Background
The purpose of this map amendment is to rezone lands south of Main Street (the Subject
Property) from 'Residential (R)' to 'Rural (RU)' to accommodate a commercial construction
yard business. A construction yard is a discretionary use in the RU zone. The business would be
owned and operated by the landowner of the adjacent residential property to the north of the
Subject Property. The lands are privately held and the subsequent approval of an access is
subject to discretionary approval of Council pursuant to regulation 46.
Municipal Plan policies guiding this amendment include:
9. Backlot Development
(1) At its discretion, Council may permit the creation ofbackland lots insofar as the
development uses land efficiently, is economical for the delivery of municipal services,
preserves the Town's natural and historic character, and does not isolate nearby parcels of
and in a way that would preclude them from being developed in the future.
2. [Rural Designation] Land Uses
( 4) At Council's discretion, limited types of commercial development may be permitted,
where such uses are complementary to permitted uses and would not significantly affect
the existing character and environmental integrity of the area.
Public Consultation
The proposed amendment was posted on the Town's Facebook account on January 3, 2025.
