Case 24313 - Mixed Use Zone Review
Project Description
At the request of North West Community Council, staff prepared a report on options for amending the MU-1 (Mixed Use 1) Zone of the Beaver Bank, Hammonds Plains and Upper Sackville Land Use By-law to allow for additional uses for children beyond daycare and education.
On May 17, 2022 (Item 15.4.1), Regional Council directed staff to explore creating new size thresholds for commercial uses permitted within the MU-1 zone while acknowledging the need to encourage and enable children’s recreation and developmental activities and other low-impact uses. In addition, staff was directed to recognize the need to mitigate the impacts of higher intensity commercial uses that may generate large volumes of visitors, lights, noises, or smells.
Status
Municipal planners are seeking advice and feedback from the public on the range of commercial uses permitted in the MU-1 Zone and the size standards that apply to those uses. We invite you to please take this survey. Alternatively, the public can provide comments by contacting the planners who are listening.
Process
The application will be considered under the Municipal Planning Strategy and Land Use By-law Amendment Process.
