Request
Application for a development agreement to expand the capacity of an existing day care from 14 to 40 children at 110 Frederick Avenue, Fairview.
Proposal
The existing childcare facility, Bean Sprouts Child Care Centre, currently has a maximum capacity of 14 children, as permitted under the Halifax Mainland Land Use By-law. The owner is seeking approval to increase the capacity to 40 children. No exterior alterations or changes to the existing buildings are proposed as part of this expansion.
Section 3.20 of the Halifax Municipal Planning Strategy’s Implementation Policies allows for “child care centres” that do not meet existing Land Use By-law regulations to be considered by a development agreement contract with the HRM.
The Development Plans (provided below) outline the development proposal in detail and include information related to the traffic and street analysis.
Process
The application will be considered under the Development Agreement process.
