North Glenmore Sector Study

The North Glenmore Sector Study is currently underway. This Implementation Action of the City’s Official Community Plan is intended to evaluate future potential of the Sector Lands for housing, infrastructure servicing, community facilities, parks, and natural conservation + recreation.

About

On May 26th 2025, City of Kelowna Council unanimously directed staff to work with Placemark to initiate the North Glenmore Sector Study. The purpose of this Official Community Plan Implementation Action is to evaluate the subject area for development potential, infrastructure servicing, and community facility requirements to better understand which lands hold the potential for designation for future urban growth – all subject to future neighbourhood scale planning
The Sector Study will serve as a bridge between the current 2040 OCP policies and future detailed neighbourhood planning + zoning. The ultimate goal is for the Sector Study to inform a Council decision on next steps for planning identified development nodes in the sector.
The Sector Study will be undertaken following a four-phased planning process according to a City-approved Terms of Reference:
  • PHASE 1 | Technical Due Diligence - Inventory Analysis
  • PHASE 2 | Visioning + Structuring Options
  • PHASE 3 | Preferred Option + Technical Feasibility
  • PHASE 4 | Preferred Option + Technical Feasibility

The Lands

The ~4,000 acre Sector Study Lands are centrally located in the region, surrounded by the growing economic centres including Kelowna Airport, UBC Okanagan, and industrial lands.

Currently designated as a mix of Rural – Agricultural + Resource, Natural Area, Public Services/Utilities, and Educational/Institutional, the North Glenmore lands present an opportunity to plan for future housing, employment, parks, civic facilities, protected conservation areas, and infrastructure – all in a way that aligns with the 10 Pillars of the City’s Official Community Plan.
