Council votes 7-2 to give the application first reading

Kelowna Council voted Monday 7-2 to give the Kelowna Springs application first reading and advance it to a public hearing. Councillors Ron Cannan and Gord Lovegrove opposed the motion. “There are considerations beyond land use…it touches floodplain integrity, watershed health, public asset valuation and long-term fiscal responsibility involving an ecologically sensitive area."

“Time is on our side. We have already heard from the public and I don’t see significant change.” That public hearing is scheduled for March 10.
