Council agenda includes $1.6M road contract, infill housing vote

West Kelowna City Council met on June 23 with a weighty agenda that included a $1.6-million road rehabilitation contract and long-anticipated zoning changes to encourage infill housing. Minutes from the regular meeting and associated public hearing were not published by press time, so decisions on the items remain unconfirmed.

Below are the key items that council was scheduled to address.

Road rehabilitation contract

Council was asked to award a $1,608,400.21 contract to Emil Anderson Construction for the 2026 Road Rehabilitation Program. The item appeared on the regular council agenda, but no vote tally is available.

Infill housing zoning changes

The centrepiece of a separate public hearing and the council meeting was Zoning Amendment Bylaw 0320.15. The proposal would remove barriers to infill housing citywide, permitting more accessory dwelling units and other forms of gentle density. The changes are intended to advance the City’s Infill Housing Strategy and meet commitments under the federal Housing Accelerator Fund. Council was scheduled to give the bylaw third reading after hearing from the public.

Affordable transit pass

Council considered endorsing participation in a regional Affordable Transit Pass Program. Endorsement in principle would be subject to 2027 budget deliberations. No decision was confirmed.

Rowing club storage

A staff recommendation asked council to approve a temporary storage and operations site for the Kelowna Rowing Club at Rotary Trails Park. The agreement would run for three years with an option for a two-year extension.

BC Hydro transmission project

Council was to submit a formal response to BC Hydro regarding the West Kelowna Transmission Project. Details of the city’s position were not available.

In‑camera session

Council also held a closed session on June 23. The agenda did not list any items for discussion, and no information was released.

Coming up

No public meetings are scheduled for the next 14 days, according to the city’s posted calendar.
