PC Meeting July 20, 1993 Cont'd

DISCUSSION

Eagle Mapping Services Ltd. is the type of business that would be
typically found in an Industrial or Office Park rather than in a commercial
district. The business is similar to the Technical Offices that are permitted
within the M-3 (Clean Industrial) and proposed M-4 (Business Industrial Park)
zones; however, it would not meet the minimum size requirement of 550 square
metres for office uses in those zones.

A Comprehensive Development (CD) zone proposed specifically for this
property would be based on the M-1 zoning regulations.It would include
yrovisions to allow a technical office use in Unit #17.

Any further relocation of Eagle Mapping would cause hardship due to the
amount of high-tech equipment in the office. Since this business provides |
employment within the City and is generally compatible with other industrial
uses in the area, it would be appropriate in this case to allow the business
to remain at this location. It is therefore recommended that the rezoning of
this site be approved.
