particularly jn regard to the industrial sections. Due to
my effort in reviewing the document, I was able to provide
details which led to a number of refinements that were incor™
porated into the final draft.

I aiso prepared an additional set of comments which
I raised at the time of Public Hearing: Let ay that all
along we were continuously reminded that the

by- Law redraftywas to streamline and uncompli

regulations. Keeping this goal of 'tepreamlining 4n

cating’ the zoning by-law in mind, let me now explain my
statement that the proposed zoning amendment is unnecessary >

The present regulations for M-3 already include
"light industrial”. After all, Light industrial uses already
fit into the category of "processing and finishing of manu-
factured goods" - which is an existing permitted use.
challenge you to come Up with a manufacturing use that does
not involve some type of processing: .OF finishing of an item
that has at some time already: been njanufactured.

Therefore, by adding "Light andustrial” as a per-

mitted use, you would only be Noomplicating. the by-law.
Staff's response to this is that Section 303 of the Zdning
By-law takes care of this. This jssue L will address later.
It is sufficient to say that at this point the existing by-
law already allows for “Light industrial" uses and a further
definition 15 unnecessary:

I believe that sf Staff and Council were to review
the process that led to the new zoning by-law themselves,
chey would be better able to administer the ‘uses permitted
section.
