Thank you!

That dream plan posted above is probably one of the worst things you could do for urbanism in Kelowna. the Okanagan only has so much fertile farmland and agriculture is the heart and soul of the region. I would not want to see a Kelowna without its wineries and orchards. Not to mention the secondary and tertiary jobs that are also connected to its agriculture industry.

That land is a no go, there are many brown fields and extremely low density areas already within Kelowna's urban boundaries that are prime for development (preferably in the form of high density).

I am also against the # of houses they are building in the forest fire prone mountain sides as well.

The worst day for me is the day Kelowna looses its fertile agriculture land and its last remaining grass land hills to satisfy the American style appetite of low density urban sprawl.

Kelowna has a lot of potential, but that potential should be focused in the existing urban areas, not elsewhere.
