Councillors endorsed the projects for Stockworth mgb and Quorum Development on Dec. 17. In doing so, the worst fears of the Port Perry Business Improvement Area (BIA) have been realized 'as mem- bers of the group have urged council over the past few months not to create two commercial nodes at opposite ends of the downtown. After passing a resolution to send the proposed Canadian Tire development to Durham Region for approval, council turned their attention to the" 'rezoning of the Quorum lands at the west end of Port Perry for another retail commercial development. The rezoning opens the door for construction of more than 100,000 square-feet of retail space, which could include a supermarket, which has already been approved by council. But the rezoning -- which has been a major bone of -contention for residents who live in proximity to the land and the BIA, who have forwarded suggestions for restrictions on the development -- was passed unani- ~'mously Monday night. Quorum Development Planner Jamie Bennett recent- ly objected to the elimination of some uses, saying the bylaw's restrictions represented an impediment in securing potential retail tenants. Initially, the uses not permitted on the Westport site included a Liquor Control Board outlet, a post office, gift shops, antique stores and specialty apparel stores. While the final draft of the bylaw leaves an opening for a LCBO store on the Quorum site in the future, it would only be allowed on condition that a liquor store is retained somewhere in the general commercial zone of downtown Port Perry). Another contentious issue for the developer is the proposed restrictions on the size of stores. The pro- posed bylaw would limit stores locating in the Westport Center development to a minimum of 2,000 square-feet and a maximum of 4,000 square-feet. Last week Mr. Bennett asked that the floor space "cap" be deleted, but it was retained in the passing bylaw. Council has also recently received two letters from Aird & Berlis, the law firm which represents Loblaw Properties Limited, the owners of - the "Your Independent Grocer" store in Port Perry. Lawyer Steven A. Zakem wrote to express their oppo- sition to the application of Stockworth mbg Limited to seek a third commercial node and to show support for the application for Development lands. rezoning of the Quorum , With the bylaw approved, Quorum Development can now begin to approach prospective tenants to occupy 3 the Westport Centre site.
