The RMOW received a rezoning application for two contiguous parcels (5.2 hectares) of land located at 4500 Northlands Boulevard and 4711 Settebello Drive in October 2021.The application seeks a change in use from the current TA10 hotel zoning and RM43 zoning to a project-specific, residential-focused zoning including a combination of townhouse, low and mid-rise condominium development, and some commercial space.

The RMOW has established an enhanced planning process for this application, to add engagement and input opportunities beyond what is required under a typical rezoning application.

The enhanced process is made up of three phases:

1. Phase 1: Creating Guiding Principles
2. Phase 2: Developing Key Directions and Alternative Development Concepts
3. Phase 3: Direction to Proceed and draft bylaws.

View the Guiding Principles and Key Directives

Each phase has multiple touchpoints with Council, committees, stakeholders and the community, and opportunities for review and feedback on the project.

August 2025 Update

The project is nearing the conclusion of Phase 2.

In June 2022, the community was asked to provide feedback to identify the preferred elements in the alternative development concepts, to identify features and land uses that are missing and should be considered for inclusion, and to give input on community amenity and benefit priorities. This engagement lead to the creation of the Key Directions. The Key Directions aligned with the six Guiding Principles created through the Phase 1 engagement.

Fall 2025 consultation will focus on seeking input on the public, shared spaces and developer's proposed community amenity package.

Currently, the RMOW is working with the developer to shape how this neighborhood will look and feel, and how the project can contribute to the vibrancy and livability of Whistler.

We need your input to ensure the community's diverse voices are reflected in these negotiations.

Borrow a Councillor offers community members an opportunity to meet with Council members one-on-one for 30 minutes. Learn more about the Borrow a Councillor program.

At the conclusion of Phase 2 engagement, staff will return to Council to provide a summary of what we've heard. At this time, Council can determine if they are comfortable moving into Phase 3 of the project, which includes three bylaw readings and adoption of the bylaw, or to conduct further public consultation.
