Fire and Emergency Services
Cranbrook Fire & Emergency Services has completed
a design concept and cost analysis for the new fire services training facility.
The analysis suggested that it wouldbe more practical and cost effective to construct a
facility at the current fire station. Originally the intention was to build a facility on
property allocated for a future satellite hall. At the time of the proposal, it was anticipated
that a satellite hall would be needed
and constructed within a seven-year period. The
satellite hall was contingent on a percentage build out of the Shadow Mountain and
Wildstone developments. Recognizing the build out will not occur as originally
predicted, it is anticipated that it may be at least another 10-15 years before
the additional tax base could support a second fire station. Upon review of the two options, it was
apparent that it would be more
operationally and cost effective to construct the
facility at the current fire station. The proposed facility would be designed to blend with the
new fire station and the residential area, while having the durability to withstand
prolonged industrial level training.

Proposed regulations to accommodate the use of

- Shipping Containers used for storage would be permitted the C-2 - Highway Commercial Zone, the M-1 , M-2 and M-3 Industrial Zones, and the P-3 - Public Utility Zone and sited in accordance with the applicable property line setbacks of the zone for an accessory building or structure.
- Shipping containers would be limited to a maximum of six containers per parcel or one container per 400 sq m of parcel area, whichever is less. The number of containers permitted may also be limited by requirements for property line setbacks for buildings and the site area required for parking, loading areas and drive accesses.
- A fire separation space of 3 metres would also be required between containers and other buildings. Shipping containers would be required to be located behind the front face of a principal building on a site and to provide screening from adjacent residential properties and public highways.
- Shipping containers would not be permitted to be stacked or used as a habitable room or for human occupancy.
Pending Council's concurrence, the proposed Zoning
Bylaw amendment will be referred to the Advisory Planning Commission for
recommendation, and the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure for
approval, and advertised in the Daily Townsman as part of the required
notification for the Public Hearing.
