Technical difficulties have forced Kelowna city council to postpone its decision on endorsing a large culinary school at Summerhill Pyramid Winery for a second time.

Two weeks ago, council tabled its discussion on winery-owner Stephen Cipes91裸聊视频� proposed 91裸聊视频淐ulinary College for Humanity91裸聊视频� wanting to hear from the developer himself.

Cipes was meant to plead his case virtually at council91裸聊视频檚 Monday, March 15 meeting, but technical difficulties with the city91裸聊视频檚 teleconferencing service didn91裸聊视频檛 allow that to happen. As a result, the matter has been put over to next week.

Cipes claims in his application to the city the proposed facility, to be located on Summerhill91裸聊视频檚 property along Chute Lake Road, is unique both provincially or nationally. It would include a culinary facility, educational stays, wine tasting, food-producing gardens, and parking. The eight-floor, 35,000-square-foot building would consist of 150 rooms to be used solely by students and faculty, Cipes stated in his application to the city.

During its first presentation to council at the beginning of March, councillors expressed concern that different uses may arise.

91裸聊视频淢y concern about this is, while it speaks to a really unique opportunity 91裸聊视频� I don91裸聊视频檛 want it to be used as a hotel in a vineyard,91裸聊视频� said Coun. Mohini Singh on March 1.

City staff has recommended council endorse the proposal, moving it to be considered by the Agricultural Land Commission (ALC).

If endorsed by council and approved by the ALC, Cipes would have to apply for a zoning amendment. At that point, council would give input on building height and proposed use.
