Cheema lands proposal rejected again by District of Squamish council

For the third time in four years, District of Squamish council has turned down a proposal to include the Cheema lands within its growth management boundary.

Had it passed, it would have been the first step toward designating the lands viable for residential development.

During its meeting on April 5, elected officials voted 4-3 to deny first reading of the proposal.

Mayor Karen Elliott and councillors Doug Race, Jenna Stoner and Chris Pettingill voted to defeat first reading.

Councillors John French, Eric Andersen and Armand Hurford voted in favour of granting first reading.

The Cheema lands, officially known as District lots 509 and 510, have been a point of contention within the municipality.

Debate over Whistler construction noise continues

There’s a chance construction noise in Whistler could soon start half-an-hour earlier in the day—but if that change pans out, locals could also be in store for more quiet hours overall.

During the March 22 meeting, Whistler’s mayor and council discussed the pros and cons of implementing a new noise regulation bylaw that would allow construction in residentially-zoned areas to begin from 7:30 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday to Saturday year-round, and ban construction noise on Sundays and statutory holidays.

Currently, construction noise in Whistler is permitted from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m., seven days per week. That adds up to 4,508 total annual hours during which construction noise is permitted.
