RYC Property Ltd.
Request
To change the land use designation and zone for two portions of PID 45097227 to enable the development of 4 townhouse buildings (approx. 24 dwellingunits) and 10 semi-detached buildings with frontage on Havenwood Drive, Shubenacadie
Subject Property
As shown on the map, the subject property consists of two portions: the eastern portion has an approximate total area of 1.4 hectares, and the western portion comprises approximately 1 hectare. The eastern subject property is currently zoned Two Dwelling Unit Residential (R2). In November 2024, this land was redesignated from Rural Use (RU) to Established Residential Neighbourhood (ER) and rezoned the same from Rural Use (RU) to the Two Dwelling Unit Residential (R2) Zone. A retracement plan for the subject property was completed in early 2025. As a result, the retracement plan indicated that there is a 1-hectare piece of land not included in the boundaries of the concept plan for the original agreement. Therefore, the western portion of the subject property is proposed to be redesignated and rezoned from Rural Use (RU) Zone to the Two Dwelling Unit Residential (R2) Zone to facilitate the development of the entire property. The adjacent properties to the east and those located between the two portions of the subject property are zoned Two Dwelling Unit Residential (R2), while the properties to the north and south are zoned Rural Use (RU). The subject lands have frontage on Havenwood Drive and are located within the Shubenacadie Growth Management Area, which is the area where municipal water and wastewater services are available.
Details
The purpose of the application is to amend the Municipal Planning Strategy and Land Use Bylaw to permit the development of four on-street townhouse buildings (approx. 24 dwelling units); and to rezone an area to the western end of the property to enable the development of 10 semi-detached buildings (approx. 20 dwelling units). To enable the development to occur, the eastern portion of PID 45097227 is proposed to be redesignated to Medium Density Residential Neighbourhood (MR) Designation and rezone the same area to Townhouse (R2-T) Zone. The western portion of PID 45097227 is proposed to be redeveloped to Established Residential Neighbourhood (ER) Designation and rezoned to Two Dwelling Unit Residential (R2) Zone. Both portions are shown on the subject property map. There are currently 25 lots on this street, and the rezoning approved in 2024 could enable 47 additional lots to be created. The current application is expected to change the total new lot count on Havenwood Drive. Under the current proposal, the applicant will be able to create 41 lots for semi-detached buildings and 4 townhouse unit lots, for a total of approximately 45 new lots. The applicant would only be able to further subdivide a small portion of the lots to permit one dwelling unit per lot. In total, there could be approximately 70 to 100 lots and 142 dwelling units located on Havenwood Drive in the future.
