SARKA: THAT the minutes of the meeting of the Municipal Planning Commission (MPC) held on August 14, 2012 be approved CARRIED PROPOSED OUTLINE PLAN COPPERWOOD STAGE 2 : File No: , Stantec Consulting Ltd., on behalf of Daytona Development Corp., has applied for outline plan approval for approximately 62 hectares (152 acres) of un-developed land lying south of the existing Copperwood neighbourhood. Development Officer s Presentation: Barry Peat, Senior Subdivision Planner, presented the Copperwood Stage 2 Outline Plan which is for approximately 62 hectares (152 acres) of un-developed land lying south of the existing Copperwood neighbourhood. It has been prepared in accordance with the policies and objectives outlined in West Lethbridge Phase II Area Structure Plan approved by City Council in 2005 and provides a more detailed planning and engineering framework to guide the phased subdivision and development of this new neighbourhood. The Outline Plan envisions predominantly low density residential development, and represents a continuation of the planning and development that was initiated with the previous phases of the Copperwood neighbourhood. The plan also includes medium density multi-family sites and duplex lots, a site for a future elementary school and in the easterly plan area, a park with a storm water management facility/wet pond. Pedestrian connectivity throughout the community will guide residents to the water feature and the future school site as well as the existing open space of the Stage 1 area. At full build out, this plan area could house an additional 2200 people in 882 dwelling units.

5 Road access to the neighbourhood is provided from Whoop-Up Drive, through the existing neighbourhood and from Metis Trail, a future arterial roadway which forms the plan s easterly boundary. A Transportation Impact Analysis has been prepared to determine roadway classifications within the plan area. Notice of the MPC meeting was advertised on September 1, Adjacent property owners were also notified by letter of the proposed plan and invited to attend the MPC meeting. In conclusion, Mr. Peat stated that Development Services is in support of this Copperwood Stage 2 Outline Plan with the following condition: Future land use bylaw amendment applications and subdivision applications conform with this approval with respect to land use and street pattern to the satisfaction of the Approving Authority. Applicant s Presentation: Matt Girardo, Stantec Consulting, advised as follows: Outline Plan is an extension of Copperwood Stage 1 and continuing on with the same theme 150 acres of single family and medium density sites Stage 2 is located south of Stage 1 Working with City of Lethbridge, Parks Department, to create naturalized landscaping Other Presentations: There was no response to the Chairman s three calls for anyone else wishing to speak.

9 September 25, 2012 New Business 5.1 Page 2 of 4 LAND USE BYLAW SUMMARY Use: Entertainment Establishment Restaurant Discretionary Permitted Standard Proposed Waiver Parking NOTIFICATION SUMMARY Neighbourhood Assoc Neighbourhood N/A Letters were sent to 19 property owners within 60m of the parcel. We have not received any responses. EVALUATION Background Context Considerations The previous occupant of this building was the Downtown L.A. offices. In June 2012 we received and approved an application for a change of use at this location to a restaurant. August 16, 2012 we received a sign application for this location which is called Telegraph Tap House. The name Tap House indicated to us that this is not entirely a restaurant so we contacted the owner and informed him that the use is not that of a restaurant. The landowner made another change of use application for an entertainment establishment on August 27, This application is before the Commission because MPC policy states that all applications for entertainment establishments shall come before the Commission for a decision. The change of use from restaurant to entertainment establishment and restaurant has no effect on the parking requirement. Downtown Lethbridge is a commercial corridor and is a suitable location for this type of business. There is no residential development in the immediate vicinity of this location. The closest would be the condos on top of the Club Cigar Store. Legislation & Policy Integrated Community Sustainability Plan/Municipal Development Plan Lethbridge is a Good Place to Open and Operate a Business
