"Halifax Regional Municipality Regional Plan effective October 18, 2014"--From halifax.ca/regionalplanning/FinalRegPlan.php website.

"The Regional Plan establishes long-range, region-wide planning policies outlining where, when, and how future growth and development should take place in the municipality over the life of the Plan (to 2031). The 2014 Regional Plan represents a revision to the municipality's first Regional Plan, adopted in 2006. The 2006 Plan has been repealed. Since 2006, the region's population has grown to over 409,510 (Census, 2011). This growth has not occurred uniformly across the municipality, but has instead been focussed mainly in the urban communities and rural areas within commuting distance of the Regional Centre. In preparing the first five year review of the Regional Plan, the Stantec Quantifying Study was commissioned to assess the public, private and social costs and benefits of various growth scenarios from 2011 to 2031. The Study considered how these scenarios may impact our environment, health and social well-being, and benchmarked the region with other Canadian and US municipalities to assist in this evaluation. The Stantec Study concluded, adhering to the Regional Plan growth targets of 25% of new housing starts (growth) in the Regional Centre, 50% in the urban communities and 25% in the rural areas of HRM is estimated to save $670 million over the current pattern of development; and significant additional cost savings could be achieved by increasing growth in the Regional Centre. The 2014 Regional Plan targets at least 75% of all new housing units to be located in the Regional Centre and urban communities, with at least 25% of all new housing units within the Regional Centre by 2031. The documents presented here are electronic conversions of the text and maps of the official copies of the Regional Municipal Planning Strategy (RMPS), the Regional Subdivision By-law, and the amendments to existing Municipal Planning Strategies and Land Use By-laws required to implement the revised Regional Plan.
