Phase 4 Requests - Draft Regional Plan

Phase 4 Recommended Approach

Burnside Phase 14 | 22008

Request from HRM Corporate Real Estate, per April 28, 2015 motion of Regional Council, to include these lands within the Urban Service Area and apply industrial policy and zoning to allow for serviced expansion of Burnside Industrial Park.

Redesignate these lands from Rural Commuter to Urban Settlement and apply the Business/ Industrial sub-designation to the lands.
In preparation for extending the Urban Service Area boundary and applying appropriate policy and zoning at the secondary plan and land use by-law level, initiate study on this area, including a watershed study, land suitability analysis (that considers environmental constraints and heritage and cultural assets and constraints) and a baseline infrastructure study (for mobility, water and wastewater services).
Planning & Development will work with Infrastructure Planning and Corporate Real Estate to determine an appropriate scope for this study.
