Rezoning Application No. 17/86
1509/21 Grant Avenue

RECOMMENDATION:

That City Council direct the Clerk's Office to prepare a bylaw
rezoning Lots 1 and 2 of Block M of DL 466, Township 36, NWLD

Plan 15361 from RS-1 to C2. .

COMMENTS:

In examining this application, the Planning Committee were
mindful of the concerns expressed by neighbours of other
commercial applications. To that end the architect for this
project was requested to design the building to orient it
towards the Prairie -~- Coast Meridian intersection. By

orienting the building to the main commercial area it directs
traffic away from the residential area behind it. This is
accomplished by designing the building so that {it has a "LL"
Shape backing onto Grant Avenue with no entrances on that side.

At the public information meeting held about the Official
Community Plan, several nearby residents expressed the concern
about additional traffic from the proposed development. The
proposal is for professional offices, minimising traffic flow
normally assaciated with retail commercial development.

ln conciusion, thi report is recommending that this
application be forwarded to bylaw stage and public hearing. A
condition for approval that is suggested for this application
is that the uses permitted to be iocated there be limited to
offices, prohibiting retail commercial businesses.
