THE DIRECTOR OF PLANNING SERVICES REPORTS AS FOLLOWS:

The subject. site is 4.5 acres in area and currently accomodates a single
family house and storage shed. The property is located in an area that has
been recognized for its industrial development potential. Building activity,
to date, had occurred to the north and expansion of the industrial area

to the south should be viewed favourably.

Current surrounding land uses are industrial to the north and vacant land to
the cast, west and south. Another rezoning application due west of the

subject property, received third reading by Council on April 14, 1980. The
proposed rezoning calls for two industrial zones, M-3 (Special Industrial)

and M-1 (General Industrial). While the applicant has not met the requirements
for fourth reading, it is his intention to continue with the project. Once the
bylaw receives final approval, the industrial zoning will expand parallel to the
property involved in this application.

The applicant has indicated on his site plan that a possible mezzanine area
will be developed for office space. Permitted uses under M-1, General
Industrial zone does not include business or professional offices. Only under
an M-3, Special Industrial zone are offices permitted.

application.
