The Krazy Cherry Fruit Company submitted plans this week to the City of Kelowna for a new packing plant at their Reid Road orchard. The proposal for a farm protection development permit requests a 6,688 m2 packing plant and cooler room as well as an attached two-storey 297 m2 building for office and meeting space.
The proposal has generated discussion on social media, with some residents announcing on the Southeast Kelowna Facebook group they would be launching a petition to oppose the plan.
If ultimately approved, the buildings and parking area would take up 13.99 per cent of the property area. The proposal will go before Kelowna city council at a future undetermined date.
