BACKGROUND: Chantelle Management Ltd. is the owner of a property located at 9102 – 196A Street in the Northwest Langley Industrial area. The property (zoned General Industrial M-2) is developed with an industrial building with ground floor warehouse space/associated small office area (currently vacant) and second floor office space (occupied by Chantelle Management Ltd). Chantelle Management Ltd. is a care home management company which owns six care facilities in BC, Alberta and the U.S. The company’s corporate headquarters are located at the Langley site, which provides leadership, oversight and administrative services (including accounting, payroll, human resources, strategic planning, training and purchasing) to the six care facilities. The property’s M-2 zoning permits a range of general industrial uses, as well as “office uses accessory to permitted industrial uses”. Office uses which are not related to a permitted industrial use are not accommodated currently by the property’s existing zoning. Chantelle’s office use is currently non-conforming, as it is not related to a permitted industrial use on the same property. DISCUSSION / ANALYSIS: Teck Construction LLP has applied (on behalf of Chantelle Management Ltd.) to rezone the subject property to Comprehensive Development Zone CD-14 to permit the continued operation of Chantelle’s office use in the existing industrial building. The subject property is located in the Northwest Langley Industrial area, and is surrounded by other developed industrial properties which are all zoned General Industrial Zone M-2. The predominant uses in the area are warehousing/distribution and light industrial operations. There are office uses in the area, but these have been developed as accessory to an industrial use on the same premises.
REZONING APPLICATION NO. 100331 (CHANTELLE MANAGEMENT LTD.) Page 7 . . .
The current use of the second floor of the building for office purposes (not related to a permitted industrial use on the same site) does not comply with the property’s M-2 zoning. Rezoning of the property to Comprehensive Development Zone CD-14 would allow the Chantelle office use to continue operation. The CD-14 zone was originally created in 1997 in conjunction with the initial rezoning and subdivision of a light industrial/office park area (“Taylor Ventures”) located between 200 and 202 Streets, and between 92A and 96 Avenues. The CD-14 zone permits most of the lighter impact service industrial uses allowed in the M-1A zone, along with offices and other uses traditionally found in office parks. The intent of the CD-14 zone was to provide for low impact industrial uses in combination with office park uses, to act as a transitional land use between the residential areas to the east (east of 202 Street in Walnut Grove) and the established industrial areas to the west 200 Street. The rezoning of the subject property to CD-14 will legitimize an existing non-conforming office use on a site specific basis. The existing building and uses will comply with the provisions of the Zoning Bylaw, which require 6 parking spaces for the warehouse portion of the building and 15 spaces for the office uses. A total of 23 parking spaces currently exist on the site. Environmental: The Township’s Environmentally Sensitive Areas (E.S.A.) Study identifies the property as forming part of the Walnut Grove Aquifer area. As the property is fully serviced, no adverse environmental impacts are anticipated related to the proposed change in zoning. Tree Protection/ Replacement: As the property is already developed, there are no requirements related to the Tree Protection Bylaw with respect to the rezoning application. Servicing: There are no servicing requirements for the rezoning application as the property is already fully serviced. Development Prerequisites: There are no development prerequisites to be finalized prior to final reading of the rezoning bylaw. POLICY CONSIDERATIONS: The proposed rezoning accommodates the continued operation of an existing office use on the subject property. No negative impacts on the surrounding industrial area are anticipated from the proposed rezoning, as the office use is compatible with the General Industrial M-2 zoning surrounding the site.
