1 Introduction
EXP Services Inc. (EXP) was retained by Archangel Raphael and Saint Marina - Coptic Orthodox
Church (Church) to conduct a D-6 Compatibility – Air Quality Assessment (Assessment) to assess the
compatibility of the proposed location of the Coptic Orthodox Church Canada at 1160 Blair Road,
Burlington, ON, hereinafter referred to as the Subject Site. The assessment has been undertaken to
support City of Burlington zoning approval requirements.
The Subject Site is rectangular in shape and measures approximately 1.7 hectares (4.1 acres) in area
and is currently occupied by a two-storey industrial/commercial building with approximately 7,205 m²
(77,555 ft²) of floor area. The Site building is currently occupied by various commercial/light industrial
tenants including:
• Creative Edge Dance Studio;
• RDC (Responsible Distribution Canada) (office);
• Ciscon Landscaping (showroom, office and yard);
• Body by PT (exercise gym);
• Canadian Dance Company;
• Burlington Movers (storage and office);
• Eurostar Renos;
• Absolute Custom Steel Fabrications (workshop);
• Insatax (office);
• Nuway Software (office),
Three (3) of the units were vacant, two (2) of which were located on the second floor.
The building is surrounded by a parking lot to the north, south, east and west of the building. Storage
containers were observed at the south and northwest portion of the parking area. Parking areas
surround the building on all sides.
The development plan, surrounding industrial activities and provincial regulations and guidelines have
been considered in this Assessment.

2 Description of Development and Surrounding
Area
2.1 Proposed Development
The Subject Site is located at 1160 Blair Road and is situated on the southwest side of Blair Road
opposite Landmark Road, in Burlington, Ontario. The adjacent surrounding properties are mixed
commercial and industrial properties.
The Subject Site is rectangular in shape and measures approximately 1.7 hectares (4.1 acres) in area
and is currently occupied by a two-storey industrial/commercial building with approximately 7,205 m²
(77,555 ft²) of floor area. The Subject Site building is currently occupied by various commercial and
light industrial tenants.
Three (3) of the units are currently vacant, two (2) of which are located on the second floor.
The proposed location of the Church at the Subject Site is within the current building at the location of
the former Marcello’s Banquet Centre tenant, a ground floor space of about 305 m2. The Church will
also occupy office space and meeting rooms on the second floor. Fixed pew seating for 220
congregants will be provided.
The Subject Site is currently designated as GE1 under Comprehensive Zoning By-law 2020. The GE1
zoning designation does not include a Place of Worship as a permitted use. As such, the Church is
seeking a site-specific zoning amendment to the GE1 zoning of the property at 116- Blair Road to allow
for a Place of Worship as a permitted use at this location.
The location and site plan of the Subject Site is shown in Figure 1 in Appendix A.
2.2 Nearby Industries – Database Searches
A search of environmental risk databases (National Pollutant Reporting Inventory (NPRI), Compliance
and Convictions (CONV), Environmental Activity and Sector Registry (EASR) and Environmental
Compliance Approvals (ECAs) identified thirty-two addresses of interest from an air quality perspective
that are located within 1000 m of the proposed development. The findings are detailed in Table 1 below.
