The Subdivision Bylaw attempts to balance the unique quality of life we enjoy in the Central Okanagan with growing urban development. The Subdivision and Development Servicing Bylaw No. 704 was adopted by the Regional Board in July, 1997.   Bylaw 704 is a comprehensive document which sets the minimum standard for works and services which must be constructed or installed to service any subdivision or development within the Regional District Electoral Areas.   Bylaw 704 does not apply to the incorporated areas of Peachland, Lake Country, West Kelowna, the City of Kelowna or First Nation Lands.

Works and services included in Bylaw 704 are highways, walkways, water distribution systems, community sewer, onsite disposal systems, storm drainage systems, street lighting, and underground wiring.   The type and extent of works and services required at the time of subdivision or building permit is dependant of the current zoning of the parcel and is outlined in Table C.2.2 on pages 100-101 of Bylaw 704.
