In 1992, this parcel of land should never have been permitted to be rezoned from Residential to Light Industrial.  It was a long and tense process, but the previous owners persistence with the CRD granted them the change in zoning.  However,  a covenant was legally put on the property, restricting industrial activities to a great extent.  This confined activities to indoors, so the owner built a 12500 square foot shop to work on his equipment.  It was an impact to the residential area at the time but the covenant offered the neighbourhood some solice from the noise, dust and traffic of industry.   The removal of a restrictive covenant on the land will allow for further industrial development.  This has the potential to greatly affect our way of life here.
