Car dealership propo sai ,defere ByMiii.Kowalod A pote;ntially precedent-settingr proposai to permit commercial aevelopment in. an 'industrial area'will be subject teé further scrtinby Tow n flanners. Town council Monday deferred a decision on an automobile dea- lership, gas bar and offices pro- posed for south Whitby. Instead, council referred an officiai plan amendinent applica- tion from Rev-York Industrial Estates Inc. te, the ITown's officiai, plan review. Despite a plea from the develo- prthat the proposai, is appro- riate, council feit it might lead snmiarrequests for spot zon- ing from other developers and that. an overall policy may b. Re-okwishes .te .buiid' a 16-lot industriai subdivision on 45 acres of vacant -land at the southwest corner cof Victoria St. and Hopkins St. About five acres 'of the pro- pry would be used frteat dealership, gas bar ýand offices while t he remainder wouîd remain industrial. The site now has a restricted industriai zonmng and is designa-. ted industrialin iboth Vtbys and Durham Region's officiai plans. Town planning staff have recommended against the appli- cation for fear of setting'a pre- cedent for this type of spot zon- ing. But councii's planning and development committee felt the pro posai warranted further study and last week recommen- ded deferring the matter te the officiai plan: review now under- way. Llyd Cherniak of Rev-York aperdbefore committee laut week and aid Town planning deparbnent' had presented a «one-sded' and «negamtive» reporte on the proposai, whichË Chermiak descrlbed as a "new concept» Company spokesman Jsp Lebovic appear-ed before couci te argue agaiat, sending the matter te tbs officiai plan review. -Despite the property1s indus the proposai is compatible wiîth uses permitted under Durham's *Officiai plan. According to a staff report commercial use allowed in in-, dustrial'areas under the current Officiailp ian include banks.- offices and restaurants. Taking note of this fact, Lebo- vic tried-te alleviate worries that the deveiopment will. reduce the Town's inventoiy of industrial land. '?rhe waLy the zoning ie now, we could buiid 700,000 sq. ft. of restaurants there and you wouid have no industrial land,» said Imbovic. Instead, oniy 60,000 sq. ft. wiii be developed or commercial use and of that amount, about one- third wili be for the car dealer- shipsad Lebovic. «It gives us another way of enhancing the proper »,he said. Làebovic admîitted h e had no strong objections te efrrngte proposai te theoffciai plan review, utdid-notse h necesit of doing so. «W'etaking something that is commercial and adding te it were flot changing anything/!' said Lebovic. uThere is no rush ... but I dont think it was presented fairiy to, you b you own commissioner.7 Upnhear*ng this remark, conilorJoe Drumm wsqik te defend Ianig dirct Bo Short and &tledelpartment. S"I -don't like people takting shots at our staff,» said Drumin. "The staff recommendation was te turn it down, but the committee has gone a long way to accommodate you ana you don't want that.7 Driunm then asked Lebovic if he hadlany clients for the pro- Lebovic said he did not, but added that it wili be' difficuit without *changing the officiai plan designation. Counciior Marcel' Brunelle said council was faoed with a difficuit choice. «We have te decide that spot zoning issomething special for cept cf this type of deveiopment in industriai zonn ô swee said Brunelle. "T1he question is,1 do we believe spot- zoning here, te spur deve- lopment, is imorder?' Brunelle said the land has been zoned industriai for severai years and no firm proposais have come forward. «Perhaps what is neceusary in, this location is a flagging or some type of deveiopment te spark interest,» he added." Councilior Tom Edwards, however, expressed -concern about Iosing valuable industriai land. «If we slice off large parts cf industriai land we won't be able' te, have industiy for jobs for the piope who, may someday live in housest his 'developr A build,» &*tid Edwards.pe y Couniuilor-'Boss Batten, plan- ning and development commiittee chan-man, said- the committee, feit referring, thé matter wouid benefit both parties.',,ý> 'W ei t wa in their best interests to proceed in this man- ner and it- certainly is in the muncplt'best béat intereet,,» said Batten "We'll not oniy. have reviewed this as an application on this particular Iiece of property but ail industriai land inthe com- muinit Y.» OTOSI4CX f I xprs e. ,2ND SET 0OF PRINTS o ahri ExpresFeb .61991 Corne On ln and we'II give you a second set of pnints o ahrl Iof C-41 colour print film processed.
