c) the
request to amend Zoning By-law No. Z.-1 to change the zoning of the property

current zoning for this property is appropriate, promotes neighbourhood
stability, and maintains commercial uses oriented to the arterial road and

residential neighbourhood;

requested amendment has the potential to create negative impacts on the
abutting land owners resulting from the further expansion of a commercial use
into a stable residential area;

encroachments into the stable residential neighbourhood and erode the
residential character of the area; and,

requested amendment is not consistent with the Official Plan criteria used to
evaluate proposals to expand Auto-Oriented Commercial Corridor designations;
