Episode 72: Matt and Taylor are re-joined by Adam Cseke. Adam is a Senior City Planner for the City of Kelowna from Kelowna, BC, who was previously on the show in episode 15. He is here to update us on the changes going on in the city, how the new provincial housing bills are impacting Kelowna, and how the city feels about these bills.
Adam is here to discuss:
→ The hardest part of the zoning changes, the parameters of suburban infill, unit projection numbers for the next 5 years, and how they're making it easier to get housing permits.
→ The "missing middle" home classification, if there's a pushback on four-plexes in suburban neighbourhoods or a push for more single-family homes, and updates on carriage houses and if you can Strata-fy a basement suite.
→ The best opportunity for real estate in Kelowna right now, if there will be another Kelowna housing "boom", and what is happening with the mill site.
