Councillor Ron Cannan wants the city to pressure the province to preserve Kelowna香蕉视频直播檚 Heritage Conservation Area (HCA) from development.

香蕉视频直播淎re we going to allow the province to destroy it, I don香蕉视频直播檛 think they want to do that either,香蕉视频直播 he said at council香蕉视频直播檚 May 13 meeting.

Cannan brought up the issue during a staff update of the HCA including management options and public consultation.

Staff emphasized the importance of preserving heritage values while accommodating the needs of a growing population.

However, new provincial legislation mandates three to four dwelling units when redeveloping a single-family lot, including in the HCA.

Director of planning and development, Ryan Smith, told council that staff have had several discussions with the province regarding the easing of density in the HCA.
