Presentation of Proposal. Xxxxxxx Rad, Urban Planner, WSP Canada Inc. The majority of the site (approximately 2/3) is I-1 (Mixed Industrial Use) Zone which currently permits industrial, general commercial and resource uses (agriculture and other resource activities included). The remainder (1/3 of the site) is MR-1 (Mixed Resource Uses). The landowners and developers are from the community, are excited about this proposal and would like to enhance the community by bringing more residential and introducing some commercial uses to the area that don’t currently exist while creating a walkable and safe community. There are two types of residential requested. One is under condominium ownership where a portion of the land is bought by an individual but the services are being provided by the condominium. Nothing beyond the individual’s portion of land can be disturbed. The other is the Hybrid concept where an individual buys a free-standing, traditional lot and 80% of the lot must remain undisturbed. The house and accessory uses must be within 20% of the property. Primary conservation features on the site include: buffers and watercourse setbacks; significant habitat and endangered species; 1:100 year flood plans; rock outcroppings; slopes in excess of 30%; agricultural soils and activities; potential archaeological sites; and ground water recharge areas. At the secondary level, other features that need to be protected are considered: scenic views; heritage properties; historic features; mature forest and other vegetation; existing trails; parks and natural corridors; and current and past land uses. The above features have been assessed for the existing property as well as a radius of 600 metres around the site. Wetlands are fairly dominant on the property (shown on slide) and the plan has to be designed to protect those wetlands. Also, there is potential for archaeological areas; therefore, a study is required. Trails run through the site and all effort is being made to preserve and possibly enhance those. The concept plan and location of buildings were explained: an access that comes through Windgate Drive; the front portion designated for commercial uses; condominium ownership; four, four-storey buildings; free-standing, traditional looking lots; amenities – amphitheater, soccer/sports field and pocket park; the trails; and the land in between is to be protected. Proposed residential/commercial uses: 55 single lots (Hybrid type); 46 under condominium ownership; 44 townhouses; and a tot...
Presentation of Proposal. Xxxx Xxxxx The subject site is located on the corner of Isleville and Xxxxx Streets and is comprised of approximately 929 square metres (about 10,000 square feet). The applicant is proposing an eight storey residential building with a maximum height of 80 feet to include 33 residential units within a residential tower and four townhouse units. There will be 11 parking spaces at grade and entry to them will be from Isleville Street. There are 19 underground parking spaces with an entrance from Xxxxx Street. The property is designated MC (Major Commercial) under the Halifax Municipal Planning Strategy (MPS) and zoned C-2 (General Commercial) Zone under the Halifax Peninsula LUB. Because the proposed building is eight storeys and approximately 80 feet, it is not permitted as of right under the C-2 Zone regulations. An example of what the development might look like if constructed as-of-right was shown. Xx. Xxxxx explained the definition of a development agreement. She reminded the residents that their comments would be beneficial when negotiating the development agreement. A rendering of the proposed building was shown. Planning Policy and regulations allow the applicant to apply for a development agreement but certain criteria have to be met. Those criteria are basically specific to the design of the building, massing, street level elements, exterior cladding, landscaping and open space, traffic, site access parking and impacts on municipal services.
Presentation of Proposal. Xxxx XxxXxxxxx The location of the site was shown outlined in red. The site is zoned C-2 (General Commercial) which allows for a wide range of residential and commercial uses. A list of permitted land uses in the C-2 Zone was shown. The proposal is to enter into a development agreement to permit a 7 storey, 49 unit residential building. Presentation of Proposal – Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx from Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx Architecture Inc. He explained that Xxxxxxx Xxxxx came to him regarding this property and they discussed all options for this site. They decided it was better to provide housing rather than commercial at this location. He explained how they came up with their design and explained the scale of the proposal.
Presentation of Proposal. Xxxx Xxxxx The site is located on the corner of South Street and Xxxxx Street and consists of two buildings, an Asian grocery store (South Street) and what used to be a laundromat (at the rear). An aerial image of the general area was shown. According to Municipal records, the subject property was developed as a grocery store and laundromat in the 1960s. As the laundromat predated the current Zone and has not been discontinued for a period longer than six continuous months, it is considered a non-conforming use. The application was submitted in the Fall of 2014; therefore, meeting that six-month time period. The Halifax Municipal Planning Strategy (MPS) has two Secondary Plans: the Peninsula Centre Plan to the north and the South End Plan to the south. Areas designated for Medium Density Residential (MDR) allows a building of up to four units; Low Density Residential (LDR), single unit dwellings are permitted; and Universities (U) permits university uses. Zoning in the area consists of U-1 (Low Density University) Zone and U-2 (High Density University) Zone (basically higher density), and R-1 (Single Unit Dwelling) Zone and R-2 (General Residential) Zone (medium density allowing up to four units). There are two properties in the area that are zoned RC-1 and RC-2 (Neighbourhood Commercial) Zone which allows for limited use of Residential/Commercial uses. The uses were listed, the maximum permitted height is 35 feet (approximately three-storeys) and setbacks of developments in the area are regulated under the Halifax Peninsula Land Use By-law (LUB). A table detailing the uses of the RC-1, R-1 and R-2 Zones were shown. All Zones are limited to 35 feet in height. A rendering of the proposal that was submitted by the Architect, Xxxxx Xxxxx, was shown. The rendering depicts the same building but with changes to the exterior and interior. Currently, there is an Implementation Policy that allows Council to consider allowing a non- conforming use, the laundromat use, to be converted to a less intensive use. Criteria considered include: layout and design providing amenity and beautification to the area; landscaping and lighting; improvements to the neighbourhood; traffic, site access, parking; and impacts on municipal services. This proposal is permitted by Development Agreement.

Presentation of Proposal. Xxxx Xxxxxx Xx. Xxxxxx presented the proposal for 000 Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxx (Clearwater Seafoods), Bedford outlining: - site context - the site currently has an office/retail building and customer parking lot - employees park across the street - the property falls under two plan areas [building is in Bedford – designated Commercial Comprehensive Development District / the parking lot is in Halifax (Mainland) – designated Highway Commercial] and therefore has two different zones (Bedford – CCDD / Halifax Mainland – C-2B) - the current development agreement (approved in December 1999) applies to the entire property and refers to the Bedford plan area only - the development agreement needs to be discharged to allow construction according to the C-2B Zone
Presentation of Proposal. Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx, Xxxxx Xxxxxxx, WSP Canada Inc. Xx. Xxxxxxx presented the proposal for the corner of Gottingen and Macara Streets in the north end of Halifax. He showed the site context and what currently exists on the three parcels of land. The site is in close proximity to private and public schools, Hydrostone community and market, and Xxxxx Street and Gottingen Street act as a primary transportation corridor for the Halifax Peninsula. This area has been identified for future urban growth and revitalization within HRM. A key element of the design proposal was to highlight the relationship of the building and Canadian Forces Base Stadacona, which is located directly across the street. Other key parameters incorporated into the project include: a) developer’s vision and goals; b) community ideas and comments; c) community context, d) historic context; e) high quality building designs, and f) HRM by-laws and policies.
