I asked the city if the pound could have a veterinary clinic, and the city said NO.  It is zoned industrial and the City of Beaconsfield doesn’t allow veterinary clinics outside of a commercial building.  No answer as to why 303 A cannot be rezoned.  And, for the record, there IS a private run mobile veterinary clinic in Beaconsfield.  Veterinary licensing is provincial.  

Here is their answer.

“303 Beaconsfield A is situated in zone INST221, meaning only institutional buildings and parks can be built there.  

To answer your second question, we do not allow commercial usages on public roads or on properties which are residential, it would have to be done outside of the territory of Beaconsfield.  

Sincerely,

Tom Fontaine”
