Notes from West Kelowna Nov. 4 council meeting

Lakeview Village Anders and Ollala Roads

West Kelowna council approved a Commercial Development Permit to facilitate the demolition and phased redevelopment of a new shopping centre and 17-unit multiple family residential building at 851 Anders Rd. at its regular council meeting Nov. 4.

The regular council meeting, held Nov. 4, heard the existing shopping centre on the site is located approximately 300 metres east of the intersection of Boucherie and Anders Road and 90 metres from the Lakeview Heights Community Hall.

The application is generally consistent with the Commercial Development Permit guidelines contained in the District's Official Community Plan and the design is responsive to feedback received from both District of West Kelowna staff and Lakeview Heights residents. The development includes demolition of existing buildings, phased construction of four commercial buildings with a total combined floor area of 49,900 square feet and construction of a new 17-unit multiple family residential building.

The building design includes a variety of architectural detailing and pedestrian-oriented elements and is reflective of the neighbourhood character of Lakeview Heights.

Improvements would include full urban upgrades to Anders and Olalla Roads and would trigger an upgrade to an existing water main from Skyline Road to the subject property.

Hillside Development Standards

Council gave first three readings to a Works and Services Amendment Bylaw to add Hillside Development Standards. The standards provide design criteria and requirements to promote sustainable hillside development in order to reduce impacts to the natural environment. The draft bylaw will now be scheduled for adoption at a future West Kelowna council meeting.
