principles resulting from this study shall be adopted as an official plan
amendment, either to Volume 1 or to Volume 2 of the Plan.

within three years of this policy coming into force, drive-through facilities will
be permitted within the Village core areas and along Village mainstreets.
Pending the study outlined above and prior to
the expiration of the three-year period, the provisions of this Plan in respect
of drive-through facilities, regarding Traditional Mainstreets, shall apply
with the necessary modifications in respect of the Village commercial cores and
Village mainstreets.”
