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.

Process
The application will be considered under the Development Agreement process.
Status
Currently this application is at the review team stage of the process where the request is reviewed by internal municipal staff from Development Engineering [including Traffic Services], Building Standards, Fire Protection Services and Parkland Planning.
Documents Submitted for Evaluation
The applicant has submitted plans and studies required by HRM staff to properly evaluate the application. The documents are also available for review at the Planning Applications office in Downtown Halifax.
