The developer claims that the basis of Kelowna city council's decision to take away its long-held development permit doesn't break any rules.
To move forward with the development, the city and developer entered an agreement that allowed the developer to purchase an 80-year-old leasehold interest in the property for purposes of developing the project for a total purchase price of $7 million, a portion of which would be payable by way of construction of the community amenities included in the project.
For that, the developer asked a public relations firm to get further community involvement and approval. The firm, JDH Naturals, got UBC Okanagan students to weigh in with a promotional campaign at the school. When all was said and done, the per diem came out to $250 per student, and the project continued to move ahead. The lawsuit states that council was aware of the per diem being paid as early as October 2022.
