RDEK hosting STR workshop as part of OCP process
As part of the Elk Valley Official Community Plan process, the Regional District of East Kootenay (RDEK) will be hosting a collaborative workshop at the end of January focused specifically on Short-Term Rentals (STRs) in the Fernie Alpine Resort area.
“The session will be moderated and is targeted to include a cross-section of STR operators, residents from various neighbourhoods and ski hill representatives with the goal of bringing a range of perspectives and experiences together to explore options for the location and occupancy
of STRs at the resort,” explained RDEK Planning Supervisor Karen Macleod. “During the collaborative workshop, there will be tables with representation from each sector with focused and moderated discussion.”
Due to the nature of the workshop, there will be a maximum of approximately 30 people, and anyone interested in participating is asked to submit an application by 4 p.m. on January 16, 2025.
The online application form and more information can be found on the OCP project page.
Anyone without access to a computer can contact the RDEK Planning Department to arrange for a different method of application.
“There will also be other general engagement opportunities across Area A in the coming months as the Elk Valley Official Community Plan process continues and more information will be available in late January,” added MacLeod.
The process was initiated in April 2024 and is expected to take 18 to 24 months to complete.
