Title
Proposed Bylaw 2015-08, being an Amendment to the Land Use Bylaw to redistrict Plan 5389RS, Lot A, from CR - Country Residential District to RIC - Rural Industrial Commercial District.
Proposed Motion(s)
1. That Bylaw No. 2015-08 receive first reading; and
2. That a Public Hearing be scheduled for March 3, 2015 at 10:30 a.m. in Council Chambers to hear public comment on proposed Bylaw No. 2015-08.
Body
Administration Recommendation(s)
Administration supports the proposed Bylaw as presented.
Purpose
The applicant is requesting a Land Use Bylaw amendment to redistrict the subject lands to facilitate the future sustainability and expansion of the existing steel fabrication plant.
Summary
The Applicant has made an application to amend the Land Use Bylaw and redistricting Plan 5389RS, Lot A (Linc Number 0016 884 967) from the CR - Country Residential District to the RIC - Rural Industrial Commercial District. Parkland County's Municipal Development Plan does not offer any direction on where the RIC District should be located (or potentially not located). Administration is of the opinion that this development site meets the criteria of the RIC District and, as the development has been located here for over 30 years without recorded conflicts, it appears to be an adequate location for this use. Therefore, Administration supports the proposed amendment to Land Use Bylaw 20-2009 as presented. A detailed summation of the proposed amendment is included within the attached Administrative Report.
Financial Impact:
Revenue: $2,500.00 +GST Land Use Bylaw Amendment Application Fee paid by Applicant.
Note: The Applicant would receive a 50% refund of Application Fee if the Bylaw were defeated at first reading.
Alternatives:
1) Council could table Bylaw No. 2015-08 and request additional information from Administration or the Applicant; or
2) Council could defeat Bylaw No. 2015-08 at first reading; or
3) Council could grant first reading and schedule the Public Hearing for a date other than March 3, 2015 at 10:30 a.m.
4) Council could amend Bylaw 2015-08 to add General Industrial Manufacturing and Processing as a site specific discretionary use on Plan 5389RS, Lot A within the CR District, as opposed to redistricting the parcel to the RIC District.
