Centre-City Wîhkwêntôwin (Oliver) Node and 124 Street Corridor Priority Growth Area Rezoning

Get involved!

The City is pursuing proactive rezonings in Centre-City Wîhkwêntôwin (formerly Oliver) Node and the 124 Street Primary Corridor to help leverage transit investment and encourage more housing development and business investment in these important areas.

Not all land within the Wîhkwêntôwin (Oliver) Node and 124 Street Corridor will be rezoned. As outlined on the map below, the City recommends choosing sites along Jasper Avenue and 104 Avenue and along 124 Street between Jasper Avenue and 111 Avenue where policy in The City Plan and the forthcoming District Plans supports additional housing. As well as additional rezoning efforts around the future 124 Street Valley Line West LRT stop to support future mass transit ridership.

We are now collecting feedback to help inform which specific sites should be selected for rezoning and what standard zones within the new Zoning Bylaw should be applied to the chosen sites. This includes gathering input to help determine what zone modifiers should be used to guide the maximum heights and footprints of buildings to ensure they fit in with the surrounding neighbourhood and which buildings should have ground-floor, street-facing business space.

Rezoning Focus Area Map

13 days

Not all land within the Centre-City Wîhkwêntôwin Node and the 124 Street Primary Corridor (shown within the shaded black boundary line) will be rezoned. The City has identified focus areas (shown in the shaded orange boundary line) with lands it believes present the greatest redevelopment potential and would benefit most from proactive, City-initiated rezoning. Also outlined is the heritage area (shown in the shaded yellow boundary line), which will not be rezoned.

Use the following color-coded pins to provide your feedback on the proposed rezoning focus areas:

  • Green pin: To identify which sites in the area you think should be selected for rezoning to encourage more housing development and business opportunities. Sites identified outside the recommended focus areas may still be considered.  You may also use the green pin to identify which sites you think should not be rezoned and why. 

  • Blue pin: To indicate which sites located along arterial roads and/or within 200 to 400 metres of a mass transit station or significant intersection you think would be best suited for high-rise buildings (9+ storeys) if they were selected for rezoning.

  • Red pin: To show which sites you think should be required to have ground floor, street-facing businesses if they are selected for rezoning.

CLOSED: This map consultation has concluded.
