Commercial

The commercial land located at the intersection of Highway 20 and 47th Avenue will provide maximum visibility from Highway 20, a primary access route into Sylvan Lake. This district is also used for the other commercial areas existing at the Highway 20/47th Avenue commercial node. This area is intended to provide an area for small to large scale commercial uses in an attractive environment that is adjacent to a major thoroughfare. Potential commercial uses envisioned for inclusion in this area include a grocery store, restaurants, gas stations, personal services, and retail sales.

A second commercial area is located along 47th Avenue, intended to provide an area for community-oriented commercial development containing a range of small to medium scale commercial uses. Potential commercial uses envisioned for inclusion in this area are similar to those located along Highway 20 and 47th; however, they typically have a smaller footprint such as offices or businesses generating lower traffic volumes. This land use district includes supplementary regulations to enhance the overall pedestrian experience while in this area by providing recommendations about site design and architectural decisions.
