Land-use extension near Penticton, B.C. sparks concern from neighbours
Land-use contracts were allowed in B.C., in the 1970s as site-specific contracts between local governments and landowners.
“It would be nice to have the conversation and with that, we should be at that table. We should be talking about what that means and why there should be changes to the agreement.”Those protections include a limit on the number of nearby housing developments and a ‘Radio Quiet Area’ that limits the use of devices like microwaves and cellphones.
“All we want is to have a conversation with the various levels of government. If those microwaves aren’t an issue then we should be talking about what is an issue. If the house building that is going on, and will be going on, if that’s an issue we should be having that conversation.”According to Buchstein, under the original contract from 1973, St. Andrew’s is allowed 150 homes. As of right now, there are 93, and approximately 25 that are under construction.
