Chester Delay's Zoning Request For Health Centre

Council in Chester has delayed making a decision on a rezoning request for "Our Health Centre". The collaborative care project would be constructed in Shoreham Village, however, the current bylaws do not permit such a facility in that area of Chester. The area needs to be zoned "Institutional" before construction on the project could begin. Warden Allen Webber says they need to look at tweaking the municipalities streetscape plan in order to make the change in their zoning bylaw.



Some of the loopholes centre around where the parking lot would be located in the overall design of the proposed facility. Webber says he doesn't see deferring a decision on the rezoning request as any type of stumbling block for the project.
