Staff Report to Council Application No.: 7923-0202-00 Planning & Development Report Page 4 • Under Development Application No. 7915-0305-00, the site was rezoned from Community Commercial 8 Zone (C-8) and Commercial 15 Zone (C-15) to Comprehensive Development Zone (CD) (Bylaw No. 19299) and a detailed Development Permit was issued to permit the development of a 35-storey residential high rise and a 6-storey residential low rise building with limited ground floor commercial uses. • Following Final Adoption of CD Bylaw No. 19299 and issuance of the detailed Development Permit No. 7915-0305-00, the applicant’s market research indicated there was demand for new office/retail space in this location. Subsequently, the applicant pursued an amendment (Application No. 7920-0018-00) to their previously approved proposal, which allowed them to convert the 6-storey residential building proposed along Whalley Boulevard to a 6-storey office building and to convert the residential townhouses proposed along 136A Street to retail and/or office space (CD Bylaw No. 20253). • The applicant is seeking to operate a pharmacy in conjunction with a medical clinic in the retail/office space along 136A Street.

The two businesses will occupy one unit and provide accessible and convenient health-care services to residents. Small-scale drugstores and medical clinics are both permitted uses in the CD Zone. • The proposed pharmacy will occupy approximately 46 square metres of the gross floor area available within the unit. • The proposed pharmacy meets the definition of "small-scale drug store", in Zoning Bylaw No. 12000, which is defined as "a commercial establishment with a gross floor area of less than 600 square metres which fills a broad range of pharmaceutical prescriptions and excludes methadone dispensary". • To regulate the over-concentration of small-scale drug stores and methadone dispensaries, Section B.32 of Part 4, General Provisions of Zoning By-law No.12000 stipulates that a small- scale drug store shall not be located within 400 metres of an existing drug store, small-scale drug store, or methadone dispensary. The 400-metre separation distance is measured from lot line to lot line. • Within a 400-metre radius of the subject site, there are three existing pharmacies (shown in Appendix II):
