Proposed Bylaw 13/17 will provide for textual amendments to the R.M. of Corman Park Zoning Bylaw. The purpose of the amendments is to:

• Create three industrial Zoning Districts comprised of Schedule I – Business (B1) District, Schedule J - Light Industrial (M1) District and Schedule K - Heavy Industrial (M2) District to replace the current Schedule I - Rural Industrial Park 1 District (M1) and Schedule J - Rural Industrial 2 Park District (M2) and re-alphabetizing the remaining Schedules accordingly;
• Provide regulations for the new B1, M1, and M2 Zoning Districts including permitted uses, discretionary uses, lot sizes, setbacks and development standards;
• Replace the text “Buildings owned and operated by the Municipality” with “Municipal Facility” to better describe these uses;
• Replace “mineral resource” with “aggregate resource” where it appears in Section 4.11; in Section 2.2 under each of the AG, AR1 and AR2 Zoning Districts and in Section 6.63;
• Replace “animal health care service” with “Pet Care Facility” under Discretionary Uses in the AG, AR1, AR2, AR3, CR1, CR3 and CR4 Zoning Districts;
• Delete the words “Accommodation Service” where it appears throughout the Zoning Bylaw;
• Include “Abattoir”, “Animal Cemetery”, “Animal Columbarium”, “Animal Kennel”, “Auction Facility”, “Bulk Fuel Sales & Storage”, “Cemetery”, “Columbarium”, “Mausoleum”, and “Veterinary Clinic” as Discretionary Uses in the AG, AR1 and AR2 Zoning Districts;
• Include “Financial Institution”, “Food Service Use”, “Funeral Home”, “Municipal Facility”, “Personal Service Facility”, “Pet Care Facility”, “Recreational Vehicle Sales/Rentals”, “Vehicle Sales/Rentals”, and “Veterinary Clinic”, in the Commercial Zoning District;
• Clarify the definitions for “Mineral Resource”, “Agricultural Support Services”, “Cemetery”, “Crematorium”, “Mineral Resource Extraction Industry”, “Recreational Vehicle” and “Warehousing”; and
• Create a definition for “Abattoir”, “Aggregate Resource”, “Aggregate Resource Extraction Industry”, “Aggregate Resource Storage and Processing Operation”, “Animal Cemetery”, “Animal Columbarium”, “Animal Crematorium”, “Animal Funeral Home, “Animal Kennel”, Brewery”, “Business Support Service”, “Chemical Plant”, “Columbarium”, Commercial Complex”, “Commercial Compositing Operation”, “Distillery”, “Equipment Sales/Rentals”, Financial Institutions”, “Funeral Home”, “Gas Bar”, “Personal Service Facility”, “Pet Care Facility”, “Research Laboratory”, “Recreation Vehicle Sales/Rentals”, “Service Station”, “Vehicle”, “Vehicle Repair Shop”, “Vehicle Sales/Rentals”, “Vehicle/Equipment Wash”, “Veterinary Clinic” and renumbering the subsections accordingly.

In addition to the above, proposed Bylaw No. 13/17 will also rezone a number of properties currently zoned Rural Industrial Park 2 District (M2) to Light Industrial District (M1) and a number of properties currently zoned Rural Industrial Park 1 District (M1) to Heavy Industrial District (M2) to be consistent with the new Zoning Districts. 

Properties to be rezoned from M2 to M1 and from M1 to M2 can be viewed here. Complementary amendments (Bylaw 12/17) are proposed to the R.M. of Corman Park Development Plan (OCP) in relation to these textual amendments.
