A new light industrial developement in Port Coquitlam's Dominion Triangle neighbourhood is closer to reality after council gave first and second reading to a rezoning proposal on Tuesday (Sept. 27).
Orion Construction has proposed to rezone 590 Dominion Ave. from agricultural to light industrial with plans to subdivide one lot into two lots, as well as develop two new light industrial buildings.
The five-acre rectangular-shaped lot, purchased recently for $10.65 million, is located at the corner of Dominion Avenue and Fremont Street, across from the Carnoustie Golf Course.
According to a city staff report, there is no agricultural farming taking place on the site, which is also bisected by a BC Hydro power line and three power poles.
The rezoning still requires a public hearing and third and fourth reading.
However, approval will mean one of the last parcels of land in the Dominion Triangle could soon be home to new businesses.
