Lot 6 - Adding to Cumberland's retail profile

Occupying a strategic position along the Inland Island Highway, Lot 6 is planned to support Cumberland's original OCP vision of increased commercial development along the Highway. With a focus on medium-to-large format retail, Lot 6 will add a variety of goods and services to Cumberland's retail mix, most of which cannot be offered in the core of the Village due to store size and parking requirements.


Lot 6 - Illustrative Concept Plan, January 2007

Trilogy's Concept Plan shows a series of retail stores comprising a maximum of 350,000 square feet on Lot 6, with the largest of these retailers occupying up to 140,000 square feet. In the remaining area, smaller merchants will create a transition between the visual impact of larger-format stores and the natural landscape, at the same time benefiting from the traffic that the larger stores generate.

While residential development is not currently contemplated here, the proposed zoning amendment will allow a maximum 100,000 sq. ft. of Multi-family residential as part of the total density, should the commercial market need to be supplemented over the next few years.

Providing convenient and safe means of access

The retail development on Lot 6 will require the construction of a new internal roadway across Lots 5, 6 and 7, connecting to the Comox Valley Parkway at the north end, and Royston Road to the south. This new "Cumberland Parkway" (which is illustrated on the Concept Plan with a triple row of trees) is planned as a divided arterial road, with left turning lanes along its length providing safe and clear access to the retail.

In addition, a dedicated path along the Highway will link with the Village trail system throughout Lots 5, 6 and 7, ensuring that pedestrians and cyclists are also able to travel safely.
