OCP Amendment Application for 580 Commonage Road
Council has supported, in principle, the proposed mixed-use, multi-phased, neighbourhood development at 580 Commonage Road. The proposed development would include 3,960 residential units in a variety of housing forms to establish a new hillside neighbourhood in Vernon.
The proposal seeks to re-designate 421 hectares (1,040 acres) of land for mixed-use residential, parks, and a commercial hub. Currently, the proposed development is subject to conditions such as guaranteed attainable and affordable housing, a minimum dedication of 120 hectares (296 acres) of public parkland, a comprehensive public trail network through the new neighbourhood, and the development of a comprehensive infrastructure and servicing plan.
The next steps will include public consultation, including a developer-hosted Open House, as well as referrals to committees and the Regional District of North Okanagan for further review and comment.
