What is a Garden Suite?  A garden suite is a legal, detached, ground-oriented suite located in the backyard of a property with a single-family home as its primary use. Creating a garden suite is another option for introducing a rental suite on your property where a secondary suite does not already exist. Property owners may convert an existing accessory building if it meets policy guidelines or build something new, and must go through an application process for approval and rezoning. Garden suites cannot be strata-titled.  The complete proposal is on-line at http://www.victoria.ca/assets/Departments/Planning~Development/Development~Services/Documents/garden-suites-guidelines.pdf
