One bylaw passed and was signed and sealed Monday at North Battleford council, but three others will need to come back for third reading later on.
The bylaw that passed Monday was the one amending M1 Light Industrial District Development standards, with the minimum site area changed from 1,100 square metres to 550 square metres for construction trades, convenience stores, parking lots, restaurants without associated lounges, restaurants with associated lounges, storage garages, veterinary clinics, warehouses and welding and machine shops. Also changed was the designation from “permitted use” to “discretionary use” for construction trades and welding and machine shops.
The bylaw was advertised, and a public hearing was held at the beginning of council with no opposition expressed. Second and third reading carried unanimously at council at the end of the night.
Three other bylaws made it through second reading but got no further for the time being. The bylaw to establish mill rate factors, a bylaw to authorize levying of the tax rate and to establish minimum and base taxes, and the bylaw authorizing the levying of a base tax for the funding of the Underground Parks and Roads program did not receive unanimous consent for third reading, so those three bylaws will have to come back to council for third reading and final passage.
