BACKGROUND: On June 24, 2013 Don Kirkby, owner of Grassy Creek Logging Ltd., submitted an application for a development permit for 4342 Lakelse A venue to construct a Campground with 14 Recreational Vehicle sites and the reuse of the existing building for laundry, storage & washroom facilities. The proposal meets the intent of the Official Community Plan (OCP) and Zoning Bylaw; and the applicant has submitted all items required by staff for the processing of the permit. The property is designated Highway Commercial in the OCP and is currently zoned C3 - Service Commercial as per Zoning Bylaw and is appropriate for this use. Mr. Kirkby recently purchased the former "Dog n' Suds" property and building with the intent to redevelop this commercial property as a small Campgroun dlrv park. The park will include 14 fully serviced RV sites with water, sanitary sewer and power. The property is largely paved and minimal clearing and placement of crush material is required to develop the sites across the rear of the property. The existing building will be renovated to provide washroom's with showers, storage space and laundry facilities for guests. A landscape buffer will be required with concrete curb perimeter and will define the two access points to the park along the Lakelse Avenue frontage. A hedge row will be planted for privacy on either side of the entrances with a central landscape bed consisting of a mix of shrubs and feature rocks.

2 Grassy Creek Logging Ltd. DP Development Services Component of the Committee of the Whole Report This redevelopment and reuse of a vacant property and building will complement the adjacent restaurant and pub businesses on Lakelse A venue as well as the Chances Gaming Centre and will offer visitors and vacationers another option for RV accommodation. The RV Park will likely be used in conjunction with ball tournaments at Riverside Park and bonspiels held annually at the nearby Terrace Curling Club facility. Mr. Kirkby thinks there may also be demand for longer term RV stays related to the LNG pipeline proposals and other major industrial development in the region. Approved for Submission to Council
