Official title: New Garage with Accessory Dwelling Construction 202 Otter street
A Banff homeowner wants to build a three-car garage with a two-bedroom apartment above it at 202 Otter Street. The project involves excavation, foundation work, and constructing a standalone building. Construction is planned to start May 15, 2025.
Why This Matters
Live near 202 Otter Street in Banff? Construction noise and traffic could affect your daily routine. This also shows how accessory dwelling units are being added in the townsite—something that could affect housing availability and neighbourhood character.
What Could Change

Key Issues
- Should this garage with accessory dwelling be approved for construction in Banff National Park?
