Enabling Policy and LUB Context Sample Clauses
Enabling Policy and LUB Context. The subject property is designated Major Commercial under the Halifax Municipal Planning Strategy (MPS), Peninsula North Secondary Planning strategy and it is zoned C-2 (General Business) Zone under the Halifax Peninsula Land Use By-law (LUB). These properties are currently identified in Schedule Q and the current zoning permits commercial buildings up to 24.4 m (80 feet) in height, with an allowance for additional height if stepped back from the property lines above 24.4 m (80 feet). Policies 2.3.1, 2.3.2 and 2.3.3 of Section XI of the Halifax MPS allow Community Council to consider residential or mixed-use buildings for lands located within this commercial designation through the development agreement process. The provisions of Schedule “Q” were established to address the challenge of introducing new residential uses into existing commercial and industrial areas by negotiating, on a site by site basis, the conditions of a development agreement including: • the creation of an adequate environment for residential living on sites which may be surrounded by commercial and industrial uses; and • providing for the continued operation of adjacent commercial and industrial uses without being encumbered by new residential uses. The majority of Schedule "Q" is currently applied on the west side of ▇▇▇▇▇ Street between Young Street and North Street but it has also been applied to select sites in general proximity to the subject property (Map 3). The policy is intended to control the potential land use conflicts, ensure adequate road connections, provide high quality design and have appropriate, high quality amenity space. The approval process for this application involves two steps:
Enabling Policy and LUB Context. The subject site is designated Community Commercial (CC) under the ▇▇▇▇ Harbour / ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Municipal Planning Strategy. Policy CC-4 enables Council to consider multiple unit residential uses containing more than twelve dwelling units within the CC Designation by development agreement. This policy, along with Case 23862: Development Agreement ▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Road, ▇▇▇▇ Harbour Community Council Report - 3 - February 2, 2023 Implementation Policy IM-11, provide criteria for Council’s evaluation of applications for such development agreements. The subject site is zoned General Business (C-2) under the ▇▇▇▇ Harbour / ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Land Use By-law. The C-2 Zone permits a range of commercial uses including retail stores, service and personal service shops, offices, eat-in restaurants, motels and hotels, and veterinary hospitals and indoor kennels. The zone also permits shared housing with 30 or fewer bedrooms, multiple unit dwellings containing no more than twelve dwelling units, and community uses such as institutional uses.
Enabling Policy and LUB Context. The Halifax Mainland Land Use By-law allows a “Day Care Facility” (called a “child care centre” in the MPS) for up to eight children in the R-1 Zone in conjunction with a dwelling. Halifax Municipal Planning Strategy Implementation Policy 3.20 enables consideration of child care centres not in compliance with the By-law by development agreement: Halifax MPS Policy 3.20.1 includes criteria that Community Council must consider (Attachment B).
Enabling Policy and LUB Context. The site is designated and zoned Mixed Use in the MPS and Land Use By-law (LUB) for Musquodoboit Valley/Dutch Settlement. The Mixed Use Designation recognizes a mix of residential, commercial, institutional, industrial, and resource uses that coexist to create flexible opportunities for local small and larger scale business. The intent of the Mixed Use Designation is Case 19117: Development Agreement Old Truro Road, Enfield Community Council Report - 3 - September 14, 2020 also to accommodate a broad range of land uses including the support of single unit and two unit dwellings and also mobile homes. The MPS states: “There are no existing mobile home parks within the Plan Area. However, mobile home parks have the potential to form an important component of the housing stock in the area provided that there is an adequate living environment for park residents and that the mobile home park makes a positive contribution to community development.” (Attachment B) To achieve this, the MPS directs that mobile home parks be developed through development agreement (Attachment A) and indicates that Council shall have regard for: • landscaping or buffering from adjacent land uses; • adequacy of storm drainage plans; • the impact of the proposed development on the existing road network in terms of traffic generation and vehicular and pedestrian safety; • park layout and design including the design of the internal road networks and separation distances from maintenance buildings; and, • the provisions of the Mobile Home Park By-law1(MHPB).
Enabling Policy and LUB Context. The subject property is within the Low-Density Residential Designation, and zoned R-2 under the Halifax Municipal Planning Strategy (MPS) and Mainland Land Use Bylaw (LUB). The commercial use of the property is non-conforming, which allows Council’s consideration of expansion of the structure through the development agreement process in accordance with Section 71(5) of the LUB and Policy 3.14 of the MPS. A detailed analysis of the proposal with respect to the policy considerations in included in Attachment B.
Enabling Policy and LUB Context. The subject property is within the Low Density Residential Designation of the Halifax Mainland Municipal Planning Strategy (MPS), and the Holding (H) Zone of the Halifax Mainland Land Use By-law (LUB), which allows single unit dwellings. Section 5 of the LUB requires that all lots abut a public street, and the zone requires a minimum of 15.24m (50ft) of frontage. The subject site does not abut a public street, so a permit cannot be issued as-of-right for a single unit dwelling. However, Section 71 (1) of the LUB enables Council to consider development agreements for residential uses on lots that do not abut a publicly owned and maintained street in accordance with policy 2.12 of the MPS.
Enabling Policy and LUB Context. The subject property is designated Urban Residential under the Sackville Municipal Planning Strategy (MPS) and is zoned R-6 (Rural Residential) under the Sackville Land Use By-law (LUB). The R-6 zone permits single unit dwellings and, in conjunction with dwellings, day care facilities, bed and breakfasts, business uses, and pet care facilities. Resource and community uses are also permitted under the R-6 zone. Multiple unit residential uses are not permitted as-of-right within the R-6 zone; however, to assist in meeting the diversified housing needs of the general population, Policy UR-8 of the Sackville MPS enables Council to consider permitting multiple unit dwellings by development agreement. The development agreement (Attachment A) approach enables site-specific control intended to ensure that community concerns with such matters as appropriate density and scale of development, landscaping, site design and separation from low density residential development are adequately addressed.
Enabling Policy and LUB Context. The subject properties are located within the Musquodoboit Harbour Rural District Growth Centre under the Regional Plan. Low to medium densities and alternative housing forms are generally encouraged. At the community plan level, the subject site is designated Mixed Use under the Eastern Shore (West) MPS. This designation intends to support the continuation of the existing rural land use pattern, providing for a wide range of residential, commercial, resource, traditional and community facility uses. This application can be considered in accordance with Policy MU-3 of the MPS, which enables Council to consider multiple unit dwellings through the development agreement process. The subject property is zoned MU (Mixed Use) under the Eastern Shore (West) Land Use By-law (LUB). This zone permits residential development under three dwelling units and a wide range of commercial, resource, traditional and community uses.
Enabling Policy and LUB Context. This project predates Council’s adoption of the Centre Plan MPS and LUB. Under Policy 10.25 of the Centre Plan, the development agreement application can continue, because HRM received it before Centre Plan’s adoption.
Enabling Policy and LUB Context. The subject properties are designated RES (Residential) under the Planning District 5 (Chebucto) Municipal Planning Strategy (MPS) and zoned HCR (▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Cove Residential) under the Planning District 5 (Chebucto) Land Use By-law (LUB). Policy RES-2A of the MPS establishes the HCR zone that encourages PLAN APP 2023-00563: Development Agreement ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ Road, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Cove Community Council Report - 3 - May 14, 2024 retention of the low-density character of the area through appropriate lot sizes. Policy RES-2C enables the development of subdivisions which include new or extended public streets by development agreement, where municipal sewer and water services are provided. Policies RES-2D and RES-2E outline the design criteria for consideration of such proposals. With respect to residential development, the underlying HCR zone limits the subject properties to the development of single or two-unit dwellings, along with a secondary or backyard suite on each lot, with access via private driveways.
