MEETING: Committee of the Whole - Development Services - 13 Dec 2021

TO: Kris Boland, CAO for Mayor & Council

FROM: Ken Newman, Planning Manager SUBJECT: Development Permit No. 16-2021 - 4603 Keith Ave (TDL Group Ltd./Dillon

Consulting Ltd.) ATTACHED: DP 16-2021 Tim Hortons

RECOMMENDATION(S): That Development Permit No. 16-2021 be issued to TDL Group Ltd. for the property legally described as Lot 1 District Lot 360 Range 5 Coast District Plan 42116 located at 4603 Keith Avenue to permit the construction of the proposed restaurant.

PURPOSE: To consider approval of a Development Permit (DP) application to permit the redevelopment of the new Tim Hortons restaurant building at 4603 Keith Avenue. The DP is required to ensure the integration of best practices in design for development on commercial lands and to assess that the proposal is compatible with the guidelines under the Official Community Plan.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION: On December 2, 2021, Dillon Consulting Ltd. submitted an application for a DP for the property located at 4603 Keith Avenue on behalf of the property owner, TDL Group Ltd. The property owner is proposing to reconstruct the Tim Hortons restaurant, which had been destroyed by fire in 2019. The agent has indicated the work is to commence next spring with anticipated re-opening of the restaurant by September 2022. The proposed restaurant will be built on the same footprint as the previous Tim Hortons. The Gross Floor Area is 2,700.5 ft2 and will provide 44 seats to patrons. The existing landscaping, parking, and the drive-thru configuration was not impacted by the fire and is not proposed to change. Changes have been made to the building design. This restaurant will be designed in the Tim Hortons ‘arena theme’ which incorporates elements of hockey into the interior and exterior. The exterior finishes will be typical of Tim Hortons, using brick and mortar, aluminum siding in an earth tone color scheme with accents of red and deep brown. Height of the building is slightly taller than the previous

AGENDA ITEM #1.1.

building, which is to mask the mechanical equipment located on the roof. The proposed height meets the maximum height regulation for principal buildings under the Zoning Bylaw. The outside patio is slightly larger and will provide seating for an additional 14 patrons. The existing drive-thru menu boards will be upgraded with new digital menu boards. The addition of two bike parking spaces will be incorporated into the site as required under the parking regulations of the Zoning Bylaw.

DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS: A building permit has been submitted and is currently under review. Building Inspection staff have reviewed the application for code issues and have no concerns.

The applicant is required to apply for a sign permit for the proposed signage. To date, a Sign Permit Application has not been submitted and signage will be considered as part of that separate application review process. The property is designated Commercial under the Official Community Plan and is within the Commercial DP Area. The Commercial DP Area ensures the coordination and integration of best practices in design and the general character for development on commercial lands. It is also intended to ensure that commercial development is visually attractive and compatible with the surrounding properties and is buffered from adjacent residential uses. It is noted that improvements could be made to support pedestrian movement within the parking area. Therefore, it is recommended that the following conditions be added to the permit.

1. Paint a 2.5-metre-wide zebra crossing lines from the northeast corner of the building to Kalum Street, to caution pedestrian movement in front of the drive-thru entrance to the patio;

2. Repaint all parking lines; and 3. Maintain landscape buffer by replacing any unhealthy shrubs, re-seeding grass, and re-edging

lawn that is encroaching into city sidewalk/road areas.

FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS: There are no financial implications associated with this report.

November 2019 Monster Industries purchased the properties from Progressive Ventures Ltd. and applied for a renewal of the TUP requesting a two year permit. In October 2019 Monster Industries was granted a TUP that expired on October 31, 2021. At the time of their 2019 TUP renewal application, Monster Industries provided a supporting letter that outlined their plans to work with the City to locate their operations to 5414 Highway 16, rezone the property to M1, dedicate land and construct a road to access the property and construct a 6000 ft² building on the property.

DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS: Staff on several occasions communicated with Monster Industries about their long-term plans for the property and to remind them that their TUP was expiring on October 31, 2021. In early October, Kyle Thomson, owner of Monster Industries provided some explanation for their delays in accomplishing their plans as outlined in 2019 and acknowledged they were not going to complete any of them before the expiry of the TUP. Mr. Thomson applied for a new TUP to permit the light industrial use to continue temporarily while their OCP and Zoning applications were processed. Following discussions with Mr. Thomson, staff supported consideration of the rezoning application of 5414 Highway 16 to Light Industrial and an application for a TUP in the event he would submit an application for the OCP/rezoning and commit to specific timelines for the construction of the road access and provide a substantial security deposit.

MEETING: Committee of the Whole - Development Services - 13 Dec 2021

TO: Kris Boland, CAO for Mayor & Council

FROM: Ken Newman, Planning Manager SUBJECT: OCP and Zoning Bylaw Amendments - 5414 Highway 16 West

RECOMMENDATION(S): That a bylaw to amend Official Community Plan Bylaw No. 2142-2018 by amending Schedule B – Future Land Use to change the land use designation from General Commercial to Industrial and by amending Schedule C – Development Permit Areas by removing the designation as Development Permit Area No. 5 – Commercial, and adding the designation for Development Permit Area No.6 – Industrial for the property legally described as Lot 6, District Lot 1745, Range 5, Coast District, Plan 1016 (5414 Highway 16) proceed to Council for consideration of first and second reading; and

That a bylaw to amend Zoning Bylaw No. 2069-2014 by changing the Zoning from C3 – Service Commercial to M1 – Light Industrial for the property legally described as Lot 6, District Lot 1745, Range 5, Coast District, Plan 1016 (5414 Highway 16) proceed to Council for consideration of first and second reading.

PURPOSE: To amend the Official Community Plan (OCP) and Zoning Bylaw for the property at 5414 Highway 16. The amendments would change the OCP land use designation from General Commercial to Industrial and change the Development Permit Area designation from Commercial to Industrial for the subject property. To also change the zoning of the subject property from C3 - Service Commercial to M1 – Light industrial to permit a proposed light industrial development on the property.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The subject property is zoned C3 – Service Commercial and is located on the north side of Highway 16 between Frank Street and Earle Street behind the property addressed as 5412 Highway 16, which is also zoned C3. Monster Industries Ltd. owns both properties and have been using the properties as a single site under the terms of a temporary use permit. Both properties are 0.477 ha (1.18 ac) is size. The 5412 Highway 16 property directly fronts Highway 16, with the 5414 Highway 16 property located directly behind it with an approximate 6 m wide undeveloped road dedication providing access to the highway along the western boundary of the two properties.

AGENDA ITEM #1.3.

Planning Manager – Official Community Plan and Zoning Bylaw Amendments –... Page 18 of 20

Page 19: Committee of the Whole - Development Services - 13 Dec

The only building on the properties is the former commercial garage building on the 5412 Highway 16 property that was occupied for many years and used as an aircraft hanger and office for White River Helicopters. In 2018 Monster Industries leased the subject properties from Progressive Ventures Ltd. and in October 2018 was granted a one year Temporary Use Permit (TUP) for a light industrial use. In November 2019 Monster Industries purchased the properties from Progressive Ventures Ltd. and applied for a renewal of the TUP requesting a two-year permit. In October 2019 Monster Industries was granted a TUP that expired on October 31, 2021. As part of their renewal application in 2019, they provided a supporting letter that outlined their plans for the properties including their wish to work with the City to locate their operations to 5414 Highway 16. In addition to this OCP and Zoning amendment application, Monster Industries has also applied for a new TUP application that will appear on the December 13, 2021 Council agenda.

DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS: Staff on several occasions, beginning in early 2021, communicated with Monster Industries about their long term plans for the property and to remind them that their TUP was expiring on October 31, 2021. In early October, Kyle Thomson, owner of Monster Industries provided some explanation of their delays in accomplishing the plans they had outlined in 2019 and acknowledged they were not going to complete any of them before the expiry of the TUP. Mr. Thomson submitted an application for another TUP to permit them to continue to operate on the commercial zoned properties while the OCP and Zoning amendments are processed. During discussions with Mr. Thomson, staff determined to consider support for a new TUP application if Monster Industries would apply to rezone 5414 Highway 16 to M1, which would permit their operation to move to the subject property for the long term. Staff supports the OCP and Zoning amendments for the subject property as the property doesn’t directly front the highway and the 5412 Highway 16 property would remain zoned for commercial uses. The property is adjacent to the north and east to the Skeena Sawmills property that is zoned M2 – Heavy Industrial and therefore the proposed amendments are considered to be compatible. For Monster Industries to achieve their long-term plans of locating their light industrial, fabrication and manufacturing operations on the 5414 Highway 16 property they will need to construct a municipal road to extend utilities and create an access to this property. Commitments to follow through with the construction of the road dedication and construction are contained in the terms of the TUP.

FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS: There are no financial implication associated with this report.

Page 20: Committee of the Whole - Development Services - 13 Dec

☐ Advocate for Community, Social & Environmental Issues ☐ Manage the Impacts of Growth ☒ Not Applicable

COMMUNICATIONS: Following the initial readings of the bylaws, a public notice will be circulated and the date set for a Public Hearing to be held regarding the proposed bylaw amendments. As this property is located within 800 metres of a Controlled Access Highway, and as per the Transportation Act, the bylaw must also be referred to the Ministry of Transport & Infrastructure (MoTI) for review and approval prior to adoption.

SUMMARY AND CONCLUSION: Monster Industries Ltd. has applied to amend both the OCP and Zoning Bylaw. The amendments will change the OCP land use designation to Industrial and change the Development Permit Area to Industrial. The changes to the Zoning Bylaw will change the property zoning from C3 to M1.
