Vernon is a growing city.

The 20 acre McMechan Reservior site offers a tremendous opportunity to create a compact residential neighbourhood with park space and trails that is designed to meet the needs of today’s families. The site is designated Small Lot Residential in the Official Community Plan which encourages single family homes, duplexes, townhomes and row housing. To provide rental opportunities and mortgage helpers, secondary suites and carriage houses are also being encouraged. Detailed engineering, transportation and design work will be ongoing over the next number of months and will inform a rezoning process.

A great neighbourhood encourages people to interact with each other by providing good open spaces, pathways/trails and a variety of housing types and land uses including some commercial uses such as coffee shops, daycares, small stores, and so on.

An area that gives you a sense of belonging, safety and security. It should be a place where you feel your children can safely play and you can enjoy friends and community. It must be an area where you can express yourself and develop different interests.
