Don't Chase Investors Away With Zoning

The Courier is not’ against town plan-
ning for the City of Cranbrook. In fact,

one that is much: sounder than, in'most °
communities of a similar size, Residential | °

g to the south,

this newspaper hag many times
and encouraged council’ in ‘this direction.

& town plan, basically, is to give some
form of guidance for future growth'in all
areas of activity such as residential, com-
mercial and industrial. It is sound to
have some idea what the city will look
like 10,20 or 50 years from now and
plan services in this direction.

’In order to shape this town plan a
zoning bylaw must be drawn -up to‘en-
courage growth in the proper direction
,and to give potential investors .a firm idea
‘of! where certain developments can be
located and to outline the restrictions in-
volved, :

However, this newspaper. is " against
a zoning bylaw that becomes. so restric-
tive or complicated as to confuse or drive
away investors.

' Over the years the face of Cranbrook
has ‘taken on a definite’ pattern of growth,

“commercial enterprises are centred along

Baker street, service industries are spread:
along Van Horne and Cranbrook streets
and the obvious place for light and heavy
industries is in the. northern’ area of the
city.

Thus, any town: plan. must be based
on the. pre-established’ pattern, which the
Cranbrook plan’ appears ‘to ‘be.

The zoning ‘bylaw should be set. up
to. encourage growth in “the .direction of

this ‘pre-established pattern. We feel Zon- ” :

ing Bylaw 1964, which is now being con-

-sidered by. ‘city council, discourages, ra- »:

tain ‘key areas, including commercial and =

To develop a’ model town plan for
50 years from now ‘is'a fine thing, but it
should ‘not ‘be forced to a point. where

Apartment Buildings Needed i in n Nelson

“+ City council. members will soon be"
called upon to make a far-reaching decis-

building in the Fairview’ area.

We have reminded ‘council that’: it

opposition groups. who dislike upsetting
the status quo by the ‘construction of
apartment buildings ‘in Nelson.

; Council should welcome, with open”
arms, any legitimate developer who pro- :
poses to erect apartment buildings. We
need apartments to cater to citizens who
do: not care to rent or buy homes.

The city coffers need added revenue;
apartment buildings will certainly provide
a.constant and continual ‘source of reven-
