West Kelowna city councillors gave unanimous support on Tuesday night for a new brewery at the redeveloped Lakeview Village mall along Anders Road.
Lakesider Brewing now plans to build a three-level building, with over 900-square-foot of patio space at the location for customers.
Despite the approval, city planning manager Brent Magnan said there are still concerns from the public over the amount of parking stalls that the brewery will require at the mall.
