Sections 40 Light Industrial (LI), table 40.3, 41 General Industrial (GI),
table 41.3, and 42 Heavy Industrial (HI), table 42.3 of the Z.-1 Zoning
By-law to change the height and setback regulations for industrial buildings;
b)
add,
to the bottom of tables 40.3, 41.3, and 42.3, the following footnote: “It
being noted that lands within the approach, outer, or transitional surface(s)
of the London International Airport are subject to the London Airport Zoning
Regulations, Chapter 93 of the Aeronautics Act.”;
c)
amend
Section 4.19 b) ‘Parking Standard Areas 2 and 3 parking requirements are as
follows’, to permit a parking rate of 1/200m2 for the following uses:
Advanced Manufacturing Industrial Uses, Advanced Manufacturing Educational
Uses, and Manufacturing Establishments; and,
d)
amend
Section 4.13 LOADING SPACE REQUIREMENTS, subsection 5) “ACCESS TO LOADING
SPACES” by adding the following paragraph to the end of the subsection:
On roads identified
as “secondary collector” or “local street” in the Zoning By-law, and where the
existing premises are zoned to permit Industrial use(s) vehicles may be
permitted to maneuver into loading areas using the road allowance where
necessary. Where a new building is proposed, the development shall provide
sufficient space for the maneuvering of vehicles on the lot so as not to
obstruct or otherwise cause a hazard on adjacent streets.;
it being noted that no individuals spoke at
the public participation meeting associated with this matter;
it being further noted that the Municipal
Council approves this application for the following reasons:
•
businesses
which develop and occupy industrial buildings are subject to a highly
competitive environment where they must almost always seek the lowest cost
and shortest time period from concept to production;
•
efficiency
and flexibility are vital to attracting and retaining industrial clients in
the current marketplace. The recommendations herein are made with the intent
of furthering goals outlined in the Provincial Policy Statement, City of
London Official Plan, London Plan, London’s Strategic Plan, and Community
Economic Road Map through amending industrial regulations impacting municipal
industrial development efforts;
•
the
recommended amendments are consistent with, and will serve to implement, the
policies of the Provincial Policy Statement, 2014 (2014 PPS), which promotes
cost-effective development patterns and standards to minimize land
consumption and servicing costs. As well, the 2014 PPS directs planning
authorities to… “take into account the needs of existing and future
businesses.”;
•
the
recommended amendments are consistent with, and will serve to implement, the
policies of the Official Plan by encouraging an efficient utilization of land
within industrial areas, providing for the continuation and improvement of
inner-city industrial lands, and providing opportunities within existing
industrial areas for new, compatible industries; furthermore, as the Official
Plan states, the transportation system shall be designed to provide for
parking that is, “…adequate for the land uses (it) supports, and developed to
a standard which promotes compatibility with adjacent land uses. Council may
consider a policy to limit the maximum amount of parking spaces to support a
proposed development.”;
• the
recommended amendments are consistent with, and will serve to implement, the
policies of the London Plan by demonstrating that we understand the needs and
demands of the sectors we hope to attract, and by creating a competitive
industrial advantage for London which supports the growth of industrial
sectors; as well, the London Plan states that the Zoning By-law is to ensure
that excessive amounts of parking are not required; requirements may be lower
within those place types and parts of the city… that are close to employment
areas, office areas, and other uses that generate high levels of attraction;
the recommended amendments are consistent with, and serve to implement, the
London Plan with regard to the accommodation of on-site truck movements for
loading, unless it is deemed appropriate to utilize streets where there are
no viable alternatives;
•
the
recommended amendments are consistent with, and serve to implement the
Community Economic Road Map, and in turn the Strategic Plan, by supporting
opportunities for economic growth and by working to streamline the industrial
development process; and,
•
the
recommended amendments are consistent with the general intent of the Z.-1
Zoning By-law, which provides regulations for Industrial zones and land
uses. (2017-D09)

emergency leave, schedule rules, minimum wage increases, pay for temporary help
agency employees and pay for casual, part-time, temporary and seasonal

potential impact these proposal may have of the Corporation. The City Manager

reporting back on the implications of the proposed legislative changes.
