A 150-unit rental-only apartment building is being proposed for 1575 Bernard Avenue at the corner of Noble Court.
Kelowna council got a look at the development at its Nov. 28 meeting. Zeidler Architecture has submitted plans showing a six-storey building, including townhouses.
A public information session on the project brought a variety of comments including concerns about the building91ÂãÁÄÊÓƵ™s height and compromised views for those living at Vista View condos.
Affordability, parking, traffic, and noise during construction were also concerns for neighbours.
The original use of the property included a church and then a daycare. The lot has been vacant since 2012 and no formal development applications have been brought forth until now.
The development would require rezoning, changes to the Official Community Plan, and a public hearing before construction could begin.
