The City of Kelowna requires development permits addressing design guidelines as outlined in the 2040 Official Community Plan (OCP). Incorporating these Guidelines into a project’s design will encourage the creation of contextual and compatible architecture, high quality pedestrian realms, resilient and context-sensitive design, and will contribute to placemaking and design excellence in Kelowna.The OCP was adopted by Council on the 10th of January, 2022.
