Municipal Planning Strategy and Land Use By-law Amendment Order for Port Wallace Special Planning Area

made under Section 16 of the

Housing in the Halifax Regional Municipality Act

S.N.S. 2021, c. 21

N.S. Reg. 115/2022 (effective June 16, 2022)



Whereas the Port Wallace Special Planning Area Order, N.S. Reg. 61/2022, was made on March 24, 2022, and designated the Port Wallace Special Planning Area;


Whereas the Executive Panel on Housing in the Halifax Regional Municipality has recommended amendments to the municipal planning strategy and land-use by-law applicable to the Port Wallace Planning Area (respectively the Regional Municipal Planning Strategy and the Dartmouth Land Use By-law);


And whereas I am satisfied that the recommended amendments are necessary to advance the purpose of the Housing in the Halifax Regional Municipality Act;


Therefore, I order the following:

 

          1.      The Regional Municipality Planning Strategy is amended by adding the following in bold immediately following Policy G-11:

 

                   G-11A         Notwithstanding Policy G-15, the Minister of Municipal Areas [Affairs] and Housing may consider development agreements on lands designated as a special planning area which supersede the Regional Subdivision By-Law requirements to enable early tree removal, blasting, and earthworks by development agreement. The intent of this policy is to enable early site work concurrent with the resolution of the detailed planning matters for the subject sites. As a requirement of the development agreement, the following drawings prepared by a Professional Engineer must be submitted as a condition of permitting:

 

(a)Site Disturbance Plan;

 

                                        (b)    Erosion and Sedimentation Control Plan; and

 

                                        (c)    Site Grading and Stormwater Management Plan.

 

          2.      The Dartmouth Land Use By-law is amended by adding the following in bold immediately following Section 18X:

 

                   18Z              Notwithstanding any other provision of this By-law, within the lands designated as a special planning area, early tree removal, blasting, and earthworks may be considered, subject to the provisions of a development agreement in accordance with policy G-11A of the Regional Municipal Planning Strategy.


This order is effective on and after the date of this order.


Dated and made June 16, 2022 at Halifax, Halifax Regional Municipality, Province of Nova Scotia.
