Squamish may be seeing a new restaurant and yet another fitness facility.

Council has approved a development permit for Artun Enterprise Limited to build a new two-storey light industrial building on 38931 Queens Way.

The developer is contemplating the idea of having a restaurant and a fitness facility in the building, though this could change.

Jeff Oldenborger, owner of A-Frame Brewing, which is beside the new development, commented that he was afraid construction noise and dust might affect his patio.

However, the proponent of the development, Martin Ebadi, promised to work out construction times that would reduce the impact it would have on the brewery.

Coun. Armand Hurford tried to add conditions to the development permit that would put further limits on construction times.

He received support from Coun. John French but the other five voted against it, saying adding too many regulations could result in unexpected consequences.

Ultimately, the development permit passed unanimously, but without Hurford's recommended additions.

The proposed development is for a two-storey light industrial building, which the developer is volunteering to build to Step 3 of the BC Energy Step Code.

This code provides developers a chance build their structures with an environmentally-friendly design that uses less energy.
