PLANAPP 2024-00928 - 2755 King Street, Halifax

Request

A substantive amendment to the existing development agreement for the Richmond Yards lands, to enable the re-allocation of the total number of units permitted between buildings. 

Proposal

The applicant wishes to substantively amend the existing development agreement to permit the re-allocation of units from Buildings A and B to Building E. Please see the site plan below for locations of the buildings. The buildings have already been constructed or are currently under construction, there is no proposed changes to the exterior or height of the buildings, only to alter the total number of permitted units within the three buildings. 

The major aspects of the proposal are as follows:

• Building A will transfer 5 units. 
• Building B will transfer 3 units.
• Building E will increase by 8 total permitted units.
• The substantive amendment will not result in any additional units being permitted on the site than what is already permitted within the development agreement. Total permitted units in Buildings A and B are being lowered, and those units are being re-allocated to Building E to increase the total permitted units within Building E.     

 
The Development Plans (provided below) outline the development proposal in detail, and include information related to the site plan and planning rationale.
