The subject property for the proposed rezoning is located at 16 Rutledge Street in Bedford. The property is designated Residential in the Bedford Municipal Planning Strategy (MPS) and is zoned Residential Two Unit Dwelling (RTU) under the Land Use By-law (LUB). The applicant is seeking the rezoning in order to enable the expansion of a proposed multiple unit dwelling on to the subject property which is proposed on adjacent lands. The applicant currently has a permit for a proposed 16 unit, three storey multiple unit dwelling at 26 Rutledge Street. The rezoning will enable the 16 unit building to be expanded on to the lands of 16 Rutledge Street. The expansion is not proposed to increase the number of units but will enable the applicant to increase the size of each dwelling unit.
Regional Council initiated the process at its meeting on September 22, 2020 following consideration of an initiation report presented by staff.
In preparing the recommendation to North West Community Council, the Committee is being asked to assess potential impact on the community. The following is before the Committee:

7.1.2 Case 23061: Application by Tier Too Properties on behalf of the property owner has applied for a development agreement for an outdoor dog run as part of a Dog Day Care facility at Lot 2 Glen Arbour Way, Hammonds Plains. [PDF]
The proposal is to allow an outdoor dog run in conjunction with a permitted Dog Day Care Facility by Development Agreement. The indoor Dog Day Care Facility is proposed to occupy 4,000 square feet of the total 10,000 square foot multi-tenant commercial building. The indoor Dog Day Care Facility is permitted as-of right within the C-4 (Highway Commercial) zone. However, the development of the outdoor portion of the Dog Day Care Facility (outdoor run) is only permitted through a development agreement.
This application was presented to NWPAC on November 4, 2020, and the following motion was passed:
THAT the North West Planning Advisory Committee has reviewed the application for Case 23061 and recommends rejection of the application as it interferes with the abutting owners’ quiet enjoyment of their properties which cannot be mitigated.
Based on the feedback of the Committee, the applicant has revised the application to move the Dog Day Care Facility a different lot to address the concerns raised by the Committee. Given the application has changed significantly, and has moved to a different lot, staff is once again seeking the input of the NWPAC on the application.
The major aspects of the revised proposal are:
• Outdoor dog run proposed to be located at the rear of a multi-tenant commercial building.
• The outdoor dog run proposes to have the following features:
- A 929 square metre (10,000 square foot) fenced outdoor dog run area divided into two play areas;
- A solid wood fence surrounding the outdoor dog run with a minimum height of 1.8 metres (6 feet);
- Artificial turf on the outdoor run; and
- A maximum of 30 dogs outside at one time.
In preparing the recommendation to North West Community Council, the Committee is being asked to assess potential impact on the community in accordance with Policy P-26A of the Beaver Bank, Hammonds Plains, Upper Sackville Municipal Planning Strategy:
- Compatibility
- Impacts on adjacent properties
- Hours of operation and the number of dogs
- Traffic impacts
- Existing vegetation maintained where possible
The following is before the Committee:
- Applicant Submission [PDF]
- Revised Site Plan [PDF]
- Notice to residents – November 2020 [PDF]
