KAMLOOPS — Kamloops City Council will on Tuesday (June 25) review a city report during its regular meeting on community-plan-amendment and rezoning applications that would pave the way for major development to the Pineridge Golf Course area on the south side of Trans-Canada Highway East between the Orchard’s Walk and Dallas neighbourhoods.

According to a city report, key features of the development plan in the area include:

– Up to 450 residential units in the form of low-density strata developments, medium-density townhouses and medium- to high-density apartment complexes

– Extension of Dallas Drive across the Pineridge Golf Course site, aligned to allow future connection of Dallas Drive to Valleyview Drive

– A multi-use path along the portion of Dallas Drive within the site in accordance with the Transportation Master Plan
