It is acknowledged that this meeting is being held on the traditional territory of the Syilx/Okanagan Peoples.

This meeting is open to the public. All representations to Council form part of the public record.  This meeting is being webcast live and will be archived on the City's website.

In accordance with Section 99 of the Community Charter, the public is invited to present submissions or questions to Council regarding the 2021 Annual Report

  • Recommendation:

    THAT Council consider the 2021 Annual Report, prepared in accordance with Sections 98 and 99 of the Community Charter.

Travis Kendel, Manager of Engineering, RDCO, and Jordan Best, Director, Collection, Recycle BC will attend the meeting virtually

  • Recommendation:

    THAT Council requests Recycle BC undertake direct curbside recycling services within the City of West Kelowna commencing April 30, 2026; and

    THAT Council authorize staff to submit the Recycle BC Acknowledgement letter on behalf of the City before July 1, 2022 to acknowledge and agree to the Recycle BC requirements as outlined in this report; and

    THAT Council direct staff to work with Recycle BC to extend the current agreement to April 30, 2026 to align the commencement of the Recycle BC direct service with the expiration of the City’s current curbside collection contract.

  • Options for Council's Consideration

    1.  Give Third Reading as amended to address the two minor alterations noted in the Public Hearing report.

     

    THAT Council give Third Reading as amended to the City of West Kelowna Zoning Bylaw No. 0265, 2022, by amending the following:

      • Section 3.25.3(e)i.b) by adding “or deciduous” to the type of drought-tolerant species permitted as part of an agricultural buffer; and
      • Section 4.5.1(a) by adding “institutional” to the list of uses where accessible parking spaces shall be provided.

         

    This option would allow the amendments to the bylaw identified in the Public Hearing report related to allowing a mix of coniferous and deciduous trees species in an agricultural land buffer, and would require institutional uses to provide accessible parking spaces. The bylaw would then be forwarded to the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure for their required signature prior to Council consideration of adoption.

     

    2.  Postpone Consideration to allow for additional post public hearing amendments or direction from Council.

     

    THAT Council postpone consideration of Third Reading to City of West Kelowna Zoning Bylaw No. 0265, 2022; and direct staff to bring the bylaw back subject to addressing any Council directed post public hearing amendments.


    This option would allow for further revision of the Zoning Bylaw to address any number of issues that may arise as a result of public or Council feedback through the Public Hearing process. Where post Public Hearing changes do not alter land use or density, these changes are permissible bylaw amendments that may be presented for Council’s consideration at Third Reading. Should any proposed changes require alterations of the proposed land use or density, a second Public Hearing will be required prior to any further consideration of the amended bylaw.

  • Recommendation:

    THAT Council authorize the issuance of a Development Variance Permit (DVP 22-06) for 975 Lloyd Jones Drive to vary S. 10.4.5.g.1 of the Zoning Bylaw No. 0154 to reduce the front parcel setback distance from 6.0m to 4.5m.
