PDC047-2024

Background

The purpose of the application is to amend the Zoning By-law to mirror that of the parcel located east (fronting Goreway Drive) to permit truck wash and repair facility, with offices, a warehouse and associated truck and trailer parking.

The proposed development conforms to the Growth Plan as it directs and sustains employment growth within its designated areas, promoting development that is compact and will efficiently use underutilized lands.

The proposed by-law includes performance standards to ensure that the proposed development is appropriate given the surrounding area, such as but not limited to; generous front and exterior setbacks requirements, and the inclusion of landscape buffers and screening along areas where truck and trailer parking is proposed to minimize public view of outside storage.

Item Description

The draft zoning by-law amendment is appropriate for the orderly development of the lands as it will promote development on lands that are currently underutilized, represents appropriate use of the lands and protects employment areas that support major transit infrastructures and transportation terminal facilities. In addition, the proposal will facilitate uses that serve the current high volume truck routes in the vicinity and is compatible with the surrounding industrial area, supporting the City’s vision in directing appropriate growth that is consistent with the applicable plans and policies.
