Hwy 12 & 70 St Proposed Development:
A new public hearing has been set for a proposed commercial development in West Stettler.
A developer has filed an application to build a commercial strip mall with two restaurants and lease bays, as well as a separate quick-service restaurant with a drive-thru.
The lots located at 7002 & 7010 50 Ave, are to the west of the Western Canada Lottery Corporation building.
A recommendation was before council on Nov 5, to defeat the previous bylaw that passed second reading in September.
After seeking legal advice, administration was advised council should consider rezoning the area to a “DC-Commercial Neighbourhood District” instead of a “Commercial Highway” use.
Administration feels this will address concerns from surrounding residents about noise & garbage containment that were brought up in the first public hearing.
Council passed first reading on the land use bylaw amendment, which sets a public hearing for December 3, 2024 at the Stettler Town Office.
