2.1 Case 19858 - Application by X.X. Fares Group, for the lands of 0000 Xxxxxx Xxxx, to amend the Municipal Planning Strategy for Halifax and Land Use By-law for Halifax Peninsula to develop a multiple-unit residential building through a development agreement. Xx. Xxxxx Xxxxx, resident of the South End, stated concern that there were many single family dwellings in proximity to the proposed development. She requested the current appearance of the property be maintained. She stated concern for the lot coverage in terms of eliminating greenspace and the intrusion of balconies and the combined effect on abutting neighbours. She questioned why the proposal was being considered where the municipality had refused smaller applications in the neighbourhood. Mr. Xxxxx Xxxxxx, resident of the South End, stated that the presentations highlighted large multiunit buildings but did not pay attention to the existing fabric of single family units. He echoed the previous speaker’s comments regarding the eligibility of the application in view of smaller additions or accessory uses being refused in the area. He requested that the neighbourhood be brought back into a single family fabric habitable for families. Xx. Xxxxxx requested that a dwelling be built that complemented single unit dwellings. Xx. Xxxxx Xxxxxxx, resident of Larch St, questioned the ownership of the property; would the ownership be subject to the approval of the application; was the Municipality aware of traffic concerns in terms of speeding and would this be considered; was the same zoning or designation set in place during the time of the other multiunit buildings mentioned; would the proposal provide rentals or condominiums; and, would parking provisions be consistent with other parking needs in the area and with Municipal policy. He echoed the previous speakers’ concerns regarding the increase in density. He also questioned the target date of development and he questioned if the condominium to the east could be purchased by the applicant to increase the size of the development. Xx. Xxxxxxx also stated concern for the possible use of the proposal as executive suite short term rentals.
