A major residential development planned for the Todd㽶Ƶֱs RV & Campground site in Peachland is moving forward.
Porchlight Developments is developing six buildings, up to six-storeys each for a total of 46 units, and four family cabins. Council unanimously approved a development permit for the project at the Aug. 9 meeting.
㽶ƵֱA resort-like development like this is exactly what Peachland deserves,㽶Ƶֱ said Coun. Mike Kent. 㽶ƵֱIt㽶Ƶֱs a very attractive amenity to be used as an economic driver for the community.㽶Ƶֱ
Porchlight expects to start construction in phases in spring 2023, and to complete the project within four years.
㽶ƵֱI think this developer will be an example for many other developers coming to town,㽶Ƶֱ said Coun. Patrick Van Minsel.
Mayor Cindy Fortin added that she was sad to see Todd㽶Ƶֱs RV go.
㽶ƵֱBut this is a good resort and has great character to it,㽶Ƶֱ she said. 㽶ƵֱSo I㽶Ƶֱm looking forward to seeing it developed.㽶Ƶֱ
Council was also expected to consider amendments to the Official Community Plan and zoning bylaws for Porchlight㽶Ƶֱs other project on Clements Crescent. However, it was pulled from Tuesday㽶Ƶֱs agenda. No reason was given. The Clements project, planned for next to Peachland Elementary, is a four-storey, 84-unit building.
