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:

January 2026 Update

On January 6, Council will be receiving the Phase 2 Council Engagement Summary for the 4500 Northlands project. Taking place September to October 2025, this phase of engagement sought feedback on the preliminary site concepts, how well they align with the Guiding Principles, and preferences for community amenities that could be delivered through the rezoning.

The Council report also includes a recommendation that Council directs staff to proceed with drafting the bylaws, if several conditions are followed that are outlined in the January 6 Council report.

For a shortened summary of the engagement, review the 2-page summary What We Heard report.

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, there are no input opportunities.

If or when the full rezoning application has been received, staff will bring the application to Council for review and request ‘direction to proceed’ to undertake a rezoning review.

This will then take us into Phase 3 community engagement and the preparation of bylaws will begin.

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.

The Applicant, Beedie Living, is developing the final pieces of the rezoning proposal and is continuing to engage with RMOW staff for guidance. If or when the full rezoning application has been received, staff will bring the application to Council for review and request ‘direction to proceed’ to undertake a rezoning review.

This will then take us into Phase 3 community engagement and the preparation of bylaws, legal agreements, and phased development considerations.
