INTRODUCTORY READINGS TO ZONING BYLAW NO. 900, 2014, AMENDMENT BYLAW NO. 1117

RECOMMENDATION:

THAT the report dated April 28, 2023, from the Community Planner titled “Introductory Readings to Zoning Bylaw No. 900, 2014 Amendment Bylaw No. 1117” be received.

PURPOSE:

The purpose of this report is to introduce Zoning Bylaw No. 900, 2014, Amendment Bylaw No. 1117 (Attachment 1) to amend Section 13.1.1 “Principal Uses” of the existing CD-1 Zone, Comprehensive Development. Currently, Section 13.1.1(k) of the CD-1 zone permits “Light Manufacturing Medical Clinic”; however, this is not a defined use in the Zoning Bylaw. The permitted use should technically be two separate uses and listed independently of each other in the CD-1 zone.

The Committee waived the requirement to hold a Public Hearing, in accordance with Section 464(2) of the Local Government Act (LGA), as the proposed amendment to the Zoning Bylaw is consistent with the Official Community Plan.

A copy of the Committee of the Whole report is attached for reference (Attachment 2).
