Application submitted to build gas station, car wash near Treetops subdivision
Residents of the Treetops subdivision in Alliston could soon have a new place to fuel up their cars.
The town has received a zoning bylaw amendment application to permit a gas station, tunnel car wash and convenience store with fast food service to be developed at the southwest corner of Highway 89 and 10 Sideroad.
The town received the application June 7 and the planning department deemed it complete June 21.
The parcel of land located across the street from the Treetops subdivision was recently purchased by the Biffis family.
• The 0.7 hectare property is the former road allowance of 10 Sideroad, which was shifted east last year to align with the 6th Line of Essa for the installation of a signalized intersection
• The eastern side is zoned urban highway commercial exception and the west side is zoned agricultural and recreational open space
• The application seeks to rezone the west side to urban highway commercial exception
• The applicant has also submitted a planning justification report, site plan and conceptual drawings, functional servicing report and traffic impact study
• The town will hold a public meeting about the application at a future date before the final report is presented to council for approval
• An Ultramar station is currently located just around the corner on Highway 89, between the intersection and the entrance to the Nottawasaga Resort
• Residents who have questions about the proposal can contact the town at or email
