and submissions from the public regarding the application to rezone the subject property
from C-2 (Local Commercial) and RT-1 (Two Family Residential-1) to RM-2A (Downtown
Multiple Family - Medium Density) to permit an apartment building with a site-specific
amendment to allow 18 units. The application was considered and denied by Council.
In accordance with Bylaw Amendment Procedure Bylaw No. 5-1-2002, the applicant for
a defeated Zoning Bylaw amendment may:
•
•
Formally appeal and request that the application be reconsidered by Council; and
Where a motion is reconsidered and defeated, Council will not consider the same
application on the same property for six months, after which the applicant can
choose to submit another application.
On October 7, 2014, the applicant appealed the decision of Council to deny the rezoning
application (www.kamloops.ca/webcast). The applicant informed Council that they are
proposing to amend the roofline and vertical architectural features on the west and east
elevations, as well as making revisions to the landscaping. Council voted to reconsider the
rezoning application and hold a new Public Hearing, which was held on November 4, 2014.
Both reports are available online at the website listed below, and further information can be
received by contacting L. Pirrodi, Planner, at 250-828-3428.
