Hm. Just in terms of density in the middle of nowhere?
City Council has given cautious support during first reading of the development proposal. They're excited that a developer is willing to build something of this scale in the city but they're also worried about the density plus they want to make sure this is the right project for precious lakeshore. The project does include a public beach and marina.

West Kelowna does have a problem that if they don't allow this in the city, the developer could just move the development a few hundred metres north onto Westbank First Nation land and then West Kelowna will have the traffic headaches with none of the tax benefit. Although Campbell Road Interchange is on WFN land.
