Lake Country is working towards protecting natural areas and open spaces to maintain its rural
character. Protection from development results, in part, from Lake Country's reliance on the
Agricultural Land Commission continuing to help preserve rural areas for the community into
the future.
Of the lands not in the ALR, 56 acres are zoned for industrial use in Lake Country, which is 4%
of the total amount of industrial land zoned in the Central Okanagan. Three parcels that are 10
acres and larger account for 54% (30 acres) of the area's industrial land supply, and 50% of the
industrial parcels belong in the 2 to 5 acres size range (even though the total amount of acreage
in this range only accounts for 30% of Lake Country's industrial land supply). There are
currently no industrial zoned parcels in the 1 to 2 acre size range. Light industry is the most
prevalent use in this area since just over half (55%) of the non-ALR industrial zoned land is
classified I-1.
Future plans for industrial development in Lake Country are extensive. A 495-acre creation of
an industrial area is proposed to occur at the southeast end of the area, along the City of Kelowna
- District of Lake Country municipal boundary. Development is planned to be in conjunction
with the City of Kelowna/Winfield Beaver Lake Rd. Industrial Area. Also, two comprehensively
planned industrial business parks are proposed: one being located in the area between Glenmore
Rd. and Okanagan Centre Rd., and the second proposed to be developed just north of the City's
new 60 acre industrial development in the Beaver Lake Rd. area. These business parks will
accommodate retail and service uses developed to high standards, while forming an important
component of the smaller, more land efficient businesses. It is the intent of the District of Lake
Country to service these proposed industrial areas with municipal water and sanitary sewer.
