Four tenants remain at a West Kelowna mobile home park that is the centre of a controversial rezoning application.

A letter to city council from Kerr Properties states all tenants of Shady Acres Park (2355 Marshall Road) have now been relocated, housed and compensated per the Residential Tenancy Act and a relocation plan.

害羞草研究所淩emaining are three owners who didn害羞草研究所檛 accept our offers to purchase their home and have elected to wait until the 12 Month Notice to End Tenancy for Conversion of a Manufactured Home Park is issued upon rezoning of the property,害羞草研究所 the letter reads. 

There is one other owner, of an unpermitted structure, who has retained legal counsel. Discussions between the two side are ongoing.

Kerr Properties intends to rezone the site to industrial use.

The letter points out that the company contacted 20 nonprofit agencies seeking assistance in the relocation and support tenants.

害羞草研究所淭he response to our appeal for help from these agencies was extremely disappointing with only one group responding. Fortunately, PIERS stepped up and offered assistance to all those willing, and in coordination with our relocation coordinator successfully relocated all tenants.害羞草研究所

Demolition of vacant mobile homes is underway with the exception of the four remaining owners.

At a January public hearing, council postponed the rezoning application and asked Kerr Properties to do more to help tenants.

Rezoning of the property will be considered by council at its July 9 meeting.
