RECOMMENDATION: That the Clerk's Office be directed to prepare a bylaw

le

rezoning the easteriy two acres of Lot 3, Plan 6234 from
RS-! Singte Family Residential to CS-I Service
Commercial.

COMMENTS:

This rezoning application is part of the overal! development concept
being proposed for the Beaver Lumber site. As City Council wilt
recall, the proposal is to devetop the property in a series of stages.
The first etement that was discussed is a bank that is tocated at the
corner of Westwood Road and Lougheed Highway. This application Is for
the second element of the overai!l development scheme.

A public information meeting was held at Dogwood Lodge Senior Citizen
Residence for neighbours to view the ptans and offer thelr comments.
There were in excess of thirty residents attending the session. None
of the residents! expressed a strong opposition to the proposal,

Detail. comments and critiques offered by neighbours incltuded:
- concern about short cutting traffic using Shaftsbury to avoid the

Westwood - Lougheed Highway Intersection.
pedestrian access improvements so that Senlor Citizens and children

will have better access to shopping without having to walk along
busy streets.

The major outstanaing issue fer tnis phase of development is building
colouring. The group, Nissan Canada, wanting this space want to use a
different, bright colour for thelr building so that it will be
visible. It is the Planning Department's desire to have all of the
buildings use a similar colouring so there will be a common design

theme throughout the area.

It should be noted that, the potential problem &€ noise and visual
interference for neighbours to the south has been resolved by th

applicants.
