2. Application by BTB Real Estate Investment Trust

An application by BTB Real Estate Investment Trust (owner) for a Zoning Bylaw Amendment (Rezoning) at 805 Boundary Road, legally described as Part of Lot D, Concession 1 (Parts 1 – 7, Plan RP52R6902), City of Cornwall.

The nature of the amendment is to rezone the subject site from Manufacturing 40 (MFR40) to a new hybrid Manufacturing 40 (MFR40) zone, incorporating numerous permitted uses from the other existing Manufacturing type zones found in the City’s Comprehensive Zoning Bylaw.

The intent is to allow a sufficient range of use to facilitate attraction of an expanded tenant mix within a comprehensive phase redevelopment
of the approximate 18 acre parcel. The proposal will ultimately see both existing renovated and new constructed space, on multiple building pads, forming a contemporary Business Park project at the southwest corner of Boundary Road and Marleau Avenue.

The property subject to this rezoning is depicted on the accompanying Map at top right.
