Specifically these amendments apply to the Georgetown and Acton General Employment Area, and the Mansewood Rural Industrial Area. Proposed Official Plan Amendments The draft Official Plan Amendment is proposing to: Permit automotive outdoor storage uses (such as towing establishments and taxi service depots), and motor vehicle repair and auto body establishments on interior properties within the General Employment Area in Georgetown and Acton, and throughout the Rural Industrial Area in Mansewood. Permit outdoor storage uses on 303, 305, 307, 309, 311, 313, 315, and 317 Armstrong Avenue. Generally remove the requirement for a zoning by-law amendment when introducing permitted secondary uses (including uses such as commercial fitness centres, motor vehicle repair establishments, and restaurants) on industrial properties in Georgetown and Acton, depending on the location of the property within the employment areas in relation to non- employment areas. Proposed Zoning By-law Amendments To implement the proposed amendments to the Official Plan, revisions are also proposed to the Zoning By-law. The proposed revisions are as follows: Adding and/or amending definitions for Motor Vehicle Salvage Establishment and Motor Vehicle Storage Establishment; Introducing a new employment zone (Employment Two Zone) which would apply to the following properties: * In Georgetown - industrial properties that abut Mountainview Road, Maple Avenue, River Drive and Guelph Street and the property at 93 Mountainview Road N; * In Acton - industrial properties that abut Guelph Street, Perth Street and the property known as 36 Vimy Street (known as Superior Glove); Expand the permissions in the existing Employment One Zone to include new commercial fitness centres, commercial self storage facilities, motor vehicle body shops, storage and repair establishments, and taxi service depot/dispatch establishments (applicable to properties that are located in the interior of the Georgetown and Acton Employment Areas). Permit industrial uses and a range of secondary uses in the new Employment Two Zone. Due to the visibility of these properties from arterial roads and residential zones, this zone is not proposed to permit outdoor storage uses, commercial self storage facilities, new motor vehicle body shops, storage or repair establishments, and transport terminals. Permit new commercial self storage facilities, motor vehicle body shops, motor vehicle repair garages, motor vehicle storage establishments a n d t a x i s e r v i c e d e p o t s / d i s p a t c h establishments in the Mansewood Rural Employment Zone.
