2079 Lougheed Hwy.
Development Permit Application 83/93
Planning and Development Committee — September 28, 1993

RECOMMENDATION :

That this application be denied and that the applicant be encouraged to
re-design the building with a commercial form in compliance with the
Development Permit Area guidelines and which is compatible with the commercial
character of the area.

BACKGROUND:

This application is for the development of a log home show cffice and used
auto dealer. The site is currently zoned CS-1 (Highway Commercial) and is
designated for "Highway Commercial" use in the Official Community Plan. The
project is subject to the guidelines outlined in Development Permit Area IV -
"Aggie Park".

The applicant atteided Planning Committee on September 28, 1993 to discuss
the above recommendation. Members of Planning Committee suggested to the
applicant to consider some alternate location, in particular some industrial
sites on Westwood Street could be more appropriate for the display home he
would like to erect.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION:

The proposal is for the construction of a log home, to be used as a
display for an exporting business, and as office for a used car dealer.

While the proposal generally conforms with the Zoning Bylaw, the proposed
log home will be somehow out of place at this location, and may set a negative
precedent for future development in this area.
