- The
recommended amendment is in keeping with the policies for secondary permitted
uses for the Auto-Oriented Commercial Corridor designation of the Official
Plan.
- The
recommended zone increases the opportunities to establish new commercial uses
in vacant units within an existing commercial plaza, which have similar
impacts to existing uses, and are compatible with the existing commercial
uses and surrounding neighbourhood.

recommended special provision recognizes the existing lot frontage, building
location and parking area as being suitable to accommodate the needs of the
permitted land uses, provided those uses occur within the existing building.
- The
recommended Zoning By-law amendment is in keeping with the permitted land
uses for the applicable Rapid Transit Corridor Place Type of The London
Plan. The recommended amendment will not inhibit the future redevelopment of
the land, on its own or in conjunction with neighbouring lands, to meet the intensity
and form policies of the Plan.
