Two separate zoning bylaw amendments were introduced at council Monday.

The amendments both involve a couple of projects that have been made public at the most recent council meeting, both of which require zoning bylaw amendments to go forward.

One zoning amendment called for a rezoning of the property where the former armoury/BTEC building was located at 702- 102nd St., from an R2- Low Density Residential to C2 - Neighbourhood Commercial. It also called for the definition of “tavern” to be added to discretionary uses.

The second zoning bylaw amendment is to add medical marijuana facility to the Heavy Industrial District M2 Table 6-16 as a commercial and industrial use.

That latter amendment would be in connection to a medical marijuana facility that has been proposed for the former Maple Leaf Foods plant at 99 Canola Ave. in the Parsons Industrial Park.

First reading passed unanimously for both bylaws at Monday’s council meeting. The next step is for the public notice period to begin, with the two bylaws coming back for further debate and potential passage at a later council meeting.
