Core Refusal Reason
The proposed industrial development is incompatible with the 'Community Services/Facilities' zoning and would negatively impact residential amenity through noise and traffic.
Decision Maker's Conclusion
- The proposed light industrial use is not normally permitted on lands zoned for Community Services/Facilities, materially contravening Objective LUZO-01 of the Development Plan.
- The development fails to align with Objective LUZO-09, which reserves such lands for community, social, health, and educational services.
- The project would generate noise and traffic levels that conflict with Objective LUZO-03, which aims to protect the amenity and character of adjacent residential communities.
