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.

  • What type of sites will the City select? Is it possible that properties - whether commerical, multi-unit residential or single-family homes - will be rezoned without the property owners' consent?

    NBerry asked about 2 months ago

    Public engagement will help to inform site selection, but the City is firstly looking at highly developable land near amenities that can support transit ridership. With respect to 124 Street and Wihkwentowin (Oliver), this starts with land near the arterial roadways and within 400 metres of future LRT stops. 

    Administration hopes to connect with as many property owners as possible. A property could be excluded from rezoning where there is a strong rationale for doing so, such as active plans to rebuild, environmental contamination, or a desire to register a historic resource.
