Part II - Regulations Vol. 37, No. 20 N.S. Reg. 310/2013 Made: September 6, 2013 Filed: September 12, 2013 Interim Planning Area Order Order dated September 6, 2013 made by the Minister of Service Nova Scotia and Municipal Relations pursuant to subsections 214(3) and (4) of the Halifax Regional Municipality Charter Ministerial Order Establishing and Regulating an Interim Planning Area made under subsections 214(3) and (4) of the Halifax Regional Municipality Charter S.N.S. 2008, c. 39, as amended
Whereas the Governor in Council adopted the Statement of Provincial Interest Regarding the Development of the Nova Centre by Order in Council 2013-258 (dated August 6, 2013), (the “SPI”) pursuant to
Section 193 of the Municipal Government Act and identified that the timely construction of the subgrade portion of a proposed development complex by Argyle Developments Inc. (“Argyle”) in the site bounded by Argyle, Sackville, Market and Prince Streets in downtown Halifax (the “Nova Centre site”) is a matter of provincial interest; And
whereas Argyle has been carrying out excavation of the Nova Centre site, at its sole cost, expense and risk, for the construction of the development complex, which is to include office towers, a hotel, retail shops, residential space, a parking garage and a convention centre (collectively the “Nova Centre”); And
whereas the next phase of the development of the Nova Centre involves the construction of footings and foundations and other building parts, including two floors of underground parking and one floor, in whole or in part, of convention centre space (collectively the “Nova Centre Subgrade Construction”); And
whereas the Nova Centre Subgrade Construction is intended to be constructed in that part of the Nova Centre site that is below the level of the established geodetic elevations at the top of the curb along the west side of Argyle Street between Prince Street and Sackville Street and the required grade of the sidewalk between the curb and the building (the “Nova Centre Subgrade Portion”); And
whereas Argyle’s participation in the HRM by Design process resulted in changes to the original design of the Nova Centre to reflect the public’s input, and these changes have prevented Argyle from filing an application showing a design for the entire Nova Centre with the Municipality in a timely manner, and
whereas Argyle has not obtained an encroachment license or street closure authorization or otherwise complied with planning requirements of the Municipality, with the result being that the Nova Centre Subgrade Construction cannot be considered for site plan approval or a development permit or building permits by the Municipality’s permitting authority as a result of the present requirements of the Downtown Halifax Secondary Municipal Planning Strategy (“MPS”) and the Downtown Halifax Land Use By-law (“LUB”); And
whereas Argyle cannot proceed with the Nova Centre Subgrade Construction without a site plan approval, development permit and building permits, and other municipal approvals, licenses and permits, including an encroachment license or street closure authorization in respect of Grafton Street; And
whereas Argyle has applied to the Municipality, by application dated July 19, 2013, to amend the MPS and the LUB, and the Argyle application is currently under consideration by staff of the Municipality as Case No. 18708; 856 © NS Registry of Regulations. Web version.
N.S. Reg. 310/2013 Royal Gazette
Part II - Regulations Vol. 37, No. 20 And
whereas on July 23, 2013, the Council of the Municipality passed a resolution requesting that the Province consider the adoption of a Statement of Provincial Interest and the creation of an Interim Planning Area Order to facilitate the timely construction of the underground portions of the Nova Centre site; And
whereas the Municipality has advised that should it receive a request from me to adopt or amend its planning documents so that they are reasonably consistent with the SPI, it could not comply with the request in a manner that would permit the timely development and construction of the subgrade portion of the Nova Centre site, as is required in the SPI; And
whereas I am satisfied that there are necessary and compelling reasons to establish and regulate the Nova Centre Subgrade Portion as an interim planning area pursuant to
Section 214 of the Halifax Regional Municipality Charter to protect the provincial interest;
Now therefore, I order the following: 1 The Nova Centre Subgrade Portion shall be established as an Interim Planning Area. 2 The LUB is amended by adding to sub
section 10 of
section 5 the following clause: (
j) development of the Nova Centre Subgrad e Construction pursuant to subsection 15BA of
section 7 of this By-law. 3 The LUB is further amended by addi ng subsection 15BA of
section 7 as follows: (15BA) The Nova Centre Subgrade Construction ma y be developed in the Nova Centre Subgrade Portion; 4 In addition to the requirements of the LUB, the following additional conditions and requirements shall apply for the issuance of a development permit: (
a) Development of the Nova Centre Subgrade C onstruction shall be built so as to structurally support the reinstatement of Grafton Street pursuant to municipal requirements; and (
b) Vehicular access to and from the parking levels shall meet all municipal requirements and shall not be from Argyle Street. 5 Nothing in this Order shall: (
a) prevent the closure, sale, or lease of la nds owned by the Halifax Regional Municipality, including Grafton Street; and (
b) exempt the development of the Nova Centre, othe r than to the extent prescribed in this Order, from complying with the requirements of any other By-law of the Municipality or from obtaining any license, permission, permit, authority, or approval required by any other By-law of the Municipality or any regulation or other enactment of the Province of Nova Scotia or the Government of Canada. This Order has effect on September 6, 2013, and continues in effect until it is amended or revoked.

Section 14 of the Petroleum Products Pricing Act and Sections 16 to 19 of the Petroleum Products Pricing Regulations Before: Kulvinder S. Dhillon, P. Eng., Member Order
Whereas the purpose of the Petroleum Products Pricing Regulations is to ensure just and reasonable prices for specified petroleum products taking into consideration the objectives of preserving the availability of such products in rural areas, stabilizing prices of such products and minimizing the variances in prices of such products across the Province; And
whereas the Nova Scotia Utility and Review Board (“Board”) considered the manner in which it would proceed to set petroleum prices in its decision, 2006 NSUARB 108, issued on October 16, 2006; And
whereas the Board revised the retail margin and transportation allowance effective January 6, 2012, in its decision, 2011 NSUARB 181, issued on November 23, 2011; And
whereas the Board revised the wholesale margin effective January 4, 2013, in its decision 2012 NSUARB 213, issued on December 12, 2012; And
whereas the average of the average of the daily high and low reported product prices (in Canadian cents) for the week ended September 11, 2013, are: Grade 1 Regular gasoline 78.3¢ per litre Ultra-low-sulfur diesel oil 85.0¢ per litre
Now therefore the Board prescribes the benchmark prices for petroleum products to be: Gasoline: Grade 1 78.3¢ per litre Grade 2 81.3¢ per litre Grade 3 84.3¢ per litre Ultra-low-sulfur diesel oil 85.0¢ per litre And

now therefore the Board prescribes the prices for petroleum products as set forth in
