805 Boyd Street (Queensborough Landing Shopping Centre)
Project Update, June 29, 2023: City-led Consultation for this project has now concluded. Feedback received from the community will be shared back here, and with Council as they consider this zoning text amendment later this year.
What's being proposed?
The applicant is looking to expand the permitted land uses on 805 Boyd Street (Queensborough Landing Shopping Centre site) in order to attract new tenants and businesses. Proposed new land uses include: amusement arcade, microbrewery, winery, and distillery, cottage brewery, trade and commercial schools, overnight animal boarding, delivery and express facilities, courier service, car washing establishment, retail stores - including the sale of used goods. A zoning text amendment to the C-10 Large Format Commercial Districts would be needed to allow these proposed land uses. 805 Boyd Street is the only property with this zoning.
The proposal satisfies the Queensborough Community Plan land use designation of (QC) – Queensborough Commercial by providing complimentary uses that are:
- are consistent with those typically found in similar highway commercial and/or commercials service areas,
- are considered to be complementary to existing commercial uses on site,
- are not anticipated to create land use conflicts with surrounding existing uses or future uses contemplated by the Official Community Plan.
As the proposal does not propose any exterior changes to the buildings, no Development Permit is required.
Note: This is one of two separate applications underway at the Queensborough Landing Shopping Centre site (805 Boyd Street).

How can I engage?
City-led consultation took place in June 2023. City-led consultation is intended to offer the opportunity for public input before the project proposal is finalized and presented to Council for consideration of approval.
This City-led consultation may potentially take the place of the Public Hearing.
A summary of the feedback received will be presented to Council when they consider this zoning text amendment application. The report will be posted on this page once it is available.
