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.
