Body
Administration Recommendation(s)
Administration supports proposed Bylaw 2015-27 as presented.
Purpose
The applicant is requesting a Land Use Bylaw amendment to redistrict the subject lands to facilitate the continued operation of the existing commercial building on the property.
Summary
There is an existing commercial building on the property that was constructed in 1996. Various changes to the use and structure have occurred since the construction of the original commercial building. When Land Use Bylaw 15-00 was adopted the commercial use on the property became non-conforming. Council approved an amendment to Land Use Bylaw 15-00 to allow for Automotive Equipment and Vehicle Services as well as Industrial Storage and Warehousing in 2003. This amendment facilitated the approval of the most recent development permit in 2008 for an underground electrical contracting business. The facility has been in operation under this development permit until recently. When Land Use Bylaw 20-2009 was adopted the commercial use of the property became non-conforming for a second time. The applicant requires an amendment to Land Use Bylaw 20-2009 in order to apply for a development permit to accommodate a show home site for mobile homes under the RIC District. The mobile homes will be manufactured off-site.
Financial Impact:
