Kelowna council has given its initial OK to changes for the proposed UBC Okanagan downtown vertical campus.

They include the creation of a specific zone for the project (CD28 University of British Columbia Downtown Campus) and to rezone a portion of the property to CD28. The original plans for the building called for 34 storeys, however, last month UBCO submitted revised plans seeking to build up to 46 storeys for the property at 550 Doyle Avenue.

The campus building is to include schools of nursing and social work, student housing, health and food services, and amenity and plaza spaces. Four storeys of underground parking are also planned. A staff report to council noted this type of height and density would not normally be supported for private development.

The changes, which were unanimously passed by council, will need to go to a public hearing and then be forwarded to the province for consideration.

If council does give its final approval to the project, the UBCO Downtown Campus would eventually become the tallest building in the city.
