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.
