Staff had several concerns about traffic impacts on Auburn Road, at Daimler Drive and Old Okanagan Highway, as well as at Daimler and Highway 97.

Roads in the area fall under the city, Westbank First Nation and the provincial government.

Council gave first reading to rezone the property noting the need for housing but sharing the traffic concerns raised by staff and the applicant.

Further traffic analysis and review will be done before the development goes back to council for second reading.

The property was previously rezoned in 2007 with a covenant to limit the development to 220 units, intended to better align it with densities proposed under the Shannon Lake Neighbourhood Plan (SLNP).

There is also a covenant for the applicant to dedicate parkland as part of the development. The SLNP has since been repealed, however, the covenants are still registered on the property.

The 401 units proposed under the current zoning amendment application would require council to discharge the density and parkland covenant prior to adoption.
