Duff balks at re-zoning plan

Jonathan Green
NEWS REPORTER

Kirk Duff thinks the city should do
some hard looking before leaping into
the latest mall project.

Thursday, the Castlegar city
alderman said he isn’t keen about
certain aspects of the Vancouver-
based First Allied Development
Corp.’s plan for a mall.

“I don’t like re-zoning and getting
rid of residential land,” he said.

First Allied has chosen some land
on the south side of the Sandman Inn
as the spot for their 130,000. square-
foot mall.

But before any digging begins, the
city would have to re-zone three
houses in the area, changing them
from single family residential to
service commercial.

Although Duff likes the idea of a
mall in town, he doesn’t want it to
happen at the expense of residential
properties.

“It makes me hesitant to jump into
anything that gets rid of residential
land,” he said.

Duff said that re-zoning the
property now would be a waste of
time. He said the city’s Official
Community Plan update will be
unveiled this summer, and he would
like it made public before any re-
zoning is done.

“I think we should wait until we
have the OCP sitting right in front of
us,” he said. “We’re so close to having
the information in front of us that I
think we should wait a few months.”

Duff said that if the OCP favors re-
zoning for the mall, he would like to
see it proceed.

“If the OCP comes out and
recommends it, then there’s. no
problem,” he said. “But I’d like to
give that process a chance to work
first.”

Duff said that if any re-zoning does

take place, he would like it done at
the same time as other properties.

“I don’t like spot zoning,” he said.

nc

Ailied’s Bob Maduik said the
company is quite content to sit and
be patient.

“In a recession year like this you
can’t push anything too quick,” he
said.

Maduik said that, regardless of
how quickly the land can be re-zoned,
the company won't proceed until they
know just who will occupy the mall.

“If and when we get our major
tenants on line, that’s when the light
is green,” he said.

Allied’s mall plan is the second
one making its way through
Castlegar these days. Another
Vancouver company, The Reid Group,
is proposing a 65,000 square foot
mall on Columbia Avenue across
from Blue Top Burger.
