ZONING – RESIDENTIAL
Including single family, duplex, four-plex, townhome
and apartment condo styles
I want to:
Own and live in my home whenever I wish for as few or as many days per year. If I choose, I can rent out my home on a long term basis. I can do this myself or through the services of an established property management company at ~10% of gross. (i.e. regular residential neighbourhoods).
ZONING – EMPLOYEE HOUSING / PAH
Apartment condo styles only
I want to:
(i) Purchase a condo to provide rental accommodation to my or other’s employees (working 20 hours/week in Canmore)
or
(ii) Purchase and live in my home if I am working 20 hours/week in Canmore. (i.e. Montane Village and Whiskey Jack Chalets)
or
(iii) Purchase a Perpetually Affordable Housing (PAH) unit from the Canmore Community Housing Corporation (CCHC) which may be deed and/or resale restricted. For more information on PAH, visit http://www.canmorehousing.ca
ZONING – TOURIST HOME
Apartment condo styles only
I want to:
Own and live in my home whenever I wish for as few or as many days per year. If I chose, I can rent out my home on a long term basis. I can do this myself or through the services of an established property management company at ~10% of gross. If I choose, I can rent out my home on a short-term basis (nightly or weekly) either by myself or through the services of a vacation rental company at ~50% of gross. (i.e. Boardwalk, Canmore Crossing, Lodges at Canmore, Canmore Place, Mountainview Lodges, Falcon Crest Lodge, Silvercreek Lodge).
ZONING – VISITOR ACCOMMODATION
Apartment condo styles only
I want to:
Purchase a hotel suite condo and have personal use of it for up to 30 days at a time, year round. The balance of the time I can choose to leave it vacant, or place it in a cooperative rental pool professionally managed. This rental to tourists will generate revenue that can be used to help pay my taxes, condo fees and utilities. (i.e. Falcon Crest, Blackstone, Mystic Springs, Fire Mountain, Lodges at Canmore, Silvercreek Lodge; Note: internal condo by-laws govern Wind Tower Lodges and Suites personal use at 84 days per year, 30 at a time).
