Kelowna City Council will be considering a development permit application for the second phase of a commercial project in the South Mission.
Staff in the city’s planning department is recommending support for the project in The Ponds neighborhood.
In August 2022, Kelowna council gave the green light to the first phase of development, which was proposed for 1090 Frost Road.
A staff report says the second phase would include five, single-storey commercial buildings at 940-1030 Frost Road.
There would be about 3,340 square metres of commercial space, 106 vehicle parking stalls, 31 bicycle stalls in addition to the 242 vehicle spaces and 22 bike stalls in the first phase of the project.
“The proposal aligns with OCP Policy which encourages a range of commercial services in the Village Centre which can support surrounding residential development, orienting buildings toward Frost Road, and making provision for pedestrians including patio and plaza areas,” reads the report.
The five buildings will be for smaller retail stores and restaurants.
Similar to the first phase, the developers are looking to incorporate wood trestle elements that are a nod to the train trestles in east Kelowna.
The report says there would be 74 trees through the site plus a landscaped central green space to break up the surface parking lot.
Kelowna council will review this application during Monday’s meeting which begins at 1:30 pm.
