Community Workshop Exit Survey

OVERVIEW

The intent of this application is to alter the allowable commercial land uses allowed within the current CD-26 Island Highway /Helmcken Zoning to include a broader range of community-supported uses. We're planning to add a few new, neighborhood-friendly businesses on the ground floor.

Uses Sought:

The uses applied for in this application would be in addition to Grocery and would include:

  1. Café; where you can grab your morning cup or meet a friend
  2. Medical; convenient for check ups
  3. Office; and
  4. Retail;

This public open house in the desired space is intended to help envision the opportunities at the commercial level at The Royale. Our goal is to make the building even more useful and welcoming for everyone in the area.

All of these businesses will:

  • Keep regular daytime hours (no late-night activity).
  • Maintain a safe, quiet, and clean environment.
  • Offer services that benefit both residents and the surrounding community.

Comments and Input:

  1. I feel that the proposed commercial uses are appropriate for this location? (Please Circle One) Strongly agree | Agree | Neutral | Strongly Disagree (Note: "Neutral" is circled)

  2. I believe it's important to have a variety of options in the commercial spaces Strongly agree | Agree | Neutral | Strongly Disagree (Note: "Agree" is circled)

  3. I believe the space and location is well built for the above options Strongly agree | Agree | Neutral | Strongly Disagree (Note: "Strongly Disagree" is circled)

Additional comments:

There's a difference between the local council having a need for office/medical space and the local residents benefitting from them being here.
