The Fourth Reading of this zoning application, called Adoption, which in effect is the adoption of that zoning bylaws and the change and amendment to the Official Community Plan bylaw, has been heard and approved by West Kelowna’s Council Agenda on September 12, 2023. Now that this zoning bylaw is adopted, the Development Permit application and detailed design process can be initiated.
In addition, the project features 7.5 acres of agriculturally producing lands (currently a peach and apricot orchard) that are envisioned to be converted to the production of wine producing grapes. Within the existing A1 zoning approval for the agricultural portion of these lands, there is the future ability to build for agriculturally related and agri-tourism uses.
