Through the day-to-day use of the zoning bylaw and processing of various application types, including building permits (e.g. zone checks), the Regional District has identified an issue with the current zoning requirements for off-street vehicle parking in relation to a defined part of Okanagan Falls.

This has resulted in the provision of on-site vehicle parking on these parcels being challenging and problematic when applications are received by the Regional District related to a change of use, particularly, when this change of use generates a vehicle parking demand that is greater then the use that previously occurred on the parcel.

In recognition that the built form and that many of these parcels may not be capable of providing off-street parking spaces, it is being proposed that a new exemption be introduced.
