While converting an office to a home may not seem like much, Kelowna city staff are refusing to support a carriage house application because the lush homesite on Mission Creek is still viable for agriculture. Applicants Don and Diane Hickey are asking for support from the city for their application to the Agricultural Land Commission for a non-farm use, in this case a carriage house, on a property they own.
According to a report by the community planning department, several buildings already exist on the 0.8 hectare property on Heimich Road which backs on to Mission Creek.
