Prince George City Council approves temporary use permits for convenience store and counselling services

May 31, 2024 | 5:05 AM

PRINCE GEORGE — Prince George City Council approved a pair of temporary use permits at its meeting this week. Both will be located in light industrial areas.

It will allow for a new convenience store at 1798 Nicholson Street, which is within walking distance of CNC and will cater to both domestic and international students.

In a letter to City Council, the proponents of Indian Corner Ltd, note that the location is also close to where many of the international students live – allowing them access to basic groceries such as butter, bread and milk instead of hiring a taxi and going to a supermarket at night.

The other temporary use permit will allow for counselling services at 650 3rd Avenue. This will allow for a “Health Service, Minor” and “Office use” at this location. According to a City report, it will also bring an unpermitted counselling business into compliance with the zoning bylaw and allow for greater utilization of the existing building.

The report also notes that this application by MarLim Ecological Consulting Ltd. is consistent with Council’s strategic priority for economic diversity and growth.
