Hanna town council has given the go-ahead to rezone a portion of 400 Pioneer Trail to 1-Industrial District from urban reserve.
Council gave the rezoning third reading following a public hearing held Tues. Nov. 8 in the council chambers.
During the public hearing, Tracey Woitenko, senior planner for Palliser Regional Municipal Services spoke to council through Zoom.
The application is to rezone 0.677-hectare portion of the trail to 1-Industrial District, she said. The subject lands are located to the east of 5th Street East, within the industrial area.
The lands are currently used for industrial purposes and the landowner would like to subdivide and sell this portion of the parcel to Oyen and Hanna Concrete.
Woitenko noted that the application to rezone this portion of the parcel to an industrial district is consistent with the current use of the lands and the surrounding lands.
Winona Gutsche, director of corporate services for the Town of Hanna said this parcel is on the east side of town and does not affect any residential properties.
“The neighbours on both sides got letters regarding the rezoning,” she said. “The zoning is being changed for future use,” she added.
The bylaw received first reading Oct. 11.
