According to the province, the new regulations under the Halifax Regional Municipality Charter will require the municipality to make increasing housing supply the priority focus in all land-use planning, regulations, decisions and development approvals under the municipal planning strategy. “Nova Scotians need more housing, and that need is especially great in HRM,” John Lohr, Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing, said. “In order to truly address this housing crisis, we need to ensure that increasing supply is a key focus in the municipal planning process and the prime consideration in development decisions. These regulations will ensure that happens.” The province said other changes to the charter’s Minimum Planning Requirements Regulations include: Permitting residential uses in most zones, where appropriate Removing on-site parking requirements for developments in the urban service area Ensuring height restrictions do not impact density for mass timber residential developments Removing unit-mix requirements and reducing the percentage of ground-floor commercial space required in residential buildings started before April 1, 2027 Permitting manufactured housing, including modified shipping containers, in all residential zones Permitting temporary housing in all zones to allow employees to live on or near a work site during an assignment Adopting a secondary municipal planning strategy for suburban areas by January 31, 2025. 0 comment 0 FacebookTwitterPinterestEmail admin previous post Divers recover 5 bodies from wrecked superyacht off Sicily; 1 still missing next post Halifax’s new basketball team to hold tryouts in the fall You may also like كندا تتراجع عن وعدها بتسوية أوضاع المقيمين بشكل... 14 نوفمبر، 2024 Watchdog says Tims card brouhaha shows N.S. electoral... 14 نوفمبر، 2024 Halifax police investigate suspicious incident where woman approached... 14 نوفمبر، 2024 Man charged after police respond to stabbing call... 14 نوفمبر، 2024 Pair arrested after search of illegal cannabis store,... 14 نوفمبر، 2024 Damaged Nova Scotia-P.E.I. ferry expected to resume sailing... 14 نوفمبر، 2024 Nova Scotia NDP releases election platform focused on... 14 نوفمبر، 2024 غسان البراكس: الصليب الأحمر الكندي يدعم بقوة نظيره... 14 نوفمبر، 2024 نوفا سكوشا: لجنة الانتخابات تحقق في توزيع بطاقات... 14 نوفمبر، 2024 Latest survey shows majority of votes would go... 12 نوفمبر، 2024
