Case 22051 - 1656 Prospect Road, Hatchet Lake

Request

Revised Application (former Case 20750) by Sunrose Land Use Consulting, on behalf of Hatchet Lake Plaza Ltd., to enter into a development agreement for a Service Station with associate convenience store and drive-through restaurant at 1656 Prospect Road, Hatchet Lake.

Proposal

The property at 1656 Prospect Road, Hatchet Lake is 4 hectares (10 acres) in area. The development of the service station and associated convenience store and drive-through restaurant is not permitted as-of-right within the I-1 (Light Industry) Zone and  therefore requires the discretionary approval of Community Council.

The site plan (see below under Documents Submitted for Evaluation) shows the revised proposal for the site.

The site plan shows a service station with  8 pump gas bar canopy and a 4,428 square foot building with associated convenience store and drive-through restaurant.

The subject property falls within the Planning District 4 (Prospect) Plan Area. The Municipal Planning Strategy for Planning District 4 (Prospect) enables Halifax and West Community Council to consider a development agreement on subject property under Policies RB-10 and IM-11.

Process

The application is being considered under the development agreement process.

Status

Public consultation will be conducted soon. The purpose of the consultation is to receive feedback regarding the proposal. Upon completion of the public consultation, staff will conduct an internal review of the application and submit a staff report to the Halifax and West Community Council to consider the proposed development agreement for the Service Station and to schedule a public hearing.

Documents Submitted for Evaluation

The applicant has submitted plans required by HRM staff to properly evaluate the application. These materials are available for review at the Current Planning office in Dartmouth at 40 Alderney Drive, Dartmouth.
