SECTION 22
COMMUNITY SHOPPING AREA (CSA) ZONE
22.1 GENERAL PURPOSE OF THE CSA ZONE
The CSA zone is typically applied to community-scale commercial lands. CSA
zone provides for and regulates a wide range of community-scale retail and
personal service uses, as well as some office, commercial recreation, community
facilities and commercial school uses, which serve the needs of the community
or a number of neighbourhoods located within convenient walking and/or driving
distance. Either enclosed or unenclosed shopping centres are the permitted form
of development. Stand-alone buildings which are not part of a shopping centre
may also be permitted at appropriate locations normally near the perimeter of the
property to satisfy urban design goals to create a street edge and screen large
surface parking lots. The CSA6 Zone variation is used for this purpose. The
permitted uses are the same for all CSA Zone variations; however, variations of
the zone are differentiated based on maximum permitted gross leasable floor
area. High density intensity residential uses may also be permitted by applying a
Residential R8 or Residential R9 Zone. (Z.-1-202871)

regulations as set out below or in Table 22.3.

2)
GROSS FLOOR AREA (MAXIMUM)
For the purposes of the CSA Zone variations, the maximum gross floor
area maximum shall not include floor area devoted to commercial
recreation establishments, institutions, or day care centres. The exemption
of the floor area devoted to such uses is for the gross floor area maximum,
