Conception Bay South council has rejected requests from two local businesses.
Dra Andrea Corral –Functional Medicine asked for a tax reduction. The request was denied as the Town’s tax incentive policy does not apply to home-based businesses.
“I guess it’s self-explanatory,” said Mayor Darrin Bent. “The policy itself doesn’t apply, so they don’t qualify under the policy.”
Council also denied a request from Topsail Auto Body to sell vehicles from the lot.
As per the motion, the sale of vehicles would “increase the non-conformity of the property with respect to parking.”
Councillor Rex Hillier declared a potential conflict of interest related to the auto body request as the land was adjacent to a property that he had ties to and thus did not vote. Aside from that, both motions passed unanimously.
