RE: Zoning Amendment By-law No. 1273

On the Council agenda of Monday, October 1, 1973, immediately following this
memorandum, there appears Zoning Amendment By-Law No. 1273 relating to property
owned by the Mary Hill Baptist Church and the Council will note that a portion
of the property is being rezoned from P~2 to RS~2 and a portion is being rezoned

£rom RS-2 to P-2,

We regret to have to advise the Council that By-law No. 1273 is being presented

to the Council for consideration to repair an incorrect zone designation applied
by Zoning By—law No. 1066, which, as some members of the Council will recall,
rezoned a one acre portion of the Mary Hill Baptist Church property on Nova

Scotia Avenue to P-2 (Special Institutional) to permit the construction of a
church. Unfortunately, the church was not actually built on the one acre portion
rezoned and as a result the church is now situated on land that is zoned RS-2,

The church has recently applied for a building permit to construct a single family
dwelling just east of the existing church and it is this portion which is presently
zoned P~2 and the construction of a xesidence in the P-2 zone is not permitted.

By-law No. 1273, if finally passed and adopted by the Council, will rezone a site
around the existing church to P-2 and will return the incorrect P-2 zone designation
to RS-2 in order that construction of the single family dwelling may proceed.

We can provide further explanation to the Council if the same is required,

WN

City Clerk
