The draft 2040 OCP has massively increased the height of the Pandosy area from 4 stories to 14 stories.

Over Development in Pandosy Lakeshore
The OCP envisions 1025 Units in the Pandosy Urban Centre over the term of the plan 2020-2040.
The target will be exceeded by 2024.
Affordability and Livability are being Eroded
The Casorso Road Plan is to be initiated by the new owner of Central Trailer Park. Clearly this is opposite to good practice in which the community plans for what it wants - not what the developer wants.
Residents are Clearly Concerned about Development and Want 6 Stories or Less
KLO Neighborhood conducted a survey of residents from Nov 15 to Nov 24. In that time over 400 residents completed the survey. 86% said they were Concerned / Very Concerned about Development and 83% were opposed to buildings over 6 stories.
Pandosy Lakeshore Needs a Plan
Pandosy Lakeshore has no plan. The draft OCP has identified the need for an Urban Plan. Regretfully, the area being proposed is very small and does not represent the entire neighborhood. It leaves the integral areas of Lakeshore and Casorso Road out of the planning area.
​
Best Practice Planning includes the entire neighbourhood. The City of Surrey has developed a world leading process that should be followed in Kelowna Surrey Fleetwood Plan
KLO Neighbourhood Association believes that the two extremes of Sprawl and Tall are not the way forward.
​
An alternative exists which demonstrates more advantages in affordability, infrastructure cost, environmental sustainability, traffic congestion, livability and community wellness.

A report by Ryerson University has concluded that cities will achieve needed densification much better by changing the way they densify. The report can be found here
