Body
Summary and Background Information:
On May 1, 2012, Planning Commission voted 5-0 to recommend that City Council approve Z-897-12 and S-583-12. Zoning case Z-897-12 will rezone the Suncor refining operations from the current I-3 designation to a customized PUD designation that meets the unique needs of a refinery. Subdivision case S-583-12 will consolidate the Suncor Energy property on the southeast side of Brighton Boulevard.
These cases were originally heard by Planning Commission in May of 2012 in order to accommodate some personnel changes on the Suncor legal team. The delay in bringing them to City Council was a result of an ongoing effort between the City and Suncor to work on several agreements unrelated to these cases. The plan was to package these applications with the other agreements for City Council's approval. It is necessary to move these applications forward at this time in order to minimize the operational impacts for Suncor.
