REQUEST FOR PUBLIC COMMENT ON A ZONING BYLAW TEXT AMENDMENT APPLICATION

Zoning Bylaw Text Amendment for 805 Boyd Street (REZ00202)

Comment Period from September 28 to October 12, 2020

WHAT IS THE ZONING BYLAW TEXT AMENDMENT FOR 805 BOYD STREET ABOUT?

A Rezoning Application has been received to amend the text of the existing Large Format Commercial Districts (C-10) zoning to allow a Self-Improvement School as a permitted use within the current zone. The applicant has indicated that the proposed text amendment is necessary to allow for a future tenant known as the Kumon Learning Centre to occupy an existing vacant commercial building. Kumon is an independent learning program providing out-of-school based learning opportunities for children, where instructors and assistants tailor instruction for individual students. The proposal satisfies the Queensborough Community Plan land use designation of (QC) – Queensborough Commercial by providing a complimentary use to the child care use which is already permitted within the C-10 zoning district.
