Request

Application for a development agreement to expand the capacity of an existing day care from 14 to 40 children at 110 Frederick Avenue, Fairview.

Proposal

The existing childcare facility, Bean Sprouts Child Care Centre, currently has a maximum capacity of 14 children, as permitted under the Halifax Mainland Land Use By-law.

The application will be considered under the Development Agreement process.
