The planned facility will offer cold storage for 100 RVs.
On Monday night, city council approved third reading of a bylaw to amend the Official Community Plan and rezone a 1.7-hectare section of 6172 Otway Rd. to facilitate the development. A spokesperson for developer Western Star Ventures Ltd. said a berm is planned as part of development to help mitigate noise for residents on the other side of the Nechako River.
During a public hearing on Monday night, city council heard concerns about the impact of the project on the riparian area along the river and the city’s aquifer, which is located near the proposed site. “These riparian areas are really critical for the city,” James Stiedle said. “It gets a little depressing when you hit Prince George and you have parking lots right up to the river. If anything, we should be rehabilitating where the city’s water comes from.”“We as residents have never supported light industrial or heavy industrial on the other side of the river,” Haines wrote. “It is a shame to see such a lovely river valley used for this purpose and residential zoning is our preferred use.
