The Resort Municipality of Whistler (RMOW) is seeking Proposals from qualified Proponents to provide design, costing and real estate valuation services for the “Whistler Small-Scale Multi-Unit Housing Bylaw Testing” (the Project). The Project aims to test the Small-Scale Multi-Unit Housing (SSMUH) Bylaw by analyzing a number of representative development scenarios for small scale multi-unit housing on sites currently zoned for single-family homes, suites, and duplexes within restricted SSMUH zones.
The project approach is to engage with up to three teams of professionals with relevant experience to test the regulations of the adopted bylaw, for both physical design and buildability and financial feasibility. Financial modeling and evaluation will be completed under a separate contract.
Each team of qualified Proponents must include the following three members: an architect or designer, a builder or contractor, and a realtor or broker. The Project will be managed by a dedicated RMOW Planner, with support from the RMOW’s Manager of Planning – Projects and Planning Analyst and the Technical Director of Planning.
