REFUSED. Lowe's Home Improvement had applied for an Official Plan Amendment and a Zoning By-Law Amendment for a new store at 1085 Gardiners Road. (West side of Gardiners Road at Norris Court, south of Tim Horton's warehouse, North of Richvale York Block).
This was going to be a large store on 6 hectares (15 acres), with a total floor area of 16,167 square meters (174,000 sq. ft.) which would be 35,000 - 55,000 sq. ft. larger than Home Depot or Rona.
The land is zoned for Industrial purposes, Lowe's would need Commercial zoning. Planning Department has stuck with their guns, that area is for Industrial, Business Parks and the like.
Maybe they will take another look at Kings Crossing (Division & 401) ?
The full report is 111 pages....
