Committee of the whole meetings are held to allow council to engage in in-depth discussion of issues. Recommendations from the committee of the whole meetings are voted on at an upcoming regular council meeting. Coun. Kathy Sinclair said housing, versus parking, is the highest and best use of land, noting families are living in RVs in Kamloops. She said it is worth exploring parking minimums in core areas. However, she suggested further public engagement on the matter was needed and made a notice of motion requesting staff bring back a report on the matter. Coun. Mike O’Reilly said he would not support Sinclair’s motion and that, while he likes the sentiment, parking elicits among the most complaints from residents. He said council recently heard from someone concerned about too many people parking in front of their home, causing them to be unable to bring in their groceries.

A report to the board notes a proposed site has been identified across the street from Aberdeen Mall. The area north of the mall backs onto Kenna Cartwright Park, has previously been utilized as overflow mall parking.
