You can get around the minimum size requirement by having it portable. There is a guy here building I think 12'x8' or 10' homes but because they don't meet size requirements he is putting them on travel trailer frames. Vancouver recently changed the rules to allow small homes in the 400 sqft range. They are secondary homes on the property and are intended to be used as rentals to help the owners pay the mortgages. When you're paying 1,000,000 on average for a modest home people are pretty desperate to get additional income and to have somewhere cheap enough to live.
