Part II - Regulations Vol. 46, No. 22 N.S. Reg. 232/2022 Made: October 13, 2022 Filed: October 14, 2022 Prescribed Petroleum Products Prices Order dated October 13, 2022 made by the Nova Scotia Utility and Review Board pursuant to

Section 14 of the Petroleum Products Pricing Act and Sections 16 to 19 of the Petroleum Products Pricing Regulations Decision and Order M10795 Nova Scotia Utility and Review Board In the matter of the Petroleum Products Pricing Act - and - In the matter of prescribing prices for petroleum products under

Section 14 of the Petroleum Products Pricing Act and Sections 16 to 19 of the Petroleum Products Pricing Regulations Before: Steven M. Murphy, MBA, P.Eng., Member Decision and Order Under S. 16 of the Petroleum Products Pricing Regulations , the Board must prescribe a benchmark price for specified petroleum products every Friday. The benchmark price prescribed by the Board is the average of the average of the daily high and low reported product prices (in Canadian cents) since the last benchmark price adjustment for the petroleum product.

The Board must also prescribe retail mark-ups and calculate wholesale margins considering any factors the Board finds relevant, including transportation adjustments. The Board last set wholesale margins in its decision, 2021 NSUARB 146; retail mark-ups in its decision, 2021 NSUARB 50; and transportation adjustments in its decision, 2016 NSUARB 168. The Board also issued an Order on September 12, 2022 (2022 NSUARB 140), approving an adjustment mechanism to retail mark-ups for gasoline and diesel oil to account for the impact of credit card fees charged to retailers.

At each price setting, the Board may apply a forward-averaging correction, based on historical prices, to achieve revenue neutrality. At appropriate times of the year, the Board may also require an additional margin for winter blending of ultra-low-sulfur diesel oil. Based on the foregoing and other requirements in the Petroleum Products Pricing Act and regulations, the Board finds it appropriate to prescribe the benchmark prices and adjustments in Table “A,” the credit card fee retail mark-up adjustments in Table “B,” and the prices for petroleum products in

Section 16 of the Housing in the Halifax Regional Municipality Act Municipal Planning Strategy and Land Use By-law Amendment Order for Southdale-Mount Hope Special Planning Area made by the Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing under

Section 16 of

Chapter 21 of the Acts of 2021, the Housing in the Halifax Regional Municipality Act

Whereas the Southdale-Mount Hope Special Planning Area Order , N.S. Reg. 63/2022, was made on March 24, 2022, and designated the Southdale-Mount Hope Special Planning Area;

Whereas the Executive Panel on Housing in the Halifax Regional Municipality has recommended amendments to the Regional Centre Secondary Municipal Planning Strategy; And

whereas I am satisfied that the recommended amendments are necessary to advance the purpose of the Housing in the Halifax Regional Municipality Act ; Therefore, I order the following: 1. The Regional Centre Secondary Municipal Planning Strategy is amended by adding the text bolded below into

Section “2.9 Future Growth Node Designation”, immediately after clause (

n) of Policy F-11 and prior to 2.10 Institutional Employment Designation 2.9.1.5 Southdale Lands The Southdale Lands are adjacent to Highway 111, Mount Hope Avenue interchange, 101 Research Drive, and the terminus of Lynn Drive, in Dartmouth. The majority of the area is undeveloped and consists of woodland and a large wetland. This Future Growth Node was designated as a “Special Planning Area” by the Province of Nova Scotia in 2022.

The Woodside Vision and Action Plan, approved in principle by Regional Council in 2012, identified the need for residential development in a manner sensitive to the wetland and forested areas. Informed by additional master planning and community engagement completed under this Plan’s Future Growth Node policies, the Southdale Lands are intended to develop as a compact, walkable residential community that prioritizes pedestrians, supports access to transit, and protects the wetland.

The entire site can accommodate approximately 1,875 residential units as well as employment, commercial and institutional uses to support the new, complete community. Area[s] 1 and 2 are envisioned to accommodate approximately 875 residential units in total, with Area 3 envisioned to accommodate approximately 1,000 residential units. Sensitivity to the importance of the wetland is a key policy objective.

Future development will maintain the existing wetland and vegetated watercourse buffer around the wetland as protected open space and include stormwater management measures to protect water quality and to infiltrate runoff. The development will balance the need for a multi-use pathway, servicing and road network requirements with these objectives. 520 © NS Office of the Registrar of Regulations. Web version.

N.S. Reg. 238/2022 Royal Gazette

Part II - Regulations Vol. 46, No. 22 The Southdale Lands will be connected to the surrounding area by new public streets with sidewalks, a multi-use pathway and pedestrian pathways. Three areas are identified in this Future Growth Node on Map 25: • Area 1: this area abuts Highway 111, the wetland, the Woodside Industrial Park, Lynn Drive, and Maple Ridge Estates. Predominantly low-rise residential development is supported in this area, with some mid-rise, mixed-use buildings supported on strategic sites. A mix of housing types including “ground oriented” units and multi-unit dwellings is supported in this area.

Residential blocks will be connected by new streets, a multi-use pathway, and other pathways and trails. The wetland and adjacent watercourse buffer will be protected as open space. The area will also feature a public park as a focal point, and a new public street and multi-use path connection to Gaston Road is envisioned to support access to transit and the surrounding community. • Area 2: this area abuts Highway 111, Mount Hope Avenue, the Woodside Industrial Park, and the wetland. Tall mid-rise, mixed-use development is supported in this area. A vegetated buffer will be required next to the wetland.

The area will be connected to the rest of the development and surrounding community by a public street, a trail, and Mount Hope Avenue. Public transit is envisioned to connect this area to Area 1 and the Woodside Ferry, and pedestrian and cyclist safety will be considered as a priority in the design of Mount Hope street crossing. Land use and built form transitions will mitigate potential conflicts with the adjacent highway interchange and Woodside Industrial Park. • Area 3: this area abuts the wetland, Fenwick Street, Dartmouth South Academy public school, Research Drive and the Woodside Industrial Park.

Area 3 is divided into two sub-areas, Sub-area 3A and Sub-area 3B, to recognize different development potential. Low-rise to tall-mid-rise development is supported in this area that transitions to existing established residential neighbourhoods, and Dartmouth South Academy School. The area is intended to allow for residential uses while encouraging opportunities for employment and mixed uses. The wetland and adjacent watercourse buffer will be protected as open space and include trail connections to the surrounding areas.

The area will be connected to Area 2, the nearby neighbourhood and school through active transportation connections, and by a public street that connect[s] the Woodside Industrial Park to Fenwick Street. It is envisioned that Area 1 and Area 2 will proceed under one development agreement, while Area 3 may proceed under a separate development agreement. Policy F-12 When considering one or more Development Agreements for the Southdale Future Growth Node, Council shall consider the following: 1.

That the transportation network within the site prioritizes pedestrian safety and comfort, walking, the easy use of mobility devices, cycling, and transit use, by creating a street and pedestrian pathway network as generally shown on Map 25; 2. Site and building design that supports a compact, mixed-use neighbourhood, with built forms and land uses as generally shown on Map 25 and by: (

i) generally meeting the built form and land use regulations as set out in the Land Use By-law, (ii) building and open space design that complements parks and open spaces and contributes 521 © NS Office of the Registrar of Regulations. Web version.

Section 14 of the Petroleum Products Pricing Act and Sections 16 to 19 of the Petroleum Products Pricing Regulations Decision and Order M10809 Nova Scotia Utility and Review Board In the matter of the Petroleum Products Pricing Act - and - In the matter of prescribing prices for petroleum products under

Section 14 of the Petroleum Products Pricing Act and Sections 16 to 19 of the Petroleum Products Pricing Regulations Before: Stephen T. McGrath, LL.B., Chair Decision and Order Under S. 16 of the Petroleum Products Pricing Regulations , the Board must prescribe a benchmark price for specified petroleum products every Friday. The benchmark price prescribed by the Board is the average of the average of the daily high and low reported product prices (in Canadian cents) since the last benchmark price adjustment for the petroleum product.

The Board must also prescribe retail mark-ups and calculate wholesale margins considering any factors the Board finds relevant, including transportation adjustments. The Board last set wholesale margins in its decision, 2021 NSUARB 146; retail mark-ups in its decision, 2021 NSUARB 50; and transportation adjustments in its decision, 2016 NSUARB 168. The Board also issued an Order on September 12, 2022 (2022 NSUARB 140), approving an adjustment mechanism to retail mark-ups for gasoline and diesel oil to account for the impact of credit card fees charged to retailers.

At each price setting, the Board may apply a forward-averaging correction, based on historical prices, to achieve revenue neutrality. At appropriate times of the year, the Board may also require an additional margin for winter blending of ultra-low-sulfur diesel oil. Based on the foregoing and other requirements in the Petroleum Products Pricing Act and regulations, the Board finds it appropriate to prescribe the benchmark prices and adjustments in Table “A,” the credit card fee retail mark-up adjustments in Table “B,” and the prices for petroleum products in

Reg. 242/2022 Made: October 21, 2022 Filed: October 24, 2022 Prescribed Petroleum Products Prices Order dated October 21, 2022 made by the Nova Scotia Utility and Review Board pursuant to

Section 14 of the Petroleum Products Pricing Act and Sections 16 to 19 of the Petroleum Products Pricing Regulations Decision and Order M10815 Nova Scotia Utility and Review Board In the matter of the Petroleum Products Pricing Act - and - In the matter of prescribing prices for petroleum products under

Section 14 of the Petroleum Products Pricing Act and Sections 16 to 19 of the Petroleum Products Pricing Regulations Before: Stephen McGrath, LL.B., Chair Decision and Order Under S. 16 of the Petroleum Products Pricing Regulations , the Board must prescribe a benchmark price for specified petroleum products every Friday. However, the Board may prescribe a benchmark price any time, and due to significant changes in the price of petroleum products, the Board has determined that it is appropriate to adjust its most recently prescribed weekly prices. 542 © NS Office of the Registrar of Regulations.

N.S. Reg. 242/2022 Royal Gazette

Part II - Regulations Vol. 46, No. 22 The benchmark price prescribed by the Board is the average of the average of the daily high and low reported product prices (in Canadian cents) since the last benchmark price adjustment for the petroleum product. The Board must also prescribe retail mark-ups and calculate wholesale margins considering any factors the Board finds relevant, including transportation adjustments. The Board last set wholesale margins in its decision, 2021 NSUARB 146; retail mark-ups in its decision, 2021 NSUARB 50; and transportation adjustments in its decision, 2016 NSUARB 168.

The Board also issued an Order on September 12, 2022 (2022 NSUARB 140), approving an adjustment mechanism to retail mark-ups for gasoline and diesel oil to account for the impact of credit card fees charged to retailers. At each price setting, the Board may apply a forward-averaging correction, based on historical prices, to achieve revenue neutrality. At appropriate times of the year, the Board may also require an additional margin for winter blending of ultra-low-sulfur diesel oil.

Based on the foregoing and other requirements in the Petroleum Products Pricing Act and regulations, the Board finds it appropriate to prescribe the benchmark prices and adjustments in Table “A,” the credit card fee retail mark-up adjustments in Table “B,” and the prices for petroleum products in
