2026 & 2036 Plains Rd EStatutory public meeting – 2026 and 2036 Plains Rd E (Burlington Hyundai)

Staff report recommends approval of a Zoning By-law amendment to permit motor vehicle storage on the vacant land.

The existing zoning is MXC (mixed-use commercial corridor) and the rezoning would be to the proposed MXC – Exception 457 zone in order to permit motor vehicle storage, which would be associated with the Burlington Hyundai car dealership.

The MXC zone permits a variety of retail commercial, service commercial, office, community, hospitality, automotive, entertainment and recreation, and residential uses. However, this zone designation does not permit a parking lot or motor vehicle storage as a stand-alone use. It is only the presence of the creek block physically separating these lots that causes the need for the subject rezoning.

I was inspired to seek public office because I believe, like so many of you, “I can do something about that” on the issues we face. As councilor, my role is to take a stand on what’s best for residents and go to bat for it. Pushback is inevitable from those who don’t have the community’s interests at heart. I will stand with you and for you, to achieve the best interests of our city, without caving to unacceptable compromise in the name of consensus.

What's your take?
