Lloydminster City Council has approved the development application for a retail store located at the old Canadian Tire store at 4215 70 Ave.
The store is located in Direct Control District 3 zoning with Councillor Michael Diachuk making the only comment about the development at the April 29 session.
“I’m excited to see those spaces will be used and filled with businesses and it mean there will be some people working in there and people coming to shop in those areas,” said Diachuk.
“Hopefully, we can add to the economic development and growth of the city. This is great stuff to see that building which has been vacant for a couple of years.”
Council also delegated the city’s development officer to review and approve any sign permit connected to this application that complies with Land Use Bylaw 5-2016 requirements.
The retailer has yet to announce themselves, but the site map shows the 65,109 sq. ft. space divided into three stores.
The building is leased by Canadian Tire Real Estate Investment Trust.
