warehouse/distribution centre, serving two other warehouses in Ontario, and 17
locations Canada -wide. She stated that the existing Prestige Business Park
Zone permits the use, however an amendment is required to adjust regulations to
accommodate the floor plan of the office/warehouse, adjust zoning regulations
and to implement Urban Design elements of the Energy Park Secondary
Plan. Ms. Taylor -Scott explained that the site is currently vacant and was
formerly the location of the Mannheim Auto Auction facility. She explained that
the existing secondary plan lays out land uses and also contains a host of urban
design policies and, while the use is permitted by both the Secondary Plan and
Zoning By-law, the regulations relating to setbacks, fagade widths along the
public streets, site layout of loading and parking areas, and landscape strips,
required refinements to ensure the development implements the vision for the
Business Park. She stated that certain urban design policies of the plan will be
addressed during site plan review. Ms. Taylor -Scott noted that, through the
public consultation process, no area residents or businesses have contacted staff
regarding the application. She advised the Committee that the applicant
submitted several studies and reports in support of the application which are
summarized in the staff report. Ms. Taylor -Scott mentioned that no departments
or agencies provided any objections to the amendment to regulations of the
MO2-1 Zone. She advised the Committee that the amendment and regulations
will ensure the development has an appropriate street fagade and massing along
Energy Drive which is the main street through the business park. Ms. Taylor -
Scott noted that, to address visibility along Highway 401, special screening
provisions are included in the by-law including the need for a berm and
landscaping strips. She stated that staff recommend the approval of the Zoning
By-law amendment as included as Attachment 1 to Report PSD-050-19.
