A complex that features two apartment buildings and commercial space could be coming to the south end of Penticton.

The apartments — six storeys and four storeys, respectively — have been proposed for 235 Yorkton Ave.

Penticton City Council will hear the proposal in full when it meets on May 13.

It is currently unknown how many residential units or parking stalls the apartments would include, however, the applicant has requested a rezoning change to allow for an "accessory restaurant, office and retail store uses," a public notice document released by the City of Penticton reads.

The property is located behind Kojo Sushi, west of Wilson Avenue, and less than a kilometre away from Skaha Lake.

According to the city, the six-storey building would feature commercial space "at grade" and apartment units above. The four-storey structure is just an apartment.

There will be no public hearing on the matter, as the B.C. government has passed legislation prohibiting municipalities from holding such meetings when a proposal is consistent with the Official Community Plan.
