Change to Skaha Bluffs Alternative Approval Process timeline

Change to Skaha Bluffs Alternative Approval Process timeline

Staff brought forward a report to Council yesterday changing the end date of the Alternative Approval Process for the Skaha Bluffs Area Boundary Extension Application from Oct. 31 to Nov. 15. The change in timeline was proposed to address a conflict in the dates included in some of the notices prepared for the community information sessions (including an email to Shape Your City Penticton members which identified Nov. 3 as the end date.) The change in date has the added benefit of providing more time for residents to learn about the proposal and the vision for the area and voice their opinion.

Family-friendly Open House coming next on Oct. 5

Since the application was first presented to Council on September 19, information about the proposal has been available on shapeyourcitypenticton.ca and staff have hosted information sessions on September 27 and 30. The next opportunity to learn more is on Oct. 5 on the playground at Wiltse Elementary between 3 pm and 7 pm. This family-friendly open house is intended to make it convenient for families in the area to attend. Wild Sheep Society of BC will have an educational display and a climbing wall will be available to keep the kids interested while the parents learn more. Look for the canvas tents on the playground.

Open House added on Oct. 14

Staff are taking advantage of the change in timeline to plan an additional Open House on Oct. 14 at the Penticton Trade & Convention Centre between 10 am and 1 pm. At the Open House, residents will be able to speak with staff about the Upper Wiltse Area Structure Plan as well as the Skaha Bluffs Area Boundary Extension Application.
