The Squamish-Lillooet Regional District received a zoning amendment application for WedgeWoods Estates to permit additional subdivision of existing Strata Lot 12 into 6 non-market single family lots (with one remainder lot), and subdivision of Strata Lot 108 to create 12 additional market lots. All proposed new lots would be required to have a minimum of one covenanted long-term rental unit in either a secondary suite within the principal building or an auxiliary dwelling unit within a carriage house. An additional component of this application would see the remainder of DL 2247 on the west side of Highway 99 contributed to the SLRD for a community use. This proposed development requires an increase in permitted density from 108 lots to 126 lots and would complete the present and future development potential of WedgeWoods.
