and Rezoning applications, to implement the recommendations of the Main Street
Unionville Land Use and Parking Study.
Committee was advised that 230
notices were mailed on December 18, 2002, and a public meeting notice was
published in the Markham Economist & Sun on Tuesday, December 17, 2002.
There were no written submissions received.
Staff gave a presentation regarding the background of the

community regarding restaurant uses, displacement of retail uses, and lack of
parking. Staff detailed the findings of the study and the resulting
recommendations that will involve adopting a new Secondary Plan and zoning
by-law for the area, and extending the Interim Control By-law until after the
expiry of the appeal date for proposed by-laws.
Mr.
Richard Talbot, 10 Station Lane, requested that definitions be included in the
by-laws to clarify office and retail uses. Mr. Talbot provided comments
regarding the Stiver Mills property, and the restaurant use at 141, 143, and
145 Main Street.
Mr.
Gary Davis, tenant at 159 Main Street, requested clarification with respect to
the calculation of percentage of existing restaurant uses, and suggested the
Planing Mill should be included. Mr. Davis discussed his concerns regarding cash-in-lieu
of parking, and requested clarification of several points. The Chair suggested

the staff report dated December 18, 2002, and requested a deferral to allow

suggested extension of the Interim Control By-law is not required, as it is
automatically extended when a zoning by-law is passed.
Mr.
Doug Denby, 137 Main Street, requested additional time to examine the
proposals, and discussed Bed & Breakfast uses.
Mr.
Paul Conway, 174 Main Street, questioned if floodplains could be used for

incentives for retail uses, consolidation of existing zoning amendments, and
the possibility of a Parking Authority. Committee noted the lengthy process and
extensive public consultation that has gone into this project.
At the conclusion
of this matter, Committee dealt with extension of the Interim Control By-law
separately.
