a semi detached<br \/>\n00:01:13.280 property so you buy a half duplex okay<br \/>\n00:01:15.720 so we&#8217;re looking at a semi detach now<br \/>\n00:01:18.680 this 9 M lot width requirement<br \/>\n00:01:21.560 essentially becomes 6 M okay so that<br \/>\n00:01:25.040 gives you a bit more um leway uh as far<br \/>\n00:01:28.640 as parking requirements go as long as<br \/>\n00:01:30.680 you meet your law width requirements and<br \/>\n00:01:33.159 you can provide two parking spots so one<br \/>\n00:01:35.200 for your main floor and one for your<br \/>\n00:01:37.520 basement Suite um you should have no<br \/>\n00:01:39.439 issues getting approved okay uh the two<br \/>\n00:01:42.159 things that the city is going to require<br \/>\n00:01:44.799 essentially before you start if you<br \/>\n00:01:47.079 can&#8217;t meet any of these requirements<br \/>\n00:01:48.520 you&#8217;re going to go to a develop<br \/>\n00:01:50.600 development permit so we&#8217;re going to<br \/>\n00:01:52.280 call it a DP so if you can&#8217;t meet any of<br \/>\n00:01:55.079 these you&#8217;re going to apply for a DP and<br \/>\n00:01:56.840 this would take 6 to8 weeks to to<br \/>\n00:01:59.920 complete and once you get approval for<br \/>\n00:02:01.960 your DP you&#8217;re going to move on to your<br \/>\n00:02:04.280 building<br \/>\n00:02:06.000 permit uh which is going to cover all<br \/>\n00:02:08.160 the stuff that you need to do on the<br \/>\n00:02:09.280 interior okay now let&#8217;s move on to the<br \/>\n00:02:11.080 interior of<br \/>\n00:02:12.840 [Music]<br \/>\n00:02:16.640 things okay now let&#8217;s move on to the<br \/>\n00:02:18.840 interior of the property and look at<br \/>\n00:02:20.440 what the city is going to require to<br \/>\n00:02:22.040 legalize your existing illegal Suite so<br \/>\n00:02:24.720 the first things first would be your<br \/>\n00:02:25.959 egress windows so the openable a area of<br \/>\n00:02:30.200 your window has to be at least 35 square<br \/>\n00:02:33.440 m with no Dimension less than 38 CM so<br \/>\n00:02:37.239 that&#8217;s roughly 15 in um minimum<br \/>\n00:02:40.080 dimension on either side okay um you<br \/>\n00:02:42.840 also do require a 30-in window well<br \/>\n00:02:45.120 projection uh especially if your window<br \/>\n00:02:46.720 is below grade so if you have an older<br \/>\n00:02:49.040 style window that&#8217;s egress however it&#8217;s<br \/>\n00:02:50.920 done a while back your window well might<br \/>\n00:02:52.720 not be up to code today so just keep<br \/>\n00:02:54.519 that in mind okay uh the next thing<br \/>\n00:02:56.879 would be your interconnected smoke and<br \/>\n00:02:59.159 carbon monoxide side alarms uh so CD<br \/>\n00:03:01.720 does require that the smoke alarms are<br \/>\n00:03:03.840 hardwired between each unit and that<br \/>\n00:03:06.280 they are interconnected okay U so that<br \/>\n00:03:09.040 when it goes off in one unit it also um<br \/>\n00:03:11.200 sounds the alarm in the other unit and<br \/>\n00:03:13.799 they do require these in specific places<br \/>\n00:03:15.720 such as the mechanical room along and if<br \/>\n00:03:18.720 you have if you have a shared hallway or<br \/>\n00:03:20.360 stairwell uh they do require a smoke<br \/>\n00:03:23.720 detector there as well and there are a<br \/>\n00:03:25.560 few other spots um typically your<br \/>\n00:03:27.239 electrician should be able to guide you<br \/>\n00:03:28.799 on where these would go to meet the<br \/>\n00:03:30.599 current code okay uh the next one would<br \/>\n00:03:33.120 be drywalling your walls and ceiling<br \/>\n00:03:35.239 often when we walk into an illegal Suite<br \/>\n00:03:36.959 we do see that especially in older<br \/>\n00:03:38.519 property sometimes there&#8217;s wood paneling<br \/>\n00:03:40.239 on the walls and ceilings or there&#8217;s<br \/>\n00:03:42.599 some sort of shiplap thing going on um<br \/>\n00:03:45.920 if there&#8217;s no drywall Behind these uh<br \/>\n00:03:47.920 you would have to drywall all your walls<br \/>\n00:03:49.680 and ceiling and this does include the<br \/>\n00:03:52.120 mechanical room as well and which is<br \/>\n00:03:53.879 often an area that is not drywalled in<br \/>\n00:03:56.599 most of the properties that we see um so<br \/>\n00:03:58.879 do factor that into your budget as well<br \/>\n00:04:01.519 you do have to drive all those<br \/>\n00:04:03.640 spaces the next one would be a protected<br \/>\n00:04:06.879 entrance or exit so if you have a<br \/>\n00:04:09.599 property where you have a separate<br \/>\n00:04:10.920 entrance for your basement Suite so call<br \/>\n00:04:12.599 it you have a rear entrance that&#8217;s kind<br \/>\n00:04:14.159 of dug out U or you have a side entry<br \/>\n00:04:16.680 and you do have a window above that um<br \/>\n00:04:19.079 entry exit way you do you do have to<br \/>\n00:04:21.519 provide some sort of like cancel weever<br \/>\n00:04:22.919 structure or like a a protected<br \/>\n00:04:25.840 protected way to exit the suite in the<br \/>\n00:04:28.440 event that there&#8217;s a fire and the the<br \/>\n00:04:30.639 glass above the exit ends up breaking um<br \/>\n00:04:33.880 so yeah these are kind of the main<br \/>\n00:04:34.960 things that the city is going to be<br \/>\n00:04:35.880 looking for um these are fairly straight<br \/>\n00:04:37.680 forward for the most part and if you<br \/>\n00:04:38.960 need any assistance feel free to reach<br \/>\n00:04:40.400 out to<br \/>\n00:04:45.960 us<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Are you curious how to legalize your
