Mr. McCabe explained the parking problems occurring in the neighbourhood and impacting
his property as a result of the expansion of the Black Sheep Pub. He expressed concern
that allowing more commercial use will further increase issues with parking and will bring
excessive noise into the neighbourhood. He requested that the property be returned to
residential use.
Olwyn Geeling
Ms. Geeling expressed concern that the proposed additional commercial use will increase
existing congestion and will contribute further to parking issues occurring in the
neighbourhood.

Ron McCabe
Mr. McCabe expressed concern that should the property currently being used by the
applicant for parking for the neighbourhood pub be turned into commercial property, parking
in the area for pub patrons will decrease and will negatively impact the residential properties
in the area.
John Geeling
Mr. Geeling asked whether the application property is designated as commercial in the
Official Community Plan.
The Manager of Development and Environmental Services advised on the zoning of the
property and indicated that changes to the designation in the Official Community Plan can
be sought through Council.
