A 20-storey rental apartment building has been proposed for 1200 Pacific Avenue in Kelowna.
An application by New Town Architecture and Engineering Inc. seeks to rezone and secure a development permit for the site. The project would bring 157 rental homes.
The building is proposed under the UC2r zone, which supports urban residential development, and fits within the cityÎÚÑ»´«Ã½™s Official Community Plan and zoning bylaws, allowing up to 12 storeys and a "mixed residential street" feel. However, the proposed tower would rise to 20 storeys, requiring city approval.
"This mid-rise building has a distinctly residential personality," New TownÎÚÑ»´«Ã½™s proposal reads. ÎÚÑ»´«Ã½œIt includes street-facing townhomes at its base, corner balconies in the mid-section, and larger top-floor suites that flow into rooftop amenities.ÎÚÑ»´«Ã½
Parking will be provided entirely within the building, across five levelsÎÚÑ»´«Ã½”four above ground and one underground.
City council will review the proposal in the coming weeks.
