Consultation has concluded

Penticton has not updated its Development Cost Charges since 2007 and they are now out of step with current construction costs, development needs and growth projects. Council made it a priority to modernize the DCC Bylaw this term to ensure the cost of growth-related infrastructure is shared equitably with the people who will benefit. This work will be completed in 2021. In advance of this review, Council directed staff to:

  • review the DCCs for Public Open Spaces and compare to similar sized municipalities in the Okanagan
  • review the cost of living increases that might be applied to all classifications
  • provide Council with an amending DCC bylaw that addresses Public Open Spaces with a timeline of up to one year.
