Statutory 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.
