THAT Council proceed with third reading and adoption of Bylaw No. 2636,
Zoning Amendment Text, M-3, Clean Industrial zone, with no changes.

The following comments were made at the Public Hearing on Bylaw No. 2636:

"The height of the buildings mey be excessive for buildings located near
regideatial areas”.

The only area of the City where M~3 properties back on to residential
properties is a string of properties located along McLean Avenue and
Broadway Street, between Taylor Street and Cameron Avenue. With the
exception of the three properties further to the west, on McLean Avenue,
all the other properties are buffered from reeidential properties by a
Municipally controlled 66 feet buffer strip. In addition to this, the
revised bylaw provides for a 20 foot rear yard setback minimum.

Because the Bylaw in its revised form allows for no outside storage of
any kind in this sone, the 6 meter setback should be sufficient. (The
reault ie that in virtually every case there will be an 85 feet distance
between an industrial building aud the closer residential property lines.

“Iba Bylaw provides for the erection of fencing with a minisun height of
6.6 feet along all property Lines immediately adjacent to a property
designated for residential or apartment use. Yhis fence should be
increased to § feet".

Since there is no outside atorage of any kind permitted in the M-3 zone,
the erection of 8 foot fences appears unnecessary. ‘The same applies to
the height of the screening required by fencing or landscaping from
Streets or Provincial highways.

“That a new zone be created rather than amending the H-3 sone".
