Active Municipal Plan and Development Regulations

Municipal Plan & Development Regulations Amendment No. 24-04

Application

The Planning and Development Department received a development proposal for 11 O’Connell Drive (the ‘Subject Property’) to expand the parking lot associated with the place of worship use.

Description

The Subject Property is currently split zoned ‘Residential Low Density’ (RLD) and ‘Community Services’ (CS). The “place of worship” use is not set out in the RLD use zone tables, which prohibits the proposed parking lot extending into the RLD zone. The purpose of this rezoning is to allow for the expansion of parking lot, upon approval, all engineering requirements will need to be met before construction permits will be granted.

Development Regulations Amendment No. 25-01

Application

The Planning and Development Department received a development proposal at 26 Commercial Street (the ‘Subject Property’) to create a small-scale metal siding and roofing business. The Subject Property is currently zoned ‘Downtown Smithville’ (DTS).

Description

The proposed use is not reasonably defined and therefore is not permitted by the Development Regulations. The purpose of this text amendment is to introduce the ‘limited manufacturing use’ definition and to include the use in the discretionary use class of the Downtown Smithville zone, adding a condition of use to limit the use to a maximum of 250 square metres. The text amendments will allow the proposed development and those that fit within the definition of limited manufacturing use to be considered in the Downtown Smithville zone at Council’s discretion.
