On September 18, 2018, the Council of the Cape Breton Regional Municipality approved amendments to the CBRM MUNICIPAL PLANNING STRATEGY AND LAND USE BYLAW AND THE NORTH END SYDNEY SECONDARY PLANNING STRATEGY AND LAND USE BYLAW TO IDENTIFY AREAS WHERE CBRM’S PROPOSED COMMERCIAL DISTRICT IMPROVEMENT BYLAW WILL BE IN EFFECT. The Nova Scotia Department of Municipal Affairs has reviewed the amendments and has deemed that they do not require provincial approval. The proposed Commercial District Improvement Bylaw will allow for the phasing in of increases in commercial property taxes resulting from new development in these areas for a period of up to ten years, subject to certain conditions.
The areas proposed to be affected by the proposed bylaw are the historic downtown areas of:
- Sydney
- Whitney Pier
- Louisbourg
- New Waterford
- Dominion
- Glace Bay
- North Sydney
- Sydney Mines
and the following business parks:
- Harbourside (a portion thereof)
- Sydport
- Northside
The purpose of the proposed amendments is to encourage new business development in downtown cores and business parks in the Cape Breton Regional Municipality.
THE AMENDMENTS ARE IN EFFECT AS OF THE DATE OF THIS NOTICE.
