JUSTIFICATION FOR REQUEST

Transport Terminal conforms to the Industrial designation in the OP and Manufacturing Districts 1 (Light Industrial / Business Park) Transportation Shipping (MD1.3) zone in By-law 8600. The MD1.3 zone is specifically intended to apply to transportation and shipping related uses.

Our lands are 14.76 ha in size, which is more than enough to accommodate the permitted Transport Terminal.

Our lands are paved, gated and provide a safe and secure location for the storage of vehicles.

Our lands are bounded on three sides by Commercial Centre and Commercial Corridor land uses, which are compatible with the Transport Terminal use.

Our lands are approximately 1.3 km from Provincial Highway 401, an ideal location for a transportation and shipping related land uses. An LCV destination terminal must be within 2 km of a 400 series Provincial Highway.

The land use considerations justifying the passing of the ICBL do not apply to our lands. Transport Terminal is an outright permitted use; it is in an appropriate location and of an appropriate size. This is evident by the City of Windsor providing consent for an LCV inbound route to the subject lands as a destination terminal.

CONCLUSION

Considering that our request to exempt our lands from the application of the Interim Control By-law 78-2019 it reasonable and that all conditions to properly operate a Transport Terminal are met, we look forward to receiving a positive response at the earliest. I would like to discuss with you to give you more information on this subject.

Sincerely, Daniel Goyette President
