Full RecordingOfficial Community Plan Amendment Application No. 2020/01 and Rezoning Application No. 2020/04 - 298 Island Highway
Council voted to move the proposed mixed-use development at 298 Island Highway forward to public consultation, requiring traffic issues to be addressed.
"Staff (J. Chow) and applicant (T. Ankenman) presented a proposal to increase density (3.0 FSR) at the intersection of Island Highway and Helmken Road, promoting it as a gateway and neighborhood center focus. The developer agreed to restrict the ground-floor commercial space to a specific use (gourmet grocery/deli) to avoid undesirable commercial traffic. The primary concern was traffic management, specifically regarding vehicle access/egress and the proposed configuration of the Island Highway lanes at the intersection. Council agreed to advance the OCP and Rezoning to the public consultation/hearing phase."
