{industrial Development Permits

RECOMMENDATION:

That the Clerk's Office be directed to draft a bylaw amending
the Official Community Plan Bylaw No. 2162 Schedule A, Report
and Schedule B Map including a development permit system.

COMMENTS:

The proposed devetopment permit system for the industrial! area,
was designed to provide a measure of control for the City over
development, while providing additional certainty and speed of
approval for developers. In addition to the overall goals
noted above, the development permit system also provides some
additional design flexability to developers for improving their
building proposals while meeting the City's goals.

The proposed development permit system has been circulated fo
affected property owners for their comment. Comments were
received from two property owners. The first comment related
to the proposed prohibition of advertising signage along
Kingsway. That section has been deleted. The second comment
related to the ltength of time required for processing. That
question was refered to the Solicitor. His informaiton was that
once the Development Permit System is adopted by a bylaw, if
will not be necessary to circulate applications, as is
required for voluntary development permits.

Im conclusion, authorization for the City Clerk fo prepare
bylaw implementing the proposed mandatory development perm
system for Mary Hill Industrial Estate.
