As we all continue to manage ourselves through this pandemic, the Superintendent recognizes that some Private Home Accommodation (PHA) operators may have chosen to refrain from operating due to safety concerns. Many PHAs that were permitted under previous policies may not meet current PHA land use policy and may have aspects of their operation that are considered existing non-conforming. Our current policy states that a non-conforming use of a building may continue, but if that use is discontinued for a period of 6 months or more, any future use shall conform with the provisions of the policy then in effect. In addition, some existing Discretionary Use Permits for PHAs may contain specific conditions rendering the permit invalid should the activity be discontinued for a period of 6 months or more, regardless of whether aspects of their PHA are considered existing non-conforming. Given the current situation, the Superintendent would like to assure all operators who have chosen not to operate their PHAs this season for safety reasons during this pandemic, will not be subject to these requirements at this time. We will revisit this in Spring of 2021 in the hopes that we are in a better place and this specific leniency is no longer required. Parks Canada is working to provide services to the public and maintain operations while balancing the need to work at home and focus on critical services during this global pandemic. As a result of this reduced service capacity, Private Home Accommodations (PHA) applications will not be accepted after April 30, 2020 until further notice. Any applications that have been received up until that point will be processed. Parks Canada will take this time to work with the Municipality of Jasper to determine what changes, if any, will be made to PHAs in future as a result of public feedback received at our open house in March 2019. Thank you for your understanding. Thank you for your participation in our Public Consultation on March 14, 2019 on zoning and Accessory Dwelling Units.
