PURPOSE AND EFFECT

The purpose of this zoning by-law amendment (File No. Z01-2026) is to amend the zoning on the lands at Plan 432, Park Lot 6, Part Park Lot 7 (702 Josephine St N) as shown in the attached Schedules from the existing VC2 (Village Commercial – Highway Zone) to create two new special VC2 zones. 

A corresponding consent to sever application (File No. C37-2024) has been provisionally approved to create one new commercial lot. As a condition of that severance, a re-zoning to recognize any resulting zoning deficiencies is required. The proposed severed land, which is currently vacant, is proposed to be re-zoned to VC2-18 (Village Commercial – Highway – Special Provisions) to permit a minimum lot frontage of 15.15 metres, limit permitted commercial uses and prohibit residential use. The proposed retained land, which contains an existing commercial storage building, is proposed to be re-zoned to VC2-19 (Village Commercial – Highway – Special Provisions) to limit permitted commercial uses and prohibit residential use.
