Surrey planning report 7922-0202-00

Staff Report to Council Application No.: 7922-0202-00 Planning & Development Report Page 6  The applicant proposes to amend CD By-law No. 17031, as amended, to add a small-scale drug store, limited to a maximum floor area of 45-square metres, as a permitted retail use (Appendix III).  The small-scale drug store will operate in conjunction with a new medical clinic as a joint, inter-related facility. The two businesses will occupy two units and provide accessible and convenient health-care services to residents. The medical clinic is a permitted use under CD Bylaw No. 17031, while the small-scale drug store is not, requiring an amending to the CD Bylaw.  The CD Bylaw amendment will also remove all reference to imperial units to conform to current Zoning Bylaw formatting as approved by Council under Zoning Bylaw Amendment No. 20300, adopted September 27, 2021 (Corporate Report 2021-R166).  No other changes are proposed to the CD Zone.  Staff support the proposed amendment to CD By-law No. 17031 to permit the small-scale drug store, as it is considered a compatible use with the new medical clinic and with the other office and general service uses permitted under the current CD Zone and other existing businesses in this commercial complex. Variance  The applicant is requesting the following variance:  In Section E.28 of Part 4 General Provisions of the Zoning Bylaw No. 12000, the minimum separation requirement between drug stores, small-scale drug stores or methadone dispensaries is reduced from 400 metres to 20 metres to permit a small-scale drug store at 7475 – 135 Street (Units 107 & 108).  The new medical clinic and proposed pharmacy will serve the area with in-person medical services that provide a long-term primary care benefit to Newton Town Centre. This differs from the pharmacy included within Costco Wholesale, which serves the general community not looking for a variety of medical services in one business.  The proposed pharmacy meets the definition of small-scale drug store in the Zoning Bylaw, 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.  The applicant is proposing the small-scale drug store to operate in conjunction with a new medical clinic as a joint, inter-related facility. The proposal offers a comprehensive health care approach by serving the patients of the proposed clinic.  A Section 219 Restrictive Covenant will be registered on title to allow the small-scale drug store to operate only in conjunction with the medical clinic, and to require the small-scale drug store to have the same hours of operation as the medical clinic.  No adverse impacts to the neighbourhood are anticipated by the proposed variance.
