The applicant would like to allow for a craft instruction and production business as well as a craft market (Retail Store) on the Parcel.

The applicant also seeks to allow for business industrial-type uses, such as offices and household repair services, in addition to the general industrial uses that are currently allowed on the Parcel.

The proposed rezoning would facilitate a potential change of use of the existing building to Medical and Health Office (Outpatient) to allow for a counselling office.

Applications are now open once again for the City of Lethbridge's Clean Energy Improvement Program (CEIP), which will provide homeowners with a financial tool to support energy efficiency and renewable energy upgrades to their properties.

The parcel would be rezoned to exclude the landscaping requirements, the site plan, and the landscaping plan found in Bylaw 6177. Bylaw 6417 carries forward the currently allowed Uses and most of the development requirements.

The proposed rezoning would allow for the development of a supportive housing facility with 30 units as well as a medical office and pharmacy, and for delegation of development approval authority to the Development Authority.

This Bylaw amends bylaw 6296 the Clean Energy Improvement Tax Bylaw to remove annual caps on funding the program, allowing more property owners to have access to funding sooner. It does not change the overall program spending limit.

Rezoning the site to I-B and I-G will retain many of the same uses that are allowed under the existing DC bylaw while still allowing the proposed development, as well as the subdivision and consolidation of parcels to occur.

The proposed rezoning will continue to allow for the uses under the existing DC Bylaw and introduce the following new uses: restaurants, retail store, and mixed use dwelling. Bylaw 6405 will continue to include measures to preserve the existing building.

This amendment will allow the continued use of Assisted Living Residential Care Facilities and Supportive Living Residential Care Facilities without the age restrictions that exist today that allow only seniors to be housed at this location.

This amendment will allow the existing single detached dwelling to be converted to a personal services use.
