THE DIRECTOR OF PLANNING SERVICES REPORTS. AS FOLLOWS:

The total site area utilized as service commercial by the applicant is
approximately three acres. -This rezoning application calls for the
consolidation of one zone, thereby permitting the continuence of his
-business. Currently, the property accommodates a number of uses related
to the operation of a truck sales establishment. There is however,
one non conforming use that the applicant feels. should be permitted

to remain. Located along the eastern edge of the site, a watchmnan's
trailer is being used as a one family residence. While the structure
is an accessory building, it is not a permitted use in a CS-1 zone.

Tf this use is approved by Council, other rezoning applications will
have to be reviewed in a similar manner:

The surrounding land uses are as follows:

NORTH:. B.C. Highway Maintenance Yard
SOUTH: Commercial and Public Open Space
EAST :. Public Open Space

WEST. : Commercial auto sales

While the use of the site is appropriate, considering the neighbouring
uses, the applicant has not indicated on his Plans any intenticn to
provide landscaping. . The property is located adjacent to a- major

open space and could act. as a transition area if landscaping is
provided along the southern exposures. A more detailed site plan will
‘be required before this application can proceed to a public hearing.
