Wetland Protection
|
The City of Kelowna has identified a number of wetland areas within the City's boundaries and has designated the respective properties as Environment Development Permit Areas.
A Development Permit (DP) defines the requirements necessary to address the objectives outlined for the particular Development Permit Area.
An Environmental DP is required for any activity that alters land in designated Environmental DP areas. This does not restrict owners or occupants of existing buildings that now encroach into the sensitive area from continuing to use them. However, owners of existing non-conforming structures would require a DP when seeking to build new structures, additions to existing structures, place fill, excavate soils, remove trees or vegetation, or otherwise alter the land within the Riparian Management Area (RMA), or within the sensitive or hazardous portion of the property.
