Good Morning Jeff,
The Interim Control By-law (ICBL) prohibiting Transport Terminals is still in effect. The ICBL prevents staff from processing any application to rezone the parcel. However, property owners can request that there property be exempt from the ICBL which requires that staff prepare a short report with options that is reviewed by the Development & Heritage Standing Committee (DHSC) and then considered by Council.
There is no formal application and no feet to request an exemption from the ICBL. A letter or email requesting, and your reasons for, the exemption addressed/sent to Thom Hunt, City Planner, will suffice. Your email dated June 25, 2020 contains information that should probably be included in the letter.
If the exemption is approved, you may move forward with rezoning application for the subject parcel.
I am out of the office and will return on Monday, July 6th.
Sincerely,
Adam Szymczak, MCIP, RPP
Senior Planner

Good morning Adam, is has been a bit since we have talked, hope all is well.
We last discussed this in January and I was waiting for some guidance on my request below, I understand due the world being on hold for last while this has not progressed very far.
The current property owner received a bylaw notice so I am assuming the city is getting back to normal staffing levels so we can pick this up again. ( see attached )
I am including Dante in this email so we are all on the same page.
Recent updates: We were fortunate enough to be able to operate at near full capacity throughout the pandemic as we haul a high percentage of household goods. We continue to have no issues with this property with regards to the houses directly behind the lot. I actually have developed a bit of back and forth with one of the home owners, he seems to be the spokesman for a few his neighbours.
He approached me about our plans for cutting some weeds and brush, we had discussion about where they would like weeds and brush knocked down and where they would like left alone, the trees and brush have filled in along the fence that borders the homes and the yard and is providing a nice natural barrier between the properties. We recently had a contractor in to take care of the weeds and brush as the homeowners requested.
