A Vernon councillor says, the community has been given a good range of choices for future land use in the city. Juliette Cunningham says, of the three land use scenarios for the Official Community Plan, she likes the one that focuses on building neighborhood centres "It focuses development on the build-up area in the city and that's something we've been talking about, in-fill development. It will be a little tougher to develop the further away you get from the city, so it will prevent the sprawl." Cunningham says, having denser development will help create more affordable housing.She adds, plans to re-structure Development Cost Charges will provide a new model that encourages developers to build more affordable and multi-family housing.
