Landing Project Gets Support


A new plan for a much talked about site in Okanagan Landing is closer to going ahead. City council has given third reading to rezoning 25 acres at 9650 Eastside Road, which was formerly the Paraiso Point campground.Mayor Wayne Lippert says the plan is popular with the residents in that area."It's something the residents out there can support because they can see it's an improvement to their neighborhood and they're looking forward to some infrastructure improvements as well that they've been looking for for quite some time."About a dozen people including the property owner, attended Tuesday's council meeting in support of the development, and waited more than two hours for council to approve third reading with no debate.Bob Spiers was the lone council member to vote against third reading.

Property owner Craig Stowe wants to put in 120 single and two family unit homes if the zoning is changed from the current tourist commercial to hillside residential.
