Canadian Tire Properties Inc. is the owner of 75 Mapleview Drive West, Barrie. Canadian Tire Real Estate Limited is the tenant of 75 Mapleview Drive West, Barrie and 320 Bayfield Street, Barrie. (collectively Canadian Tire Properties Inc. and Canadian Tire Real Estate Limited is referred to as "Canadian Tire"). Canadian Tire has concerns regarding the City of Barrie draft Official Plan. In addition to other concerns outlined in the attached correspondence, Canadian Tire is particularly concerned with the redesignation of 75 Mapleview Drive West as "Employment Area - Non Industrial", whereas the property is currently designated and zoned General Commercial and used for commercial/retail uses, including a Canadian Tire store, gas bar, Beer Store and car wash. These uses provide an important service to the proximate residential community and provide employment.

Canadian Tire requests that the Minister defer the decision with respect to the Official Plan and that a meeting be arranged with Canadian Tire and its representatives. Alternatively, should the Minister proceed with the approval of the Official Plan, we request that the Official Plan be revised to designate 75 Mapleview Drive West as "Commercial District". In the further alternative, we request that the Minister refer the Official Plan to the Ontario Land Tribunal for recommendation or a decision.
