Could the Janion and other small sized strata apply and meet the same zoning requirements as the hotel are requesting?

They could probably take one if those votes like some Vancouver stratas have to dissolve and sell the entire building. Or convert it. Not sure what is needed, 75% at least I’d guess.

80% maybe.

I think it has the current zoning for a hotel.

Heh. This is the owner of several Janion units. I mostly agree with her, but she’s very biased!

 

The real irony is that the "serviced apartments" get listed on Airbnb!

 

The fact that she has a horse in the race doesn't mean that her points of view are not valid. Hotels have been the big winners with revenue per night increasing 30% year over year. That is no doubt why they funded the anti-STR studies. Every extra dollar the multi-nationals make on a hotel room is one less dollar that gets spent in the local economy. It is not like tourists magically obtained an extra 30% in their vacation budget.

I think the government buying up most of the cheaper hotels has had a bigger impact on the hotel revenue increase.

 

Tricky to separate the two impacts, I suppose, both happened around the same time period.

In Qualicum, and Lilloet?

AirBnBs had a downward pressure effect on prices. You could book an entire unit for a week that would house multiple families, for what it would cost for 2-3 days at a hotel.

With AirBnBs gone, there is no longer any downward pressure on hotel rates from a competing lodging sector.

$2,999,000

 

 

This is a tremendous opportunity to acquire a highway-side motel that has been operating successfully for years. Situated on 3.53 acres near the top of the Malahat and across from the Moon Over Water Lodge. The property features a single-family home with 4 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms and 2862 sq/ft. Built in 1974 and well maintained. The house also features a reception area to welcome guests.

 

Across the rest of the property you will find 11 bungalows totally 17 nightly suites.

 

With a range from studios up to 2 bedrooms there are accommodations for all types of travelers. The well maintained grounds feature a bbq area, small pond and recreation area for guests to unwind. This business has been well cared for by the owners for many years and now it's time for them to step aside. Come have a look and bring your ideas for the future of the Malahat Bungalows.
