Highway Commercial Zoning District Text Amendments

RECOMMENDATIONS :

THAT Section 905 Highway Commercial CS-1, Subsection (1) Uses Permitted
be amended deleting clauses (k) and (1) relating to services stations
and car washes.

AND THAT Section 906 Service Station CS-2, Subsection (1) Uses Permitted
be amended adding a new clause (c) renumbering the existing clause (c)
as (d). The new clause (c) would read as follows;
Retail sale of groceries, and confections, occupying a maximum floor
area of 200 square meters, accessory to a service station use.

COMMENTS :

These text amendments are in response to concern expressed by City Council
about the proliferation of service stations. The amendments were drafted to
remove service stations as a permitted use in the CS-1 Highway Commercial
zoning district. The reason is City Council wishes to attract other
commercial uses serving the motoring public to land zoned CS-1 Highway
Commercial.

There are service stations in the CS-1 zone combined with grocery stores and
other retail sales. To avoid creating a legal nonconforming situation for
these properties, amendment to the CS—2 zoning district is proposed. Service
stations in the CS~1 zone would be rezoned to a CS-2 designation.
