Halt urban sprawl, says business community Building a bigâ€"box power centre near the north end of Waterloo would be detriâ€" mental to the city‘s uptown vision, a number of business representatives told local council Monday night. "A development like this By Anprea Bamey Chronicle Staff would impair our objective to have a strong, healthy uptown area," said Chris Barre _ of _ First _ Gulf Development Corporation. "What this would be is a case of urban sprawl." During an information meeting, both council and the rest of the public were reintroduced to King/86 Developments‘ _ idea _ of building a 305,000â€"squareâ€" foot retail centre, which would include a Walâ€"Mart store, on the edge of Woolwich Township, | just bordering Waterloo. While local council has no decisionâ€"making power, as the group denied the developer an amendment to PONTIAC BUIC GMC o the city‘s official plan for the project more than two years ago, they were updated on the changes which have been made to the concept, as well as where the plans stand with both Woolwich Township and the Region of Waterloo. Woolwich has already approved the concept in principle, under the agreeâ€" ment than some changes be made to the design. But the project has yet to go before the region for final approval. e Janice Mitchell of the city‘s development services department explained that besides _ the _ Walâ€"Mart anchor store, the centre would include freestanding stores filled with departâ€" ment storeâ€"type merchanâ€" dise such as books or toys, as well as commercial venues such as restaurants or Tricia Siemens of the Uptown Waterloo BIA said the concept of more apparel in smaller stores would proâ€" vide direct competition in the uptown. She said the city has worked too hard to rejuveâ€" nate the core to just sit by and watch such a centre creâ€" ate a negative impact. Dick Tyssen, chair of the Uptown Vision committee, agreed the potential impacts could be devastating for the uptown, as well as the rest of the city. "It would do nothing to better the quality of life in Waterloo," she said. "We are very concerned the additional retail space will hamper the city‘s ability to realize its vision," he said. Mitchell advised council that even though the group cannot make a formal deciâ€" sion on the matter, it may be in its best interests to form a preferred option and preâ€" sent it to both Woolwich Township and the region in case the issue reaches an Ontario Municipal Board (OMB) hearing. While there are still a number of issues to be resolved, including where to direct water and sanitary services, as well as storm water management, . the developer is to complete a peer review process, includâ€" ing a number of technical studies _ and _ research reports, by the end of June. _Staff will then present a report to council on the results of the process. Dennis Wood, a repreâ€" sentative of the developer, requested council not form an opinion on the concept until the process is comâ€" plete. "It would be more approâ€" priate to wait until we receive the report and get a more balanced view." Barre, however, seemed to feel no process cauld hide the negative impact such a project would have on the city, specifically his compaâ€" ny‘s redevelopment plans for the uptown. "What this seems like is a strip mall offering retail goods in smaller units," he
