Some municipalities in other provinces do have provisions for extras floors to be permitted beyond regular zoning in exchange for a number of lower cost dedicated accessible units throughout the building that have covenants restricting them to tenants or owners (in the case of condos) with disability certificates.
This model has been successful in creating lower cost affordable and integrated housing for persons with disabilities.
However, it’s intended to function as an incentive, with accessible units designed in on each floor in exchange for more floors. It’s not a remediation.
