Land Use Bylaw - Second Reading

4/30/2025

 
On April 24, 2025 Mahone Bay Town Council gave second reading to amendments to the Town’s Land Use Bylaw.

The amendment to section 6.4.1 removes the requirement for parking to be located exclusively at the rear of a building in the Residential Multi-Unit (RM) Zone.

The amendment to section 16.2.1(i) removes the requirement, for new residential construction proceeding via site plan approval, for parking areas to be located at the rear of the building.

This decision of Council can be appealed to the Nova Scotia Utility and Review Board (phone 1-902-424-4448) by any aggrieved person, by the Provincial Director of Planning, or by the Council of an adjacent Municipality within fourteen (14) days after the date of the publication of this notice.

For further information, call 902-624-8327 or 902-274-2599.
Kelly Munroe, Municipal Clerk
