The properties that comprise the site are zoned R-1 under the Beaver Bank, Hammonds Plains and Upper Sackville Land Use By-law (LUB) and are designated Residential under the Beaver Bank, Hammonds Plains and Upper Sackville Municipal Planning Strategy (MPS). The properties are undeveloped and under current regulations may only be developed with single unit dwellings.
There are no policies within the MPS to enable consideration of commercial uses on the site, however because the site is located at the edge of the plan area, abutting the Planning District 1 & 3 Plan Area, the applicant is seeking a plan area boundary realignment to enable development as per the MU-1 (Mixed Use 1) zone of the Planning District 1 & 3 LUB, which is the zoning applied to properties that abut the site to the west.
The major aspects of the proposal are:
• Three commercial buildings on separate lots developed as per the MU-1 zone standards;
• Accessed via driveways off Winslow Drive; and
• Onsite water and sanitary.
A virtual public information meeting was held on December 9, 2020 to provide information to local residents and solicit feedback on the proposal.
In preparing the recommendation to North West Community Council, the Committee is being asked to assess potential impact on the community. The following is before the Committee:
• The scope and appropriateness of the proposed planning approach (a plan area realignment vs different planning tools, such as: the application of a different zone, or a development agreement);
• The specific types of commercial uses that would be appropriate for the site circumstances; and
• The compatibility and impact on adjacent development.
The following is before the Committee:

• Applicant Letter [PDF]
• Site Plan [PDF]
• Initiation Report [PDF]
• Minutes from the Virtual Public Information Meeting – December 9, 2020 [PDF]

WSP Canada Inc. is applying for amendments to the BSSMPS and amendments to an existing development agreement for the subject lands.
The major aspects of the proposal are:
• a five storey, 73-unit apartment development on site BH-1;
• to amend an existing development agreement to permit a one storey, 16,000 square foot commercial building and five single unit dwellings on site BH-2;
• to redistribute the existing density over both sites to allow the requested uses;
• reallocating the overall density between the two sites requires MPS amendments to add residential uses to the permitted uses and increase density on site BH-1; and
• redistribute density from site BH-2 to BH-1 to ensure no additional density beyond what the existing Agreement allows.
In preparing the recommendation to North West Community Council, the Committee is being asked to assess potential impact on the community. The following is before the Committee:
• Garbage enclosure at rear of proposed commercial;
• Number of Visitor/surface parking spaces at multi-storey; and
• Traffic issues on Southgate Drive, including bus stops, driveway alignment, traffic volumes.
The following is before the Committee:

Staff held an in-person Public Information Meeting in September of 2017 and then, due to revisions in the application, held a second virtual engagement session in December and January of 2020/21.
