2.0 BACKGROUND
2.1 On December 14, 2009, F & I Gateway Investments Inc. submitted an application for
an amendment to the Zoning By-law (84-63) to permit the construction of a 1,407 m2
retail commercial building including a pharmacy and retail postal outlet.
2.2 A Public Meeting was held on February 1, 2010, in accordance with the requirements
of the Planning Act. Based on the amount of interest that was generated by the
design of the proposed development, a Public Open House was also held on February
17, 2010.
2.3 A Staff report recommending approval was presented at the General Purpose and
Administration Committee meeting on March 29, 2010 where it was endorsed by the
Committee. At the subsequent meeting of Council on April 12, 2010, By-law 2010-026
was passed which amended the Zoning of the subject properties to permit the
development of a retail commercial establishment (Shoppers Drug Mart store). A
Holding Symbol (H) was left on the property until such time as all taxes on the
property were paid and until the Site Plan met the requirements of the urban design
criteria contained in Section 10.7 of Report PSD-036-10. A summary of these criteria
is contained below (see Section 3.1).
2.4 At this time, the Finance Department have confirmed that the taxes have been paid on
the property.
