Regular Council Meeting

July 16, 2024

Peachland Classic Car Show

Council received a presentation on the Peachland Classic Car Show held May 19 which was hosted by the Peachland Chamber of Commerce. The event was the 25th year anniversary of a Peachland car show and was an outstanding success with over 200 classic cars in the show. Fundraising events held during the year were extremely lucrative and organizers raised $36,000+ in sponsorships, sales and fees and offset the $23,000 in expenses while still leaving funds available for next year’s event.

Lipsett Avenue Rezoning

Council gave third reading to a Zoning Amendment Bylaw to rezone 6137 and 6147 Lipsett Avenue from RR1 Rural Residential to RM4 Multi-Unit Residential – Medium Density to facilitate the development of 34 multi-family residential units. The application will be scheduled for final adoption once the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure gives approval and several covenants are registered including:

• minimum setback of 6.0 m (19.7ft) for buildings from the front lot line,
• maximum building height of 12.0m (39.4ft),
• maximum number of units is 34; 10% of the units to include flex units,
• installation of intersection ahead sign on Princeton Avenue,
• signage and improvements for a 3-way stop at the Lipsett Avenue and Aitkens Road intersection,
• a Community Amenity Contribution of an estimated $64,000 payable at the time of building permit.

The detailed report including site map and public comments received can be found at July 16, 2024 - Regular Council Meeting

Clements Crescent Development Permit

Council authorized a Form and Character Development Permit with variances for 5481 Clements Crescent to permit the construction of a 98-unit multiple-family residential building. Variances for building height, parking, and road construction were approved. The six-storey multiple-unit residential building will be shifted further north (away from the existing residential neighbourhood) to accommodate a site for a potential childcare facility fronting onto Clements Crescent and Wild Goose Street. The development fits within Council’s strategic goals for increased housing choice in Peachland.
