Turtle Mountain plan moves ahead slow and steady
An official community plan amendment and rezoning application for 35 acres of land on Turtle Mountain has passed the public hearing stage, with Vernon council’s approval.
Westco Properties Incorporated is proposing a mix of single family, duplexes and multi-family residential, which could add 185 new homes between the boundary of Davison Orchards and the existing Turtle Mountain development.
The official community plan redesignation is from “Public and Institutional”, “Hillside Residential”, “Parks and Open Space” and “ALR Lands” to “Hillside Residential” and “Parks and Open Space” to accommodate a future subdivision development and the creation of a riparian corridor and parkland.
The rezoning changes the designations from “A1 – Agriculture in the ALR’to “HR1 – Hillside Residential Single and Two Family”, “HR2 – Hillside Residential Multi-Family” and “P1 – Parks and Open Space” to permit future subdivision development and the creation of a riparian corridor and parkland
