Lot 7 - Signalling a change
One of the lots forming the junction of the Inland Island Highway and Royston Road, Lot 7 is a tiny sliver of land that forms part of the gateway to the Village for local Comax Valley travellers. As retail and commercial throughout the Valley continues to grow, it is important that zoning for all land at the Cumberland gateways be supportive of the type of enterprises that indicate that the Village is is a pro-active, vibrant business community.
Lot 7 - Illustrative Concept Plan, May 2008
Under its proposed Comprehensive Commercial zoning application, Trilogy intends to provide a platform for gateway or "town entry" businesses to capture Royston Road traffic. Like Lots 3A and 3B, businesses on Lot 7 may include retail, restaurant, automobile sales and services, and gas stations, as well as offices, institutional uses and light industries. The proposed density here is a maximum of 30,000 sq. ft. gross floor area.
Providing Safe Access
Primarily facing Royston Road, one of the challenges facing the development of Lot 7 is safe vehicular access. As seen in the Concept Plan, Trilogy is proposing a new access road off Royston at the eastern end of the property, which is deemed far enough from the Highway to provide a safe entry and exit point. This road would serve as the primary access to Lot 7, and would link to the complementary commercial establishments across the road on Lot 8A.
