Application from Build Consulting Services on behalf of Ged Smyth for a zoning By-law Amendment to change the zoning from the current “Hanlon Creek Business Park”…

42:49We have staff Eric Rempel and on behalf of my colleagues I would like to welcome Eric to

42:58council. This is his first time and go ahead and we'll collect questions. Excellent thank you

43:09Chair. Good afternoon members of City Council staff and members of the public. My name is Eric

43:15Rempel and I am the development planner reviewing this application. The City has received an

43:20application for zoning bylaw amendment from the consulting services on behalf of DBL CRS SimLounge

43:27to rezone the property known municipally as 585 Helen Creek Boulevard to permit the

43:32establishment of a golf simulator in two units of the approved 51-unit business plaza. Today's

43:38meeting is the statutory public meeting required under the planning act as well as the decision

43:42meeting for the proposed application. The subject site is a 2.54 hectoralot located on the northeast

43:54corner of Helen Creek Boulevard and Downey Road. The 51-unit business plaza with access off of

43:59Helen Creek Boulevard is currently under construction and site and the site has received draft plan

44:05of condominium approval. The subject property is designated corporate business park in the

44:12official plan with a small portion in the rear designated as natural area. The corporate business

44:17park designation applies to areas within the Helen Creek business park and permits a range of

44:23employment uses. The natural area designation applies to areas within the city's natural heritage

44:28system and is not being impacted by this proposal. The subject lands are currently zoned specialized

44:35corporate business park B5-3 in the 1995 zoning bylaw. The applicant is requesting to change the

44:41zoning of the subject lands from the current B5-3 zone to a specialized corporate business park B5-9

44:48zone. Subject lands are also zoned site-specific corporate business park BP-3 in the 2023

44:56comprehensive zoning bylaw. The applicant is also requesting to change the zoning of the subject

45:01lands from the current BP-3 zone to a site-specific corporate business park BP-9 zone. The zoning

45:08bylaw amendment is required to both the 1995 and 2023 zoning bylaws to facilitate the proposed

45:15development. So as mentioned the applicant is requesting to change the zoning of the subject

45:21lands from the current specialized B5-3 and BP-3 zones to a specialized corporate business park

45:28B5-9 and BP-9 zones in the 95 and 2023 zoning bylaws respectively. The specialized regulations are

45:36the same for both bylaws. These include firstly to permit a recreation facility use in addition to

45:41the permitted uses in the current B5-3 and BP-3 zones to facilitate the development of the proposed

45:48golf simulator. Secondly to limit the proposed recreation facility use to units number 36 and

45:5337 of the development to ensure the use remains in ciliary to the primary employment uses.

45:59And finally that a recreation facility shall not be shall not include a commercial kitchen

46:04or restaurant use. However may include an associated license establishment and prepackaged

46:09food available for sale. The proposed recreation facility use would be limited to units 36 and

46:1837 of the business plaza which on the site plan on the screen you can see is outlined in blue.

46:24Apologies. Staff's review of this application includes the evaluation of the proposal's conformity

46:39and consistency to the 2020 provincial policy statement and growth plan for the greater golden

46:43horseshoe. Evaluation of the proposal's conformity with the official plan. Review of the proposed

46:48zoning and review of supporting documents submitted with the development application.

46:54As of this afternoon four comments from the public have been received regarding the proposal

46:58and all comments have been supportive of the application. So as outlined in the staff report

47:03staff recommend approval of the proposed application. Thank you very much and I would be

47:08pleased to answer any questions council might have. Thank you I'm just going to look to the

47:15clerk. Do we want to ask questions now or after the delegations of staff? Through you Madam Chair

47:22we typically move to delegates. I will note we do not have the next delegate Paul Demchek

47:27available online to speak. I'm not sure if Mr. Demchek is here in person perhaps. At this point

47:42Madam Chair I would recommend possibly a break to allow delegates to call in

47:46remotely and we can work to get the listed delegate connected to the meeting. Yes thank you.

47:52As this is a statutory public meeting we had Mr. Demchek as a registered delegate on behalf of

47:58this client but we will open up the delegations to phone on screen and to anyone in the gallery

48:07gallery who would like to speak to this. So why don't we take a quick five minute break

48:12and then come back. Councillors if we could reconvene we'll continue the meeting. Thank you.

54:54We had one registered delegate Paul Demchek representing his client Jed Smith. Are you there

55:02Paul? Can you turn your video on please? Can you hear me okay? Yes can you hear me? Thank you. So

55:14you have 10 minutes for your presentation. There will be a chime signal at the 32nd mark and a chime

55:19at the end of your delegation time. If you could just stay online and that would give Councillors

55:26an opportunity to ask you questions of a clarifying nature. Great. I would be very brief and thank

55:33you for having me this evening. So my name is Paul Demchek with the Tory management. I'm the

55:37planning consultant on behalf of the applicant. So thank you to Mr. Rempel for the presentation

55:43that covered a lot of ground that I won't repeat but just for the benefit of council. So

55:49the corporate business park designation in the official plan that pertains to the subject property

55:54permits complementary uses in addition to the primary uses on the property which includes

56:02sorry a recreation use. So the golf simulator use that's proposed in my opinion is a complementary

56:09use. It takes up a total of 3.8% of all total floor area for all buildings that are proposed

56:15within this development. And obviously the zoning bylaw implementing zoning bylaw

56:23permits what is intended in the official plan and specifically for the site. We have read the

56:28staff report. We've read the four letters of support submitted with the application

56:33and have no further comments but we're here to answer any questions should council have any.

56:38Thank you. Thank you. Are there any questions from council? I see none. Thank you for your

56:48delegation. There is a delegate from the council chamber's Phil McFadden if you want to make your

56:54way to the podium. Same thing you have 10 minutes for your delegation. If you could stay afterwards

57:02just for councillors to ask any questions of clarifying nature. Just said everything we needed

57:10to say. Again I'm Phil McFadden representing the building owner. Build consulting services

57:17and Batoria's our planning consultant. Nothing else to add. We agree with staff comments and I

57:23thank Paul for being brief. Thank you. Again to councillors are there any questions of the

57:31delegation? Seeing none thank you very much. I'm going to turn to the clerks to see if there are

57:39any delegations that have phoned in. You're fine to go. There are no other delegations Madam Chair.

57:46Thank you. So next are there any questions from council to staff on this item? I see none.

57:58So I am going to ask for someone to please place. I've got Councillor Klassen

58:03placing the recommendation. Can I get a seconder? I've got Mayor Cam Guthrie seconding.

58:10Is there anything further on this item? Any comments or anything? Thank you. None. Okay.

58:16I'll call the vote. Is anyone opposed? Seeing none that's unanimous and that carries. Thank you

58:25to the delegates and to the staff for the report. Next is bylaws item five and I'm going to turn

58:34to Councillor Richardson to please place the bylaws for consideration. Thank you through you Madam

58:40Chair. I would like to put forward bylaws number 2023 20821 20826 20828 20830 and 20831.

58:53Thank you. I'm going to look onto the screen this time for a seconder.

58:57I've got Councillor Downer. Thank you. Is there anything further from council on this item? Seeing

59:08none I'm going to call the vote. Is anyone opposed? Seeing none the motion passes. The recommendation

59:17is carried. There are no item 60 Mayor's announcements. Can I have a motion please for

59:24adjournment? Councillor Klassen. Excuse me, Madam Chair, I have a point of order. I do have a

59:30Mayor's announcement. Go ahead. Sorry. I just wanted to thank you. You did a great job as chair.

59:40That's my announcement. I was looking for the mute button. Thank you. Very nice. Thank you,

59:48Madam Chair. So I have Councillor Klassen. Can I have a seconder for adjournment please?

59:54The Mayor. Thank you, Mayor. Can I call the vote then please? Is there anyone opposed to adjournment?
