Consultation has concluded
The feedback period for this proposal to amend the Official Community Plan has now closed. The results have been published on shapeyourcitypenticton.ca and will be shared with staff and the Parks and Recreation Advisory Committee for a recommendation before it is considered by Council for a decision. Future communications about this application will be shared through www.penticton.ca as part of the legislative process for considering land matters. Register to receive updates directly.
The City is proposing to update the land use designation for eight properties on South Beach Drive adjacent to Skaha Lake. The properties at 270, 274, 278, 280, 286, 292, 298 South Beach Drive and 300 Sudbury Ave are currently developed as single-family housing but are designated as Parks and Recreation. The City had planned to purchase the properties to expand Skaha Lake Park but with the price of waterfront real estate continuing to escalate and limited interest from property owners to sell, the City has not been able to advance this vision beyond the purchase of a double lot at 298 South Beach Drive / 300 Sudbury Avenue in 1992. The City is proposing to revert the designation back to a residential land use, sell 298 South Beach Drive / 300 Sudbury Avenue, using the funds to advance other parks priorities.
Given that this proposal would require a change to the OCP, the City would like to ensure members of the community are aware of the application and have the opportunity to learn more and share their views before the proposal is considered by Council. Residents are invited to review information about the proposal and complete this feedback form by Sunday, October 17, 2021.
