The community
incorporates properties of varying sizes while maintaining an average density
of 2.0 hectares (5 acres) per lot.
Designed as a single family home neighbourhood, the Ranch will have a
building scheme to establish aesthetic characteristics, building envelopes to
protect environmental and privacy aspects while preserving green space zones on
individual properties, and each property is designed utilizing up-to-date Fire
Smart principles.
Vernon Hill Ranch is a neighbourhood adjacent to the city of Vernon that will appeal to existing and future residents of the Okanagan Valley who wish to have view acreage properties in very close proximity to all of the amenities offered downtown.
The Ranch property is unique in its physical characteristics and location. Guidelines have been adopted to protect this spectacular site including preservation of much of the natural wooded hillside, wildlife areas and terrain features. A Comprehensive Development Zone is being created to suit the uniqueness of the site by establishing custom land and building use, parcel sizes, setbacks, public amenities and trail networks
Livability
Vernon Hill Ranch is
intended to be a place that captures a country look and feel by supplying
country amenities close to the city of Vernon. It will provide areas to walk, trail ride and enjoy the
beauty of the magnificent natural setting of Vernon Hill. The livability of the neighbourhood is
ensured by custom, hand-picked building sites with private views and hideaway
areas. Each building site is
carefully chosen to accentuate the amenities and livability of its location
without impacting other properties in the neighbourhood. Each element of the physical design and
the lifestyle plan is intended to enhance the sense of community while
providing the opportunity to live in a quiet place of retreat. The foundation is being laid by the
developer to meet the livability objectives of Vernon Hill Ranch, and through
the establishment of a Property Owners Association, Strata Council, and a
Design Review Committee, the neighbourhood will always continue to meet the
objective of a country environment while creating innovative ways to accomplish
the community goals.
