Rezoning & OCP Amendment
The purpose of a zoning bylaw is to guide growth in a systematic way by ensuring various uses of land and structures are compatible with each other. Each property in Kelowna has a zoning classification that regulates its density and land use. Zoning Bylaw 8000 specifies: 
- permitted uses,
- buildings and structures permitted,
- density,
- lot coverage,
- lot size,
- setbacks,
- building height,
- off-street parking,
- landscaping,
- other criteria.
The Official community Plan (OCP) provides a policy framework and clear vision of the City's intentions with regard to future land uses and servicing across the community. Each property in Kelowna has a future land use designation as specified in the Official Community Plan.
To find out your current zoning and/or future land use designation, refer to the online mapping system  .
"Rezoning" is the process to change from one zoning designation to another. A rezoning application is required when a development proposal seeks to change a zoning designation, land use, or density of a site. An OCP Amendment is required if a rezoning application is not consistent with the future land use designation.
