Consultation has concluded

On February 8, the owner of 5 Adelaide Street (PID# 90213034) applied to permit a storage building intended to support day-to-day operations of the existing grocery store at 107 Main Street (PID# 90197500). While the general notion of the application is supported by staff, the proposal requires amendments to the Land Use Bylaw to rezone the subject lot, as well as the Municipal Planning Strategy to change the land use classification of the lot from residential to commercial. In addition, a Development Agreement is also required to allow for a standalone accessory building without connections to Town water and sewer services, none of which is currently allowable under the Land Use Bylaw.

Site Context

The subject lot is located in the south portion of the Town on the south side of Adelaide Street and approximately 50 metres east of Main Street (Attachment 2). An existing auto service shop is located directly to the west of the lot. The currently R-1 zoned lot, which was originally developed with a single detached home until it was demolished several years ago, is part of a small low density residential area bounded by Queen Street, Bond Street and Adeliade Street.

The currently vacant land is approximately 3,000 square feet in size with approximate dimensions of 50 by 60 feet. Based on the limited information available, the subject lands have been informally used as an overflow storage associated with the adjacent auto service for a number of years which may have been seen on historical images of the site included in Attachment 5.
