Re. RV park not supported (Castanet, Aug. 9)

It is the the right decision to stay off agricultural land

Yes, RV parking has disappeared in Kelowna to make way for fancy condos and the excessive building occurring in Kelowna. That is poor planning.

Penticton still has several RV parks and motels. Thank heaven. It is unfortunate that there is no longer a place for RVs in Kelowna. They will have to go to places like Penticton.

But the (City of Kelowna planning) staff have done the right thing (recommending) not allowing RV parking on our agricultural land. Using our farmland for non-farm uses is a slippery slope.

Our farmland must be protected for our present and future food security, not for housing.
