Council approved the OCP amendment at their meeting on Sept. 7, 2021 based on a revised proposal and following the approval of a hotel planned at nearby Vernon Ave.
Council denied giving first reading to this proposal at their meeting in June 2020 because it did not feature a hotel to support the PTCC.
The property owner of 877 Westminster Avenue, home to the El Rancho Motor Hotel, has submitted a letter of intent to the City of Penticton to redevelop this site as a residential development. This proposal would require an amendment to the City’s Official Community Plan to change the designation from Tourist Commercial to Urban Residential. Before the property owner takes the next step to fully develop a proposal for this site, the City is gathering feedback from the community.
