A proposed 481-unit development project for the east side of the City of Cranbrook is one vote away from receiving required Official Community Plan (OCP) and zoning bylaw amendment approval.

City council Oct. 16 passed third reading of OCP Amendment Bylaw No. 4124, 2023 and Zoning Amendment Bylaw No. 4125, 2023 – Oasis at the Dunes (Shadow Mountain East), to facilitate development of single-family lots, duplex dwellings and townhouse units on the lands.

This amendment (along with forthcoming zoning amendment) will facilitate the proposed development of approximately 10 single-family lots, 18 duplex units, 54 multi-family townhouse units and 60 condo units while providing for different housing type options including single, two, three and four family dwellings, and multifamily condo units, explained a report to council from Rob Veg of Planning and Development Services.

The total number of units proposed within Shadow Mountain East Side strata is 293 and 188 units for the adjacent lands for a total of 481 potential dwelling units on the entire east side.

City staff received an application from Haworth Development Consulting on behalf of the owners, Oasis at the Dunes Ltd., to amend the city’s OCP and Zoning bylaw by making changes to the St. Mary Neighbourhood Plan, to permit development of single family lots, duplex, townhouse units and multifamily condo units on portions of the subject lands.

The Advisory Planning Commission reviewed the application on October 4 and recommended council approve the proposed OCP and Zoning amendments, Veg outlined.

The zoning bylaw will be sent to the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure for approval prior to consideration of adoption. The application was referred to Fire and Emergency Services for their review. The OCP amendment was also referred to the school district.

At the time of writing this report, no comments have been received.
