Request
Application for a substantive amendment and partial discharge of the Timber Trails Mobile Home Park Development Agreement, at 1036 Lucasville Rd, Lucasville.
Proposal
The subject property is located at 1036 Lucasville Rd, Lucasville. The property is zoned MU-1 (Mixed Use) under the Beaver Bank, Hammonds Plains and Upper Sackville Land Use By-Law and designated MUB (Mixed Use “B”) under the Beaver Bank, Hammonds Plains and Upper Sackville Municipal Planning Strategy.
The subject property contains the sewage treatment facility for Timber Trails Mobile Home Park. The applicant wishes to adjust the existing Timber Trails Mobile Home Park Development Agreement to only include lands which contain the mobile home park use and the supporting sewage treatment facility. The major aspects of the proposal are as follows:
- Subdivide the portion of the lot containing the sewage treatment facility for Timber Trails Mobile Home Park. This portion of the lot will maintain the current Development Agreement. (This step has now been completed through the as-of-right subdivision process).
- Discharge the Development Agreement from the remaining lands, which are intended to be subdivided into building lots as per the MU-1 base zone. (This step has now been completed; approval was granted by the Chief Administrative Officer on April 4th, 2023).
- Add a parcel of land that currently contains the sewage treatment facility for Timber Trails Mobile Home Park to the existing development agreement.
The Development Plans (provided below) outline the development proposal and include information related to the existing development agreement and the proposed area of discharge.
Process
The application will be considered under the Development Agreement, Substantive Amendment PAC, Planning Application Approval Process
