Vernon city council has voted to wait until the completion of the Official Community Plan before making a decision on a proposed 100 unit development above Okanagan Lake. Councillor Pat Cochrane says, he voted to wait for the OCP this time because the issue has been dragging on and he'd like the developer to make some changes. Councillor Cochrane had previously voted to move ahead with the proposal but changed his mind.Cochrane says he'd like the development to be residential only instead of resort/residential.The 100 unit development is proposed for the former Pariaso Campground.Council voted 4 to 2 to wait for the completion of the official community plan before making any decisions about White Point Resort.The OCP is expected to be completed by June 2008.
The developer behind WhitePoint resort says he's disappointed with council's decision to delay the proposal. Stowe says when public was allowed input 85 percent of Vernon residents supported the application. Stowe says he's going to have to sit back and review what's going to happen with the property if council isn't willing to take it to public hearing. Stowe says he'd hoped the application would have moved forward to a public hearing.
