A rezoning application for Rainbow Plaza could see new daycare spaces added to Whistler’s Rainbow neighbourhood.

A rezoning that will allow a new daycare to set up shop in Rainbow Plaza is headed for adoption after council gave it third reading on April 6. 

The application from Calgary-based Rainbow Canuck Properties Ltd. seeks to amend the current zoning of the commercial site at 8200 Bear Paw Trail (also known as Rainbow Plaza) to improve the viability of the commercial tenancies onsite.

The landlord has an agreement with local childcare operator Creekside Kids to fill a vacant space on the site, which can accommodate 24 kids and five staff.

No one spoke at a virtual public hearing for the rezoning on March 9, though six people wrote letters in support. 

Adoption will follow at an upcoming council meeting.
