Request
Stephen Adams Consulting Inc. is applying to amend an existing development agreement at 14 Lake Major Road, Westphal.
Proposal
The applicant wishes to amend the existing development agreement to permit an automotive repair operation. The major aspects of the proposal are as follows:
- No additional buildings constructed.
- All automotive work to be done indoors.
- Operations will consist of automotive repair and mechanical work & retail sales, repair, and installation of snow removal equipment.
The existing development agreement was originally approved by Harbour East Community Council on November 18, 1999 (Municipal Case Number 00131) to permit a building and insurance restoration services business. An amendment to the development agreement was approved by Marine Drive, Valley & Canal Community Council on February 21, 2007 (Municipal Case Number 00978). This amendment permitted the expansion of the existing building, increased the parking requirements, and increased the maximum building height by 5 feet.
The Development Plans (provided below) outline the development proposal in detail, and include information related to existing building locations, parking locations, and driveway access.
Process
The application will be considered under the Development Agreement Process.
Status

agreement and staff report to present to Community Council for their consideration are

Council is required under the Halifax Regional Municipality Charter, to hold a Public
