Summary:

A Density Bonus is an increase in built area in exchange for public amenities and/or benefits that contribute to the livability and proper planning of the neighbourhood affected by the resulting increase in density. Municipal permission is given via pre-zoning or sitespecific agreements. Halifax Regional Municipality (HRM) has been practicing density bonusing in Downtown Halifax since 2009. Until recently this was the only area where the HRM Charter permitted density bonusing. The last round of amendments to the Charter has enabled HRM to extend this practice to the Centre Plan area that comprises the entire Halifax peninsula plus Dartmouth lands inside the Circumferential Highway. The area covers 33 square kilometres with a wide variety of residential, retail, commercial, institutional and recreation activities, and a multitude of building types to accommodate them. This study provides thoroughly researched answers to four questions: 1. Is HRM getting the best value out of density bonusing as a planning tool? 2. What can be learned from other municipalities that have had successes and challenges using density bonusing? 3. How can density bonusing be improved in order to achieve more/better public benefits? 4. How should density bonusing be expanded and implemented within the Centre Plan Area?
