“District of Houston Development Bylaw No. 1040, 2013” is proposed to be amended by Bylaw No. 1184 that would add the use of “car wash” to the Core Commercial (C1) Zone for the subject property.
The purpose of the proposed bylaw amendment is to legalize the existing automotive detailing business located on the subject property. This use has operated under a Temporary Use Permit (TUP) for the past three years, until it expired in September 2023. Instead of renewing the TUP, the applicant has applied to approve the use permanently through a rezoning application. This property is located at 3478 10th St, and is legally described as “Lot 11, 12 & 13, Block 26, Plan PRP1005, District Lot 622, Range 5, Coast Range 5 Land District”. The subject property is shown cross-hatched and labelled “Subject Property” on the map below.
The Public Hearing will be conducted virtually and in person. The public may participate in the meeting via Microsoft Teams Webinar (visit houston.ca for details and instructions) or provide comments to Council in writing. At the Public Hearing all persons who believe that their interest in property is affected by the proposed bylaw shall be afforded a reasonable opportunity to be heard or to present a written submission respecting matters contained in the bylaw that is the subject of the Public Hearing.
The public is strongly encouraged to submit written comments regarding the proposed bylaw amendments prior to the public hearing by email to corporate@houston.ca, or to the District of Houston Municipal Office located at 3367 12th Street, Box 370, Houston BC, V0J 1Z0, up to 6 hours prior to the hearing. All verbal and written submissions will become public records and will be published on an open meeting agenda. No further information or representations can be considered by Council after the public hearing.
