Minimum spaces between houses in Vancouver?

I was wondering if there are any regulations about the amount of space between two houses in Van? I saw a corner lot where they tore down 1 house to build 2. You can literally walk across the roofs without jumping.

So is there a min. amount of space required between houses? I would assume so since it could be a fire issue no?

Cities usually have what is called a setback, where you can't build a certain distance from the property line. In big cities, these are often very small, as they want to maintain high density.
