City of Kelowna councillors passed a motion Tuesday evening to amend a zoning bylaw for Cambridge House on Ethel Street to allow for offices, medical services and retail general in the building91裸聊视频檚 two retail units in the building, despite residents91裸聊视频 objections.

Residents and members of the strata council voiced their concerns during the public hearing insisting the infrastructure can not support retail due to a lack of parking and the potential increase in waste and garbage.

Cambridge House has 200 stalls serving 192 units and 28 of those were slotted as visitor parking, however a strata council representative informed council there are only eight visitor parking stalls and one handicap stall.

91裸聊视频淭he number of visitor parking stalls is woefully inadequate for existing needs of the building, let alone adding on one or more businesses and their clients91裸聊视频 parking needs,91裸聊视频 the strata letter read.

The strata said it feels any type of retail business would add additional strains to its already insufficient resources, including garbage and recycling facilities.

Cambridge House has one recycling bin and one garbage bin and the strata said it has had to increase the frequency of pickup as 91裸聊视频渢hese bins are already inadequate for the needs of the building.91裸聊视频 It added there is no space to add additional bins.

The strata would like to see a small business use the 1,916 square-foot space on the ground level of the condo complex, but members said they didn91裸聊视频檛 want the amendment to the bylaw as it would open up the floor to retail outlets, such as convenience stores.

91裸聊视频淚 do want the strata representatives tonight to know that I absolutely have heard their concerns,91裸聊视频 Coun. Luke Stack said. 91裸聊视频(Parking) is always a big issue for us and I am often reflecting on the decisions we made and it91裸聊视频檚 really good for us to hear back after a building is built out.91裸聊视频

91裸聊视频淲hat I heard tonight warrants further review by us, and staff, to make sure when we91裸聊视频檙e approving projects that they will function in our city properly,91裸聊视频 he said.

Coun. Brad Sieben supported the bylaw amendment, however he put forward a motion to have staff investigate the parking issue to ensure visitor parking regulations are being met. His motion was passed.

A report will be returned to council upon completion of the investigation.
