 Commercial designation on the roadside, Planner Richardson to draw up 
the maps to show; 
 Should not create split zones; 
 Possibly changing commercial setbacks, risk of getting into too much 
control; 
 Buffer along Maple Drive, move line to just beyond the creek, north of 
the creek that is fairly parallel to Maple Drive; 
 Zone boundary already comes on the downtown side of the creek; 
 This would add another schedule to the official community plan. 
 
b) Amend the OCP Land Use Designations of a number of properties within the 
Miners Bay Commercial Core as shown in Appendix 2 of the staff report 
dated January 22, 2018 from “Settlement Residential” to “Commercial”.

 Target mail owners in the area;

be needed. 
 
c) Amend the OCP to place the whole area shown as the Miners Bay 
Commercial Core in Appendix 1 in the Development Permit Area fo
