Fernie City Council has approved an application to rezone a property at the corner of Hand Avenue and Highway 3 for commercial use as a proposed personal services clinic.
City planning manager Derek Cimolini presented the application at Tuesday’s regular council meeting on Oct. 12. The proposed personal services clinic could include services such as physiotherapy, chiropractic, counselling, RMT, and osteopathy.
The triangular property is currently zoned Residential Small-Scale. The proposed designation is Neighbourhood Commercial (C2).
Cimolini said the application also includes prohibiting gas bars on the lot, and that it will be used only for personal services.
“This land is lying fallow for a long time, and this is a great opportunity,” said Councillor Ted Shoesmith.
Council voted unanimously in favour of the application.
