New OCP Adopted by City

Posted bygellatlybaycommunityPosted inAssociation Activity, City of West Kelowna Initiatives, OurWK - Feedback on West Kelowna's Draft Vision

The new 20-year growth plan for the City of West Kelowna was passed at the September 12th city council meeting. Although the OCP is not everything the Gellatly Bay Goats Peak Community Association advocated for, it appears that the height of buildings in neighbourhood centres is a maximum of 6 stories, while the downtown area will be up to 19 stories. The Gellatly Bay Goats Peak neighbourhood is about to experience tremendous growth in West Kelowna with: 

  • over 6000 people expected to live in our 3 neighbourhood centres (the Goats Peak Neighbourhood Centre doubled in size at the end of the OCP process), 
  • the development of Shorerise on Goats Peak, 
  • and potential infill in our existing neighbourhood
