Housing projects planned for Kelowna’s Burne Avenue and Lester Road have been submitted to city hall.
The application for 727 Burne Ave. is for a five-unit housing development and includes two, three-storey buildings.
“The goal is to create a safe, livable, and community-friendly place that fits into the surrounding neighbourhood and supports walkability, biking, and public transit,” state documents submitted by Urban Options Planning Corp.
