Saint John Heritage Conservation Areas By -Law — Phase Two Amendments OPEN OR CLOSED SESSION This matter is to be discussed in open session of Common Council. AUTHORIZATION Primary Author Commissioner/Dept. HeadCity Manager Emma Sampson Jacqueline Hamilton / Amy Poffenroth John Collin RECOMMENDATION Your City Manager recommends that: a) Common Council Adopt amendments to the Heritage By -Law through the by-law amendment entitled "HC -1, A Law to Amend the Saint John Heritage Conservation Areas By -Law"; and, b) Common Council adopt the Local Historic Place Designation Policy. Should Council wish further amendments to the proposed Heritage By-law, referral to staff is recommended prior to first and second reading. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This report positions Council to move forward with the adoption of the second phase of proposed amendments to the Heritage Conservations Areas By -Law that is being considered at a public hearing on December 9, 2019. These include: 1. Amendments relating to the design of new buildings or substantial additions (infill); and, 2. An amendment to remove the designation of a single property from the Douglas Avenue Heritage Conservation Area. This set of amendments mark the completion of an identified priority of Common Council, aimed at enabling more flexibility for infill development to support growth and investment in the City's Heritage Conservation Areas. K3 -2 - This report will introduce for adoption by Common Council the following policy: 3. The Local Historic Place Designation Policy, which comes following direction through resolution of Common Council on October 21, 2019. PREVIOUS RESOLUTION On September 23, 2019 Common Council resolved that the by-law entitled, "By - Law Number HC -1, Saint John Heritage Conservation Areas By -Law", incorporating a number of amendments, be read for the third time. On October 21, 2019, Common Council resolved that: a) Staff incorporate the proposed framework and evaluation matrix for consideration of individual sites of potential heritage as Local Historic Places in the Phase 2 Heritage Conservation Areas By -Law revisions; and, b) Acknowledging the continued status of those individual sites already designated as Heritage Conservation Areas, that Common Council support the interpretation of Heritage Conservation Areas as cohesive areas or continuous designated streetscapes. STRATEGIC ALIGNMENT The proposed changes to the Saint John Heritage Conservation Areas By -Law align with Common Council's 2016-2020 priorities to support a Vibrant, Safe City through the modernization of Heritage Conservation processes, as well as a Valued Service Delivery through customer -focused services and a culture of continuous improvement. REPORT Common Council has recognized the need for improvements to the Saint John Heritage Conservation Areas By -Law (Heritage By -Law), and has formalized that need by including the modernization of the Heritage By -Law in the 2016-2020 Common Council Priorities. In removing barriers to development through this modernization, the City will move forward its goals of creating density and growing the residential tax base, further solidifying its Heritage Conservation Areas as desirable, attractive places to live, work and play. Updating the Heritage By-law began with formal stakeholder engagements organized in the second half of 2017, in conjunction with the development of the Central Peninsula Plan to identify areas of improvement for the By -Law. These engagements were followed by a series of focus groups, workshops with the CI -3 - Heritage Development Board, and a comprehensive review of the Heritage By - Law by leading heritage experts, Taylor Hazell Architects. Collectively, these engagements highlighted the need for clarity, efficiency and most importantly, flexibility in the Heritage By -Law and its administration, while still protecting the valuable integrity of the City's built heritage. Following high-level engagements in the spring and summer of 2019, the first phase of revisions to the Heritage Conservation Areas By -Law was brought to Common Council for public hearing on September 9, 2019 and received 3rd reading on September 23, 2019, marking the completion of the first phase of one of Common Council's priorities. From the September 9, 2019 public hearing, it was determined that more consideration was needed on the matter of individual property designation. On October 21, 2019, having seen through a commitment to return with more information around the matter, staff received direction through resolution of Common Council to proceed with a framework and evaluation matrix for the use of Local Historic Place designation to be delivered in conjunction with the second phase of by-law amendments. This policy document accompanies Phase Two of the Heritage By -Law amendments, which are being considered through public hearing on December 9, 2019. PROPOSED AMENDMENTS The amendments that are proposed to be brought forward for Public Hearing on December 9, 2019 are centered on design guidelines for new development (infill) or major additions to existing buildings, replacing the existing infill standards. Also included in the amendments is the revision of the definition of 'heritage conservation area' to support the direction of Common Council through its previous resolution of October 21, 2019, and a request for removal of designation for a single property in the Douglas Avenue Heritage Conservation Area. Separate to these by-law items, but included for approval within this report, is the Local Historic Place Designation Policy, formalizing the framework that was initially presented to Common Council at its meeting of October 21, 2019. Following the directive of Common Council through its resolution at that meeting, the framework has been developed into a full policy document that will serve to direct staff, the Heritage Development Board, and Common Council with relation to recognition of individual properties of heritage value. 1. HERITAGE BY-LAW PHASE TWO AMENDMENTS A key area for improvement in the Heritage By -Law, as identified through public engagements, focus groups, and workshops, are the criteria for the design of new buildings, or infill, and major additions in Heritage Conservation Areas. The existing standards, while thorough in their consideration of all design elements, have been seen as prescriptive and inflexible, favouring designs that imitate or 61 -4 - replicate existing heritage buildings and making it challenging for contemporary or unconventional designs. Additionally, given that the Heritage Development Board and staff do not have the ability to grant variances in the Heritage By -Law through the enabling legislation, a proposed project that fails to meet one or any of the current standards cannot be approved, or if it is, can be subject to appeal through the Assessment & Planning Appeal Board. To allow for more variety of design in development while ensuring that the heritage character of a neighbourhood or streetscape is protected, a new approach to the design and approval of infill projects has been developed. Overall building height and streetwall height, which is discussed in more detail through the report for the Central Peninsula Plan, will now be governed through the Zoning By -Law, will allow for variances when required or requested. The maps for these items were developed by both Planning and Heritage Conservation staff, and took into consideration the prevailing neighbourhood trends and the existing heritage fabric. Outside of overall building height and streetwall height, the remainder of design elements will be guided by a new, three -tiered system that lives as a schedule in the Heritage By -Law. These guidelines progress beyond imitation or replication of heritage buildings, which is detrimental to heritage conservation itself, and allow for a broader range of architectural styles: from those that are inspired by and take cues from the neighbouring buildings, to those that are truly contemporary. For each of these tiers, which will be discussed in full shortly, are new application requirements, coordinating degree of oversight and analysis to how contemporary the design is. This helps to ensure that a new development or a major addition to a building is considerate of its setting. General Provisions For all developments, building setbacks and sideyards will match the general trend of the block face. This is to ensure that, where there is an existing streetwall, it is not interrupted or if there is a strong pattern that exists in a neighbourhood with regard to building placement, it is maintained. As well, for elements of a new development or addition that are stepped back from the primary massing or streetwall, those elements are exempt from any standards on design and articulation, windows, and materiality. Tier One These are designs that take inspiration from their historic setting. This is achieved through similar building composition, such the amount of solid material versus windows, orientation of windows, and a three-part building structure (well-defined top, middle and bottom). These designs also see the use of traditional materials or reasonable substitutes. These designs will mesh well with the existing streetscape, while being easily identified as new construction. C.1 -5 - Because these designs are intended to be highly compatible with their settings, approval for applications that are categorized as Tier One remains the same as it is currently. Approval of an application and Heritage Permit issuance would be through the Heritage Officer and the Heritage Development Board with a standard application package (plans, elevations, and details). Tier Two These designs begin to step away from traditional building composition, while still retaining some influence. The three-part building structure is maintained, along with the amount of solid material versus windows. What begins to vary is the style of commercial storefronts when included, the proportions and orientation of windows, and materials, provided they are of a similar colour palette to traditional materials. These designs will be clearly contemporary, but still reference back to and carry influence from their setting. Approval of an application and Heritage Permit issuance would still be through the Heritage Officer and the Heritage Development Board. In addition to the standard application package, a Heritage Impact Statement would also be required. This is a brief document, prepared by the project architect, that describes the positive impacts the development could be expected to have on the site, on the adjacent buildings, and on the neighbourhood, as well as the negative impacts and any proposed mitigation or alternatives. The inclusion of this document will allow for evaluation as to whether the historic setting has been fully considered with relation to the project, to ensure a development that does not disrupt the heritage fabric. Tier Three As they are intended to be completely contemporary, with no requirement to reflect historic buildings in their structure, design or materials, these designs are exempt from standards for Design & Articulation, Ground Floor Height & Articulation, Materials, Windows and Roofs. As a result of these exemptions, the requirements for an application determined to be a Tier Three development ask the most of the applicant. Rather than a Heritage Impact Statement, the project architect is required to submit a Heritage Impact Assessment. This document is similar to the Statement, but also asks for detailed site and environment analysis, in addition to a more detailed review of the impacts on the site, on the adjacent buildings, and on the neighbourhood. Separate to this, a Tier Three application also includes a Third -Party Peer Review. The Peer Review will be commissioned by the City, from an architect not associated with the project, to review the design, meeting standard practice for major projects in many jurisdictions. The Heritage Officer and the Heritage Development Board will review Tier Three applications, but rather than the Board handling permit issuance, it will be providing its recommendation to Common Council for a by- r� -6 - law amendment. This will ensure more transparency in the review of the proposed development and will provide greater opportunity, through public hearings, for feedback on what will be key architectural moments for the City of Saint John. 2. EXTERNAL AMENDMENT REQUEST One external request for amendment to the Heritage By -Law has been submitted and considered by the Heritage Development Board. This request has been included in the proposed amendments. The property owner of 249 Douglas Avenue (PID 00379255) has requested the removal of designation for that property, which is located within the Douglas Avenue Heritage Conservation Area. In 2017, the property owner was issued a Heritage Permit for demolition on that site, following the required public listing for sale of the property with no purchaser. With the property demolished, an infill project was considered initially, but the owner has since had the vacant lot for sale for over a year with no purchaser. The request for removal of designation was made from the position of the owner that the designation itself was actively preventing the sale of the property. It was acknowledged by both the staff report and by the Board in its comments that the loss of a structure does not suggest that the designation should necessarily be removed for a property. Were the lot in the middle of a larger designated area, e.g. on Germain Street, or part of a cohesive streetscape, a request for removal would very likely receive a recommendation of denial. Where Douglas Avenue can be considered a collection of spot designations, and where the two neighbouring properties do not have designation, the recommendation from both staff and from the Heritage Development Board is, regretfully, to remove the property at 249 Douglas Avenue, PID 00379255 from the Saint John Heritage Conservation Areas By -Law.

LOCAL HISTORIC PLACES DESIGNATION POLICY This policy document is the formalization of the framework and evaluation matrix around Local Historic Places that was approved by Common Council on October 21, 2019. At that time, Common Council resolved that staff incorporate the framework and evaluation matrix, which, following its adoption by Common Council, would bring into effect a standing policy around the recognition of individual properties of heritage value. Where this is a policy document, it is not formally part of the public hearing of December 9, 2019, however the revision of the definition of 'heritage conservation area' in the Heritage By -Law coordinates with this policy and with the resolution of Common Council. Outlined below is the framework approved by Common Council and incorporated into policy. Request for designation as a Local Historic Place is made by a property owner, Lasing the report, the property is scored by a sub -committee of the Heritage Development Board using the evaluation matrix. Through a Resolution of Common Council, the property is designated as a Local Historic Place. -8 - With guidance of staff, property owner subrn-miits a. report on the history and architectural value of the property, If the property's score passes the Predetermined benchmark, the Heritage Development Board recommends the property's designation as a Local Historic Place to Common Council. New and existing Local Historic Places are re0ewed regularly to help identify potential new Heritage Conservation Areas. This policy creates a stepped, predictable process for property owners who are interested in designation and are enthusiastic about heritage. It addresses the lack of established critical analysis around potential heritage value through an evaluation matrix that aims to be objective and encompassing of heritage values beyond architectural merit. Lastly, it can allow for more well-informed creation of new Heritage Conservation Areas through neighbourhood initiative. In consideration of financial incentives, incentives at a municipal level will be addressed more fully through the Heritage Grant Program Policy, while access to provincial incentives comes by right of being designated as a Local Historic Place. 54 Q0[y1LillM01 The Saint John Heritage Conservation Areas By -Law has and will continue to provide for appropriate development and the conservation of historic buildings within the City. Allowing for a wider and more contemporary variety of new development in Heritage Conservation Areas, accompanied by appropriate oversight, will help ensure vibrant new development that enhances the heritage character of the City of Saint John. By coordinating this modernization with the larger vision of the Central Peninsula Plan, the City will be setting the stage for transformative change now and for years to come, creating the heritage of tomorrow. SERVICE AND FINANCIAL OUTCOMES ito] -9 - The proposed new infill standards will allow for greater variety of design within Heritage Conservation Areas for new developments and major additions.

H-4.05 and provides the City the ability to recognise properties of architectural, cultural or historical significance. Where Local Historic Place designation is not registered on property title and is not affected by the Saint John Heritage Conservation Areas By -Law, this policy document will determine the procedure for evaluating properties for designation and for having the designation put in place by Common Council. OBJECTIVES Primary: To formally adopt a second tier of municipal heritage designation, recognising the extensive heritage present in Saint John; and, To establish an objective set of criteria for assessment as a Local Heritage Place. Secondary: To identify, through Local Historic Place designations, potential areas for the creation of new Heritage Conservation Areas in the future; To recognise and bring awareness to properties of heritage value; and, To encourage retention of Local Historic Places. ELIGIBLE PROPERTIES Any property within the boundaries of the City of Saint John that is not currently designated as a Local Historic Place is eligible for consideration through this policy. PROCEDURE I. Applications a. A property owner interested in consideration as a Local Historic Place shall submit to Heritage Conservation staff a report outlining any architectural, cultural or historical value the property may possess. b. This report may be prepared by the property owner or by a third party or parties. Page 1 of 6 fiMU c. There shall be no requirements as to the length, format, or content of the report as information available for individual properties will likely vary. A property can only be evaluated, however, based on the information provided through the report, the quality and extent of which may impact the outcome of the evaluation. II. Evaluation a. On a semi-annual basis, a sub -committee of the Heritage Development Board shall review any applications for consideration as a Local Historic Place that have been submitted. b. The sub -committee shall be comprised of no fewer than two and no more than four Board members and the Heritage Officer, and shall include a member of the Board who is a registered architect. c. Members of the Heritage Development Board shall be appointed to the sub -committee through nomination and a simple vote of the Board. d. The sub -committee shall use for evaluation the scoring matrix attached to this document as Schedule A. III. Recommendations a. At a regular meeting of the Heritage Development Board, the sub -committee shall present to the Board its scores for all properties that have received evaluation. b. These scores shall be presented in writing as prepared by Heritage Conservation staff, and shall include whether the score passes the benchmark established as part of the scoring matrix in Schedule A. c. The Board shall make recommendations to Common Council for the designation of properties as Local Historic Places for those properties that have scored above the benchmark. IV. Designation a. The recommendations of the Heritage Development Board shall be submitted to Common Council. b. The recommended properties may, by resolution of Common Council, be considered for designated as Local Historic Places. c. This designation does not affect the title of the property nor does it impose any restrictions or obligations on the owner of the property (Heritage Conservation Act, SNB 2010, c. H-4.05, s. 68(2)). FUTURE EVALUATION As needed, staff and/or the Heritage Development Board may review a map of Local Historic Place designations to determine whether a new Heritage Conservation Area or Areas might be considered for review or further analysis. REMOVAL OF DESIGNATION Page 2 of 6 121 The removal of Local Historic Place designation may be made by resolution of Common Council if: a. It is requested by the property owner; or, b. The building or structure that has been designated no longer exists. FINANCIAL INCENTIVES Eligibility and requirements for financial incentives, if any, for Local Historic Places through the Heritage Grant Program are outlined in the Heritage Grant Program Policy.

Page 6 of 6 SANT JOHN �z a r," ill, December 4, 2019 Your Worship Don Darling and Members of Common Council Re: Heritage Conservation Areas By -Law — Phase Two Revisions Over the past two years, the Heritage Development Board has been closely involved with the review and revision of the Saint John Heritage Conservation Areas By -Law. Through many focus groups, workshops, and public meetings, the Board is pleased to have worked with staff to develop amendments that, when approved, will mark the completion of one of Common Council's identified priorities. At the November 13th, 2019 meeting of the Heritage Development Board, members of the Board unanimously and enthusiastically approved a motion recommending to Common Council the approval of the proposed amendments to the Saint John Heritage Conservation Areas By -Law. These amendments will usher in a new approach for infill developments and major additions, allowing for more variety in architectural design while respecting our built heritage. The Heritage Development Board has also reviewed one external request for amendments to accompany this by-law. At its October 9th, 2019 meeting, with regret, it recommended a motion to approve the removal of the designation for the vacant property at 249 Douglas Avenue, in the Douglas Avenue Heritage Conservation Area. Finally, at its November 27th, 2019 and December 4th, 2019 meetings, the Board unanimously recommended to Common Council the adoption of the Local Historic Place Designation Policy and the Evaluation Matrix. This Policy will formally enact a second level of heritage recognition, helping to identify properties of heritage value and build awareness and participation in heritage conservation.

The Committee considered the attached report at its November 26, 2019 meeting. Mr. Andrew Reid, Planner, presented the proposed Central Peninsula Secondary Plan and associated Municipal Plan and Zoning By-law Amendments on behalf of the City of Saint John. The Plan is designed to unlock the growth potential of the various neighbourhoods and corridors within the Central Peninsula and provide a new framework for building height and urban design. He also acknowledged the hard work put into the plan by members of the Neighbourhood Action Team, which unanimously endorsed the Plan and amendments before Committee. Mr. Reid advised the Committee that the proposed changes to height will work in concert with updates to the Heritage Conservation Areas By-law to create a new framework for infill development in heritage areas. It was also noted in the presentation that three letters of support for the application were received during the public comment period. Prior to hearing from the Public, Mr. Reid clarified a number of questions from the Committee: • Funding partners of the project (Federation of Canadian Municipalities, Uptown Saint John and Province of New Brunswick) - this clarified that the City did not have to take on the full cost of such a significant planning exercise; and Page 1 of 3 171 City of Saint John. Central Peninsula Secondary Plan November 26, 2019 • Proposed "Schedule I" (Zoning By-law amendments) — clarification around where ground floor commercial will be required and encouraged was provided. Jonathan Rasenburg spoke generally in favour of the plan, however had some concerns with building heights in and around Queens Square and Sydney Street near Tin Can Beach. He indicated a lot was for sale along Sydney Street and had met with Staff about a potential project on the site and that the proposed height limit may be to low. He indicated that heights around Queen Square and adjacent to shorelines, where preferential views may be available, should be higher to capitalize on the development potential of those sites. Following Mr. Rasenburg's comments, Mr. Reid clarified the heights around Queen Square were higher than surrounding neighbourhoods to encourage more density around the park. Heights along Sydney Street were set at 14 metres which would allow up to 5 stories, but the proposed Zoning By-law amendments would allow for a variance process which could enable increased height. Davina McFarland spoke in favour of the plan. She advised the Committee that she had recently moved from Toronto and was very pleased to see how the plan had come together and would spark future growth of the neighbourhood. Melissa Wakefield spoke in favour of the plan. She elaborated that she was in favour of the plan in three ways: • as a representative of the Neighbourhood Action Team that oversaw the plan's progress and unanimously supported the proposal before Committee; • as a Heritage Board member that unanimously endorsed the upcoming Heritage Conservation Areas By-law changes (which work together with the Central Peninsula Secondary Plan); and • as an Architect that is pleased to see the growth and vibrancy of the area. Peter Hazen spoke in favour of the plan. Mr. Hazen is a resident of the Queen's Square area. He likes the approach of the plan, and is hopeful that more stores open in the Uptown area. He is also hopeful that with an increase in population, this will spur the need for a full grocery store for the Peninsula. Staff responded to further questions of the Committee that included: • Elaboration of the proposed height framework as a result of a comment made by a member of the public; • Explanation of the parking area exemption proposed — no parking requirement would be required in the Uptown exemption area. Ms. Jacqueline Hamilton, Commissioner of Growth and Community Development provided additional context that this approach had been Page 2 of 3 172 City of Saint John. Central Peninsula Secondary Plan November 26, 2019 considered with PlanSJ, however there was not sufficient empirical data that this would work. Now, it is a trend in cities across the Country and evidence shows it works well and removes potential barriers to development. • Variance process to height and streetwall and how variances would be considered; • Definition and function of live work units and how they are different from Home Occupations; and • Clarity around proposed changes to some policy preambles. Following additional questions of Staff, the Committee spent significant time to convey their appreciation and support of the proposed Plan and associated amendments. The Committee wanted to express that this was a significant project and that Staff did an excellent job working with the Committee to create a plan that is aspirational, optimistic and builds on the strengths of the Central Peninsula. The Committee feels that this is a great vision for the future. For these reasons, the Planning Advisory Committee unanimously supported the staff recommendation to adopt the proposed Municipal Plan and Zoning By-law amendments. We congratulate Staff, the Neighbourhood Action Team and all those involved in making this Plan a reality. RECOMMENDATION: Planning Advisory Committee recommends that Common Council: Adopt the Central Peninsula Secndary Plan and associated Municipal Plan amendments through the attached by-law amendment entitled "By-law No. C.P. 106-20, A Law to Amend the Municipal Plan By-law of the City of Saint John." 2.

SUMMARY This report seeks the consideration of the proposed Central Peninsula Secondary Plan ("the Secondary Plan"), which has been three years in the making and recently began the legislative adoption process on October 7, 2019. Recognizing the importance of the Central Peninsula for the City and the Greater Saint John Area, the Secondary Plan is a key directive of the Municipal Plan. Amendments to the Municipal Plan, Zoning By-law and Saint John Heritage Conservation Area By-law are proposed in conjunction to begin implementation of the Secondary Plan. The Secondary Plan and supporting amendments will encourage growth and reinvestment and foster a lively and sustainable uptown core and urban residential neighbourhoods. Page 1 of 8 174 Central Peninsula Secondary Plan November 22, 2019 RECOMMENDATION Planning Advisory Committee recommends that Common Council: Adopt the Central Peninsula Secondary Plan and associated Municipal Plan amendments through the attached by-law amendment entitled "By-law No. C.P. 106-20, A Law to Amend the Municipal Plan By-law of the City of Saint John." 2. Adopt amendments to the Zoning By-law through the attached by-law amendment entitled "By-law No. C. P. 111 -XX, A Law to Amend the Zoning By-law of the City of Saint John." DECISION HISTORY On November 18, 2019, Common Council received a report containing three letters of support for the Secondary Plan. Common Council referred the Municipal Plan and Zoning By-law Amendments to the Planning Advisory Committee for a recommendation and set a date for the public hearing. On October 7, 2019, Common Council received and filed a report to initiate the legislative adoption process of the Central Peninsula Secondary Plan based on recommendation of the Neighbourhood Action Team. On June 17, 2019, Common Council received and filed a project update for the Central Peninsula Secondary Plan, which included a formal adoption timeline and the allocation of the $500,000 Neighbourhood Plan Capital Fund. Throughout 2017-2019, Common Council and Growth Committee received various project updates on the plan, including community engagement reports. During this time, the Neighbourhood Action Team was pivotal in the planning process and gave input at monthly meetings. On October 3, 2016, Common Council initiated the project planning for the Neighbourhood Planning process for the Central Peninsula, with the official project launch held in May 2017. Development of a neighbourhood plan was a 2016-2020 priority established by Council. ANALYSIS Central Peninsula Secondary Plan Common Council initiated the formal adoption of the Secondary Plan on October 7, 2019 following three years of development, collaboration with the Neighbourhood Action Team ("the NAT"), and input provided by thousands of citizens. Interviews, workshops, open houses, Page 2 of 8 175 Central Peninsula Secondary Plan November 22, 2019 surveys, design charrettes, online engagement, and attendance of neighbourhood events were all means of engagement to reach as broad a cross-section of citizens as possible. Over two thousand comments were captured and reported back to Council in the form of "What We Heard" reports. With the aid of the Neighbourhood Action Team the top issues were synthesized as: infilling vacant lots and addressing derelict buildings, protecting heritage buildings while encouraging new growth, addressing litter and waste issues, improving active transportation and pedestrian infrastructure, addressing the need for more trees and greening, and increasing access to the waterfront. In addition to traditional planning and land use tools, the Secondary Plan is complemented by a Capital Strategy and Community Action Strategy to address social and economic sector issues. The Community Action Strategy is an important component to consulting, collaborating, and empowering the community to achieve the Secondary Plan's vision. On September 24, 2019, the NAT reviewed the final version of the Secondary Plan and recommended Council proceed with the legislative adoption process of the Plan. The legislated role of the Planning Advisory Committee in this process is to give its written views and make recommendation to Council regarding the adoption of the Plan and associated amendments. As with PlanSJ, the Planning Advisory Committee will furthermore play an important role in implementing the Secondary Plan through the consideration of its policies and By-laws upon adoption. The Secondary Plan (Attachment 1) represents an important milestone in the implementation of the City's Municipal Plan. In accordance with the Community Planning Act, the Secondary Plan will form part of the Municipal Plan. The Secondary Plan area is comprised of the Primary Centre (Uptown) and two Urban Neighbourhood Intensification Areas (South End and Waterloo Village). Added to this area are the main transportation links that form the corridors of the Central Peninsula. The Municipal Plan targets this area for the most significant growth and change to catalyze vibrant mixed-use neighbourhoods. The Municipal Plan provides the policy and urban design framework for the Uptown, Waterloo Village, and South End (Policy LU -33 and Policy UD -11). Consistent with these policies, the Secondary Plan achieves the following through a combination of policies, proposals, a capital strategy, and a community action strategy: ✓ Detailed growth goals of 1,200 new units and 2,400 new residents based on market analysis with growth concepts to demonstrate forms and locations of residential and mixed-use development. ✓ Identification of investment priorities including key public space, park and streetscaping improvements through capital strategy, growth concepts and 5 -year work plan. ✓ Further development of arts and culture, events and amenities as identified in 5 -year work plan and community action strategy. ✓ Strategies to protect and promote the reuse of heritage assets and to allow greater clarity and predictability of process, including added flexibility to consider contemporary heritage infill projects. Page 3 of 8 176 Central Peninsula Secondary Plan November 22, 2019 ✓ Priorities for active transportation and transit considered through the lens of complete streets in coordination with MoveSJ. ✓ Strategies to accommodate demand for parking while ensuring attractiveness of the Uptown and encouragement of infill projects. ✓ Greater clarity around maximum heights and new urban design provisions to create a more animated and cohesive pedestrian environment. ✓ Robust implementation, actions and outreach on non -jurisdictional issues such as the Central Peninsula School and affordable housing. The Secondary Plan will capitalize on existing momentum and help guide growth in the Uptown, Waterloo Village, and South End neighbourhoods over the next 30 years. The capital projects identified in the Secondary Plan and ongoing implementation of the Community Action Strategy aim to ensure the Secondary Plan remains a living and holistic document, driven to fulfillment by both the City and the community. Municipal Plan, Zoning By-law and Heritage By-law amendments are being proposed in conjunction with the adoption of the Secondary Plan in order to immediately put into operation Secondary Plan policy. These amendments are outlined below. Municipal Plan Amendment The Municipal Plan By-law amendment (Attachment 2) updates the Municipal Plan preamble, terms, and the following policies areas: • Growth Concepts (LU -31.1, LU -68,1, LU -85.1) to provide for future transition to new land uses in consideration of growth concepts and key corridors identified in the Secondary Plan. (#8,#10,#11) • Heritage (AC -50, AC -52.1) to encourage context -appropriate contemporary infill development and provide new tools for heritage review. (#18, #19) • Active Transportation Policy (TM -10) to include the Secondary Plan in Active Transportation considerations. (#15) • Parking (LU -15, LU -28, TM -62) to provide clarity around surface parking, parking reduction in the Uptown, and discouraging surface parking following demolition within heritage conservation areas. (#4, #5, #16) • Housekeeping changes in accordance with amendment to Community Planning Act (1-1 e) to reinforce that where there is any conflict between the Municipal Plan and Secondary Plan, the Municipal Plan prevails. (#20) Zoning By-law Amendment The Zoning By-law amendment package (Attachment 3) is guided by the Secondary Plan to enhance clarity and predictability of the development review process and design outcomes. In addition to implementing the goals and growth concepts of the Secondary Plan, the amendment Page 4 of 8 177 Central Peninsula Secondary Plan November 22, 2019 is in conformity with Municipal Plan policy and recent studies (e.g. Parking, MoveSJ). A summary of the amendment by topic area is provided below. On -Site Parkinq • Reducing on-site parking requirements within the Parking Exemption Area to support infill and active transportability aims. (#4) • Applicable policies: ➢ Policy LU -68 of the Municipal Plan. ➢ Policy CC -10 of the Secondary Plan. The Parking Exemption Area currently exempts additional on-site parking under certain conditions. The proposed amendment clarifies these provisions by removing on-site requirements and letting parking in the exemption area be determined by market demand. This update supports the aims of the intensification area, the goals of PlanSJ, and the findings of the MoveSJ Strategic Plan. Building Height and Massing • Central Peninsula Zone Building Height and Massing Overlay Zone. (#5) • Applicable policies: ➢ Policies LU -33(c) and UD -11 of the Municipal Plan. ➢ Policies BD -3, 4, and 5 of the Secondary Plan. This amendment will create greater clarity and predictability of process in terms of maximum height. Within the Uptown Commercial (CU) zone, maximum heights are currently permissive but a large area is subject to separate process through the Heritage By-law. The Maximum Building Height Schedule G refines maximum heights by location, directing taller buildings to where they can be accommodated and are desirable per the direction of the Secondary Plan. Height and massing regulations for infill projects within Heritage Conservation Areas will transfer from the Heritage By-law to the Zoning By-law. Maximum street wall heights are established to offset the effect of taller buildings and special consideration is given to the Trinity Royal Heritage Conservation Area through street -specific standards. The Heritage Board has been engaged throughout the development of this approach and on November 13, 2019 recommended approval of the Heritage By-law amendments to Common Council. Consistent with the intent of PlanSJ, these provisions will also raise the bar for urban design within the Central Peninsula as a whole. Outside of Heritage Conservation Areas, step back requirements will apply to taller developments to ensure a human scale street wall is created where necessary, while maintaining flexibility within the process where there may be reasonable variances. In terms of process, a Design Review Committee (DRC) was initially investigated as a vehicle for this improvement; however, it was determined that new provisions for a DRC were not viable to incorporate until further changes are made to the Community Planning Act. Therefore, a combined approach of Zoning By-law, Heritage By-law, and Urban Design Guidelines has been pursued instead. Page 5 of 8 178 Central Peninsula Secondary Plan November 22, 2019 Urban Centre Residential (RC) Zone Standards • Improvements to Urban Residential (RC) zone standards. (#6-9) To facilitate more modern style townhouses on narrow lots, new appearance standards have been added, requiring articulation between units and adding flexibility to existing Urban Centre Residential (RC) garage standards. Uotown Commercial (CU) Zone Standards Improvements to Uptown Commercial (CU) Zone Standards (#10-14) Applicable policies: ➢ Policies UD -11(d) and LU-15(a),(b) of the Municipal Plan. ➢ Policy BD -13 of the Secondary Plan. To permit greater flexibility of mixed-use properties outside of existing home occupation provisions, "live -work unit" has been added to the list of permitted uses. Live -work units are ideal within mixed-use zones such as the Uptown Commercial (CU). These provisions enable greater flexibility for mixed use beyond the general provisions for home occupations set out in Section 9.9(2) of the Zoning Bylaw. Urban Design standards are proposed to promote active ground floor uses. These changes reflect best practices in urban design and balance the desire for a cohesive commercial core with the priority around integrating residential density in the core. The Active Ground Floor Use map (Schedule 1) refines where ground floor residential uses are permitted within the Uptown. This approach is more intentional as opposed to the broad brush previously applied to the Uptown Commercial (CU) Zone, permitting flexibility where it is reasonable, applying restriction where necessary, and setting future goals. Waterfront Commercial (CW) Zone and Waterfront Commercial Integrated Development Zone • Housekeeping amendments to the Commercial Waterfront (CW) zone to allow small, interim development and commercial parking lots within the zone. (#15-16) • Applicable policies: ➢ Policy and Proposals U-2 of the Secondary Plan. The Waterfront Commercial (CW) Zone was created as a "placeholder" for large, integrated developments negotiated through a Council rezoning process. This approach has meant the restriction of site preparation activities or interim (temporary) uses that could occur in advance of development. To promote the incremental development of the former Coast Guard Site i.e. Fundy Quay, and other Waterfront Commercial (CW) areas, which was a significant theme in public engagement, a new zone has been drafted to allow for these types of uses. In addition, a Waterfront specific Integrated Development Zone (CWID) was drafted to retain a placeholder zone for Waterfront Commercial (CW) proposals to zone into. Conclusion Adoption of the Central Peninsula Secondary Plan is essential to implementing the Municipal Plan's vision and acting upon the significant public engagement and support received during the robust three year process. This effort is achieved through new policy direction and the Page 6 of 8 179 Central Peninsula Secondary Plan November 22, 2019 implementation of Municipal Plan, Zoning By-law amendments, in addition to implementing the Capital Strategy and Community Action Strategy. Staff recommend the PAC provide a positive recommendation to Common Council for the adoption of the Secondary Plan and associated By-law amendments. ENGAGEMENT Neighbourhood Action Team The Secondary Plan and associated amendments have been developed, vetted and approved by the Neighbourhood Action Team (NAT). The NAT is a 10 -person committee consisting of 7 residents, Ward Councillors Hickey and Reardon, and 1 UptownSJ representative. The NAT has been instrumental over the past two years in promoting the Secondary Plan, attending engagement events, and participating in the development of the Plan. In September 2019, the NAT unanimously recommended Common Council begin the legislative approval process. Community Engagement and Legislated 30 Day Comment Period Community engagement has played an extensive role in plan development. During the Engagement Phase of the Plan, over 1,100 people were engaged and over 2,000 comments were solicited through an online forum, interviews, pop-up events, surveys, and 17 stakeholder meetings. Following release of the Draft Plan, additional engagement was conducted including two open houses and a stakeholder summit. A 30 day comment period was advertised and held from October 8th to November 6th that garnered three letters of support from UptownSJ, ACAP, and DevelopSJ. Public Advertisement The public hearing for the Plan Amendment and Zoning By-law Amendment was advertised on the City website on November 19, 2019 and through the City's social media account. In addition, notices of the public hearing and PAC meeting were circulated to a sign up list of residents who attended community engagement events.

The Secondary Plan is intended to further implement the City's Municipal Plan which is known as Plan SJ ("Plan SJ"), and align and be responsive to the City's recreation, transportation, economic, and population growth strategies. Together, these strategies will guide growth, development, and revitalization efforts in the City's centre for the next 30 years. Following in the footsteps of Plan SJ, the Secondary Plan combines traditional land use planning approaches with community building including social and economic sector aspects. What results is a responsive and representative Secondary Plan rooted in community action. The City has recognized the need to integrate economic development and population growth into their suite of strategic planning documents. The Secondary Plan accomplishes this through its policy and action frameworks, creating a dedicated and well-rounded strategy for the City's core neighbourhoods. The Central Peninsula is comprised of the City's Uptown, South End, and Waterloo Village neighbourhoods. The area is recognized as the City's Primary Centre in Plan SJ. Plan SJ envisions the Central Peninsula as home to the highest intensity of land use and residential density, reflective of it being the historic heart of the City and a vibrant hub for employment, arts and culture, entertainment, and tourism. After decades of population decline and disinvestment, the Central Peninsula is experiencing a renaissance. There is increasing momentum to live, work, and recreate in the heart of the City. Populations in the Uptown Neighbourhood are increasing while neighbouring areas are stabilizing. Construction of new office and new and converted residential development are set to bring more people into the area every day. New restaurants, bars, and entertainment venues have maintained the area as the cultural centre of the City. Public spaces, particularly along the City's waterfront, have become important community focal points and there is increasing interest in realizing their full potential. As the positive momentum continues, there is increasing opportunity for economic and population growth on the Central Peninsula. Underutilized or vacant land is an asset prepared for repositioning and in doing so, creates potential for new housing stock and commercial space. This Secondary Plan provides an opportunity for the community to harness the growing momentum at the centre of the City and create positive transformative change. CENTRAL PENINSULA PLAN 188 LEGISLATIVE BASIS OF THE CENTRAL PENINSULA SECONDARY PLAN The Secondary Plan has been prepared in accordance with the New Brunswick Community Planning Act, SNB 2017, c. 19 (the "CPA"). The CPA empowers the City's Common Council ("Council") to create a secondary municipal plan that applies to a specific area of a municipality. While the Secondary Plan will act as a strategic guiding document for decisions related to development and investment, adoption of a secondary municipal plan does not commit the City or the Government of New Brunswick to undertake any of the policies or proposals in the Secondary Plan. If there is a conflict between plansj and this Secondary Plan, Plan SJ prevails. Plan SJ sets the strategic framework for the creation of secondary municipal plans by articulating the importance of neighbourhood plans as components to the successful implementation of Plan SJ. Plan SJ further recognizes areas in need of direct and intentional treatment through the identification of Neighbourhood Intensification Areas and Priority Neighbourhoods. The Central Peninsula combines the Uptown Primary Centre Intensification Area and South End and Waterloo Village Priority Neighbourhoods into a single geographic planning area allowing for a secondary plan that aligns with the strategic intention of Plan SJ. The Secondary Plan is incorporated into Plan SJ and implemented in the same manner; through the application of policy and regulations found in the City's Zoning By -Law, Heritage Conservation Areas By -Law, and Subdivision By -Law. The Secondary Plan is a living document and will be reviewed and amended where deemed appropriate by Council. FUNDING SOURCES Funding for this project was received from the Federation of Canadian Municipalities, the Province of New Brunswick, and Uptown Saint John, Inc. SEPTEMBER 201 foAFT NEIGHBOURHOOD ACTION TEAM The Neighbourhood Action Team (the "NAT") was pivotal to the preparation of the Secondary Plan. Populated with strong leaders from the community, the NAT acted as ambassadors of the diverse interests in the Central Peninsula. As a citizen -led committee, the NAT supported and advised the preparation of the Secondary Plan, providing direct connection to the positive change occurring in the City's Central Peninsula. The Secondary Plan would not be possible without their unwavering passion for their community. Their countless hours of work are reflected in the pages of this document and the continued positive momentum occurring throughout their neighbourhoods. (GRAPHIC: NAT PHOTO) CENTRAL PENINSULA PLAN 190 1 The Secondary Plan is intended to serve the interests of the individual reader while directing smart growth in the Central Peninsula through thoughtful policy and action. Residents of the Central Peninsula are able to access information about the intended direction of their neighbourhoods while business owners and the development community can seek out opportunities for growth and investment. The Secondary Plan is organized to allow the reader to easily find the information most relevant to their interests or to read the entire document sequentially. CHAPTER 1: THE CENTRAL PENINSULA provides a snapshot of the area's history, geographical context, and demographics. The chapter also explains the planning process, community engagement results, and the overall vision for the Central Peninsula. CHAPTE R 2: NEIGHBOURHOODS AND CORRIDORS OF THE CENTRAL PENINSULA provides description, direction, development concepts, and actions for the Uptown, South End, and Waterloo Village neighbourhoods. The functionality of Main, Union, and Crown Streets, along with City Road are considered and aspirational direction provided. Policies and proposals are offered for each neighbourhood and corridor providing Council with guidance and criteria for their decision making. CHAPTE R 3: BUILDING AND DESIGN IN THE CENTRAL PENINSULA provides the regulatory framework for land use and guides the shape, pattern, height, and configuration of development through clear policy statements. It provides the principles by which development is evaluated and establishes built form direction and clarity. C H A PT E R 4: COMMUNITY ACTION FRAMEWORK provides the structure for action through clear policy statements reflective of the components that build a growing neighbourhood. CHAPTE R 5: IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGY provides a framework for immediate and longterm action. The Secondary Plan is intended to have many users and serves as a guide for the City's administration, residents, and investors. COUNCIL AND CITY STAFF use the Secondary Plan to guide land use and financial decision-making in the Central Peninsula. With a lens to each department's responsibilities, Staff uses the Secondary Plan to guide: • Form and density through zoning, character, and urban design throughout the Central Peninsula; • Street infrastructure upgrades including public realm improvements; • Park, recreation, and event and amenity space maintenance and creation; • Decisions and management of city assets and infrastructure spending; and • Smart growth and to build investor confidence in the Central Peninsula. RESIDENTS AND BUSINESSES OF THE CENTRAL PENINSULA usethe Secondary Plan to understand the vision for the Central Peninsula and how their neighbourhoods will changeover the life of the Secondary Plan. SEPTEMBER 201 fffAFT 10 CITIZEN ACTION AND NON-PROFIT GROUPS use the Secondary Plan to build relationships and synergies between themselves and the City. The Secondary Plan provides these groups with tangible actions required to fulfill the community's vision for their neighbourhoods. DEVELOPERS use the Secondary Plan to understand the type and scale of development anticipated in the different areas of the Central Peninsula. .1. 3 Histoirical Snapshot The Central Peninsula has been shaped by its turbulent past and tenacious spirit. Defining events in the City's past have proven the resilience of the core and molded the heart and spirit of the City and its residents. As we move forward creating our own history, it is important we appreciate the remarkable history that has shaped our built history and our emotional connections to this piece of geography. 11 CENTRAL PENINSULA PLAN 192 Early Development 1700-1900 (1) 1631 Fort Latour The first known permanent European set- tlement ieeetab|ishedotFortLotoucjuet northwest ofthe peninsula.

(14) 2010 - PlanSJ across the City continue, with particular em- phasis on the uptown in terms of growing the city smaller and smarter, with a focus on urbar Plan Area Secondary The Central Peninsula is geographically composed of three neighbourhoods; the Uptown, South End, and Waterloo Village, significant waterfront spaces including the Central Waterfront, South Waterfront, and Long Wharf. Main, Union, and Crown Streets are identified in Plan SJ as Primary Corridors, with City Road identified as a Commercial Corridor and therefore receive specialized treatment in the Secondary Plan. UPTOWN NEIGHBOURHOOD The Uptown Neighbourhood is home to the majority of the offices, restaurants, and nightlife in the City. It is the commercial and entertainment centre of the Greater Saint John Region. It is roughly bound by Water Street to the west, City Road to the north, Sydney Street to the east, and Duke Street to the south. SOUTH END NEIGHBOURHOOD The South End is primarily a residential neighbourhood with mixed-use and local neighbourhood commercial spread throughout. The area South of Broad Street is characterized by low density business park development. It is bound by Water Street to the west, Duke Street to the north, Crown Street to the east, and the South Waterfront to the south. WATERLOO VILLAGE Waterloo Village has a significant mix of residential, commercial, and community spaces and facilities including St. Joseph's Hospital and the Cathedral of Immaculate Conception Roman Catholic Church. It is bound by Main Street to the west, the Saint John Throughway to the north, Crown Street to the east, and Union Street to the south. WATERFRONT SPACES The Central Peninsula has more than 5 kilometres of waterfront primarily characterized by the Port of Saint John (the "Port"), a busy cargo port and important port -of -call on the Canada -New England cruise ship schedule. The Port controls approximately 80% of the Central Peninsula's waterfront spaces including Long Wharf which supports uses beyond port and industrial, creating a home for the Area 506 Music Festival, and other cultural entertainment events. The Central Waterfront includes Fundy Quay, a primarily municipally owned site poised for impactful redevelopment. The South Waterfront includes Tin Can Beach and the former Lantic Sugar Refinery Site. Tin Can Beach has become a favourite access point to the coastline for residents and visitors to the Central Peninsula. PRIMARY & COMMERCIAL CORRIDORS Plan SJ identifies Main, Union, and Crown Streets as Primary Corridors, which are recognized as locations for improved transit, active transportation, investments in streetscaping, public realm and urban design, and selectively intensified land use. City Road is identified in Plan SJ as a Commercial Corridor, which denotes its proximity to the Saint John Throughway and the appropriateness of automobile oriented uses. SEPTEMBER 201 foAFT 14 15 CENTRAL PENINSULA PLAN 196 Populations Trends And Demographics The Central Peninsula has a population of 7,660 which is approximately 11% of the City's population according to the 2016 census. From 2011 to 2016, the Central Peninsula experienced an overall population decrease of 6.2%. Despite the overall decrease, the Uptown Neighbourhood's population increased by over 15%. This increase was due primarily to an influx of young adults aged 20-39. This demographic represents 35% of the Central Peninsula's population. Significant decreases in the population of Waterloo Village, and stabilization of the South End were seen over the same period. As of the 2016 Census, the Central Peninsula had an average population density of 2,387 residents per square kilometer. With increases to the residential housing stock since 2016, the population density of the Central Peninsula and specifically the Uptown Neighbourhood, has increased. The Central Peninsula is the densest area of the City and is therefore positioned to continue to be a walkable urban community I•] 11J AMMO•] I Central Peninsula -8.9°/® Saint John 2 Saint John ii 11 ril 011101111 111YA 0 101 MOML ':: Saint John Central Peninsula &141]G\LI Five] - Saint John Central Peninsula % I Saint John -5.8% Central Peninsula -8.34% Waterloo Village -5.5%1 South End Gil Uptown SEPTEMBER 201 fffAFT 16 i• • SOCIO-ECONOMIC CONDITIONS The Central Peninsula is challenged by intergenerational poverty and unemployment which are exacerbated by the disparity between those who live and those who work in the area. As the regional employment hub, many of the jobs located in the Central Peninsula are held by middle income people living outside of the area. In 2015, 13.8% of children aged 17 and under living in the Central Peninsula were living in poverty. The unemployment rate for the area is 11.8% compared to the City's 6.6%. This places 1 in 10 participants in the labour force out of work. This Secondary Plan aims to foster mixed income neighbourhoods, allowing the quality of life for all residents of the Central Peninsula to improve. Adequate, stable, and appropriate housing is vital to an individual's health and wellbeing. The Central Peninsula is home to some of the City's most cherished heritage buildings with over 61% of the area's housing stock built before 1960. Older construction requires frequent and regular maintenance. It is projected at least 11.75% of the housing stock is in need of major repair. A significant 88.5% of residents on the Central Peninsula are renters with over 61% of residents having moved in the past five years. Ensuring access to and availability of affordable housing options is critical in meeting the needs of the current residents, attracting new residents, and combating issues stemming from low vacancy rates.

As a result, much of the exceptional historic architecture remains intact. The City currently has 770 buildings designated and protected across 11 Heritage Conservation Areas ("HCAs"), 6 of which are located in the Central Peninsula. HCAs are defined and regulated under the Heritage Conservation Areas By-law, the main objective of which is to conserve, rehabilitate, and utilize heritage sites, structures, buildings, areas, and environments for the benefit of the community. These Heritage assets provide the foundation for one of the most dense, walkable urban communities in Atlantic Canada. Red Rose Tea Kung Street Brunswicker 1 Ordinance Gyps SEPTEMBER 201 foAFT 18 VACANT AND UNDERUTILIZED LAND Decades of growth at the edges of the City has led to disinvestment in the core. This has caused an increase in vacant commercial and residential properties that often become progressively derelict until many require demolition. Demolition leaves behind vacant lots that detract from the character of the neighbourhoods and streets, discouraging investment. There are currently almost 300 undeveloped lots in the Central Peninsula, many located in prime, mixed-use areas representative of substantial opportunity. Underutilized lands also represent a significant opportunity in the Central Peninsula, particular those along primary and commercial corridors. These locations house large, single -storey floor plates set within large areas of surface parking typical of a more suburban form. These areas are positioned for increased density long-term. 19 CENTRAL PENINSULA PLAN 200 AMENITIES (GRAPHIC: Image identifying amenities described below) The Central Peninsula has a diverse offering of experiences for both residents and visitors. Music and cultural entertainment at the historic Imperial Theatre, professional sports at Harbour Station, music and food festivals along the waterfront's Harbour Passage trail system, the Canada Games Aquatic Centre, new and established fine dining, Art galleries, and boutique shopping all add to the vibrancy of the City's core. The City's core is home to the "royal" squares, King's and Queen's Square, which provide valuable green space, recreation, and entertainment opportunities. In addition to these traditional spaces, newer assets like Rainbow Park and a revitalized Chown Field provide opportunity for increased play and recreation. These reconceived spaces remain incomplete and, in the case of Chown Field, can be reimagined to better serve the community year round. SEPTEMBER 2012 ffAFT 20 Plan Pirocess Secondary The Secondary Plan is the product of extensive community and stakeholder engagement. The NAT, the Stakeholder Working Group, the Project Steering Committee, and Council's combined effort produced a thoroughly representative document that will guide smart growth in the Central Peninsula for the next 30 years. (GRAPHIC: Plan Process) The Secondary Plan came together over 5 phases between May 2017 and June 2019. The key components of the phased work plan included: PHASE 1: INITIATING DIALOGUE Background research fed into an initial engagement effort, the Launch, held May 24, 2017. Initial stakeholder interviews and the formulation of the NAT occurred over this period. PHASE 2: URBAN ANALYSIS Urban structure and existing neighbourhood conditions were gathered and analysed to aide in the preparation of preliminary concepts and draft policy direction. These preliminary concepts were used to facilitate an intensive community engagement, the Central Peninsula Summit, held July 6th to 8th, 2017. PHASE 3: VISIONING AND SECONDARY PLAN DIRECTIONS Building off the Central Peninsula Summit, direction for Heritage and Urban Design were drafted while concepts were revised and refined culminating in an overall vision for the Central Peninsula. The vision and direction of the Secondary Plan were tested and confirmed through the Public Open House on November 23, 2017. Stakeholder, developer, and property owner engagement continued throughout Phase 3. PHASE 4: SECONDARY PLAN DEVELOPMENT Building off community and stakeholder engagement, and urban and statistical analysis, a draft secondary plan was completed and presented to the public, City Committees, and Council between the months of May and July, 2018. A Stakeholder Summit was held on June 21, 2018 to test the action focused components of the Secondary Plan. Substantial feedback was received throughout this engagement period, leading to important and informed improvements. PHASE 5: FINAL SECONDARY PLAN The final phase of the process involved thorough review by stakeholders including the NAT and the City's Solicitor's Office. Following this review period, the Secondary Plan was presented to the public via the Planning Advisory Committee ("Committee") and Council, allowing the public to voice any concerns. The public comment period stretched over a period of 6 weeks between September and October of 2019 and eventually led to Council adopting the Secondary Plan. 21 CENTRAL PENINSULA PLAN 202 4 Unique and creative engagement styles helped reach over 1100 people between May and October 2017. Digital platforms like the "Taking Shape Saint John" website generated 500 comments from 165 followers. More grassroots and involved engagement like pecha kucha community -led presentations and pop-up engagements at public events generated more than 2000 comments. Dozens of face-to-face interviews with developers, stakeholders, consultants, property owners, youth, and priority neighhourhood groups added to the substantial total of data collected. The engagement data was harvested to determine the community's visions and goals, to create a list of priority action items, and to direct policy ensuring the Secondary Plan is truly representative of the community it serves. SEPTEMBER 2012MAFT 22 ENGAGEMENT RESULTS Throughout the planning process, engagement summary reports were prepared and presented to Council and key stakeholders. The "What We Heard" reports summarized feedback received at three separate stages of the Secondary Plan process. This allowed the public to follow the development and progress of the Secondary Plan while also seeing the emergence of priority themes. After months of engagement, the community was clear on the following priorities: • The need to increase overall public access to the waterfront; • The need to address litter and waste to enhance streets and pedestrian areas; • The importance of protecting Heritage buildings while encouraging new growth; • A desire to improve active transportation and pedestrian infrastructure; • The need for more trees and greening; and • The need to infill vacant lots and address derelict buildings 23 CENTRAL PENINSULA PLAN 204 The Vision seeks to capture opportunity and mitigate challenges in an effort to produce impactful improvements throughout the Central Peninsula. The Vision evolved from extensive consultation with those who use the space; those who live, work, and recreate in the City's core neighbourhoods. It reflects a broadly supported direction for the Greater Saint John Region's centre. As key areas develop and strategic investments are made, the Central Peninsula will evolve as an increasingly vibrant and walkable destination anchored by important community amenities and distinctive streetscapes. Over time, the City will be recognized as a unique offering within the landscape of Canadian cities, allowing the Central Peninsula to serve as a continued source of great community pride for the citizens of the City. The Vision presents an overarching goal for the Secondary Plan and the Central Peninsula as a whole. Guiding principles were developed as strategic steps to achieve the community's vision of the urban core. These principles were designed to ensure the Secondary Plan is reflective of the community's priorities while supporting and directing the implementation of the Secondary Plan over the next 30 years. SEPTEMBER 2012MAFT 24 THE VISION FOR THE CENTRAL PENINSULA The Central Peninsula is the most complete community in Atlantic Canada. Boasting world class Heritage buildings, the community appreciates the past while forging an inspired path into the future with exemplary new architecture. People from around the world are drawn to the dense and walkable urban community that is home to dynamic streetscapes and exciting cultural events. Surrounded by water, the Central Peninsula provides an opportunity to experience the Saint John Harbour through an interconnected active transportation trail system. The Central Peninsula is a vibrant place to live, work, and recreate with an evolving offering of amenities and resources. As the City continues to grow, the Central Peninsula will emerge as the reinvigorated heart of the Region and set itself firmly at the top of places to live in the Maritimes. GUIDING PRINCIPLES 1. To achieve the Vision for the Central Peninsula, the following principles must guide decision making: 2. Reinforce the Central Peninsula as the heart of the City and the Greater Saint John Region. 3. Protect and strengthen the distinctive places and Heritage resources that make the Central Peninsula and Saint John a unique historic city. 4. Create a high quality, pedestrian friendly, and distinctive public realm. 5. Beautify the Central Peninsula and foster civic ownership and pride in our neighbourhoods. 6. Building on the components that make it a complete community, the Central Peninsula will be the catalyst for growth for the City and the Greater Saint John Region. 7. Improve the sustainability of the Central Peninsula through the promotion of active transportation, green design, and support for environmental projects and educational opportunities. 8. Improve public access to the Central Peninsula's waterfront spaces and coastline. 9. Enhance the overall well-being of residents and attract more families and a greater diversity of people to live on the Central Peninsula. 10. Create an environment of enhanced customer service delivery and simplified development processes to support high quality development on the Central Peninsula. 25 CENTRAL PENINSULA PLAN 206 A...'.1.0 Growtha iir The Secondary Plan is an important step in the realization of the growth objectives of Plan SJ. Plan SJ establishes growth targets for the City, anticipating the need to accommodate 10,000 new residents and 13,400 newjobs by 2031. Based on the principles of smart growth, Plan SJ set a new direction for the City, envisioning 45% of new growth occurring within the City's urban intensification areas. With momentum building, there is significant opportunity to accommodate much of this growth in the Central Peninsula. SEPTEMBER 2012 ffAFT 26 The 30 year vision for the Central Peninsula will foster a vibrant urban core with stable and attractive residential neighbourhoods. To achieve this vision, the Central Peninsula must continue to grow its population and economy. For this purpose, the Secondary Plan sets out the ambitious 30 year goal of achieving: 1200 new residential units and 2400 new residents Considering current residential market demand and accounting for a mix of residential housing types, it is forecasted the Central Peninsula can accommodate 1200 new residential units over the 30 year lifespan of the Secondary Plan while maintaining a low vacancy rate. Assuming most new residential units will be home to a minimum of two residents, it is anticipated the population of the Central Peninsula would increase by a minimum of 2400 people by 2049. 350 new businesses and 4,000 additional jobs The Central Peninsula can accommodate a substantial amount of new business within existing office and commercial space. As the area's population grows and cultural shifts lead to more walkable lifestyles, it is expected the business community will be attracted to the increased density and vibrancy of the Central Peninsula. Continued focus on initiatives like the Brick Park Knowledge Cluster, the co -location of Information Technology, Telecommunications, and Creative Industry companies, will lead to steady and sustainable economic growth. $350,000,000 in new tax base An additional 2400 to 3000 residents and 4000 jobs supported by 350 new businesses will result in a substantial increase to the City's tax base. Tax base growth is central to the strength and sustainability of the City and the greater region. 27 CENTRAL PENINSULA PLAN 208 2 Neighbourhoods and Corridors The Central Peninsula is composed of the Uptown, South End, and Waterloo Village Neighbourhoods as well as key corridors including Main, Union, and Crown Streets, and City Road. Each neighbourhood and corridor is defined by their own unique characteristics and distinct sense of place. Accounting for the different forms and functions of these places, the following sections consider each neighbourhood and corridor individually. Each Neighbourhood Plan is composed of the following components: NEIGHBOURHOOD DESCRIPTION Describes the current form and function of each neighbourhood. N E I G H B O U R H O O D D I R E CT 10 N Describes how the Secondary Plan will influence the neighbourhood over the lifespan of the Secondary Plan. D E S 1 G N C H A RA CT E R I ST I CS Describes built form concepts that will contribute to and reinforce the neighbourhoods as distinct places. GROWTH CONCEPTS Describe the catalytic projects and actions needed to transform and reinvigorate the neighbourhood. POLICIES AND PROPOSALS WORK together to convey the intent of Council. The Neighbourhood Plans set out a series of policies and proposals and any development undertaken in the Central Peninsula must not be in conflict with the policies and proposals outlined herein. Policies are broad statements which are established to provide general guidance to Council in the making of planning decisions respecting, generally, what is and is not permissible within the geographic area covered by the Secondary Plan. Proposals further animate policies by providing specific and granular guidance that further informs the application of policies. ACTIONS AND OUTREACH Describes the tangible steps to be undertaken to achieve the neighbourhood direction. SEPTEMBER 2012MAFT 28 29 CENTRAL PENINSULA PLAN 210 The Uptown Neighbouirhood SEPTEMBER 2012 ffAFT 30 The Uptown Core is the heart of the Central Peninsula and the City. This area is anchored by King's Square and the Loyalist Burial Ground to the east and the Central Waterfront to the west. It is connected by King Street, an important and iconic corridor and home to some of the City's most recognizable heritage assets. King's Square is a beautiful and historic space that provides a strong focus for commercial and cultural activity. It also serves as a public gathering space and transit hub, connecting people from across the City to the Uptown Core and beyond. The Uptown Core faces challenges, particularly along King Street as urban renewal - era developments have created a somewhat disconnected street north to south. The internalized mall of Brunswick Square enables pedestrian movement from Market Square to the City Market which reduces the presence of pedestrians on historic King Street. Additionally, large office developments have created a number of blank walls along prominent streets throughout the Uptown Core effecting the pedestrian environment. There are opportunities for strategic infill development around King's Square, the Fundy Quay, and on key parts of the Port's property. Strategic infill development will deliver new mixed-use environments that can add new people, jobs, and vitality to the Uptown Core. There are also opportunities for new institutions to expand the economic and cultural offerings of the Uptown Core and Central Waterfront. At the same time, new and attractive pedestrian oriented destinations and improvements can support urban living. Ne�qhbourhood Direciioii With the highest concentration of employment, the Uptown Core will remain the City's most vibrant, complete neighbourhood. New, mixed-use development will increase population density, adding vibrancy to the streetscape. Continued and enriched Arts and Cultural programming along the Waterfront, historic streets, alleys, and parks and open spaces will enable the Uptown Core to be the primary destination in the region for year-round festivals and events. The redeveloped Fundy Quay site will provide services and amenities, including housing opportunities, while providing residents and visitors with expanded access to the waterfront through an extension of Harbour Passage along the perimeter of the site. King Street will continue to develop as a prominent civic corridor with enhanced street level activity from redeveloped urban renewal -era projects, strengthening the connection between King's Square and Market Square. New infill developments around King's Square and throughout the Trinity Royal Heritage Area will fill gaps along historic streetscapes while complementing heritage elements with modern architectural details. The Uptown Core will feature the City's most interesting and vibrant public realm, with public art, amenities for pedestrians and cyclists, vibrant commercial streets, and pedestrianized streets and lanes. 31 CENTRAL PENINSULA PLAN 212 f esi� i7 Cf aract"e firs • Mid -rise and tall buildings to accommodate full build -out and to capitalize on market and zoning provisions for commercial and residential density. • Prominent heritage buildings to inform new, contemporary built form elements and infill opportunities. • Where appropriate, buildings will incorporate non-residential ground floor uses to maintain and enhance a vibrant, pedestrian -oriented urban environment, animating the public realm. • Street wall heights are regulated through setbacks and stepbacks to maintain a comfortable, human -scaled built environment. • Corner buildings feature well-designed entrances that transition the corner. Existing civic spaces are strengthened to support green space and recreation amenities in the core; new civic spaces along the waterfront will support increased access to the waterfront. • New infill development will feature a mix of uses and high quality design which will maintain and enhance urban form. • A mix of structured and dense, on -street parking to accommodate residents, employees, and visitors. SEPTEMBER 2012 f�AFT 32 Growth Cot oe f°s REINFORCE THE SYMBOLIC HEART OF THE CENTRAL PENINSULA - KING'S SQUARE King's Square is framed by iconic and historic buildings such as the Imperial Theatre, the University of New Brunswick Saint John building, the City Market, the Admiral Beatty, the Court House, and the Irving Oil Limited Home Office. Existing vacant lots and buildings inconsistent with the overall character and quality of the predominant architectural fabric and landscape represent significant redevelopment opportunities. These include 91 King Street, 59 King's Square North and the adjacent parking lot, and the parking lot south of the Royal Bank of Canada. Loyalist Burial Ground, adjacent to King's Square, is a historic site that speaks to the history of the City and provides opportunity for passive recreation. The Golden Ball Building frames the north edge of the burial ground and Union Street. An adjacent parking lot creates a gap in the framing around King's Square, creating potential for transformative development like the installation of educational or cultural institutions. DEVELOP THE CENTRAL WATERFRONT AS A KEY MIXED-USE EDUCATIONAL AND CULTURAL DESTINATION There are numerous opportunities for strategic place -making along the Central Waterfront. The Fundy Quay site is 2.4 hectares with almost 350 meters of water frontage and is primed for development. Port -owned property around Pugsley Slip and the neighbouring sections of Water Street are the entryway for cruise ship visitors, creating substantial opportunities for incremental and impactful improvements for visitors and residents alike. REINFORCE EAST -WEST CONNECTIONS BETWEEN THE TWO CORE ANCHORS - THE CENTRAL WATERFRONT AND KING'S SQUARE King Street is an important corridor that links the Uptown Core's two anchors - King's Square and the Central Waterfront. It is one of the broadest streets on the Central Peninsula, which gives the street a sense of openness and creates potential for civic space. Its prominence should be retained when undertaking streetscape redesign or redevelopment, paying attention to the grade so ample public space is encouraged which will entice people to remain in the space for a time. At the foot of King Street are Loyalist Plaza and the Market Square intersection. Loyalist Plaza is an important public space along the Central Waterfront which could benefit from reinvestment. The plaza is an opportunity for people to engage with the waterfront. Future redesign of the adjacent municipally owned Market Square lands should consider increasing the utility of the area, particularly in the right-of-way at the foot of City Hall, as a place for civic gathering and celebration. There is potential to reimagine King Street as an enhanced pedestrian environment through encouraging better cross -street relationships to the Heritage fabric as well as street -level improvements to Brunswick Square. As an alternative to this approach, building on the recent success of Grannan Lane, a network of east to west pedestrian alleyways through the Trinity Church block would create a novel way of navigating the city in enclosed, urban spaces. 33 CENTRAL PENINSULA PLAN 214 Policies At7d Proposals Council Shall: U-1 Reinforce King Square as the heart of the Central Peninsula Proposals: 1.

With 7.3 hectares of flat asphalt, the area is used by the Port as a laydown area for salt, a temporary terminal for cruise ships, and a docking area for commercial ships among many other uses over the years. More recently, Long Wharf has been optimized for hosting the Area 506 music festival, adding depth to the event offerings in the Central Peninsula. Long Wharf's location on the waterfront and close proximity to the Uptown Core makes it a strategic, long-term infill development opportunity within the Central Peninsula. Ne�qhbourhood Direcfiot7 Long Wharf will be transformed from a vacant waterfront site to a modern, mixed-use neighbourhood, with expansive harbour views and waterfront access. In the future, Long Wharf will feature a mix of office, retail, and entertainment uses in mixed-use, modern developments with residential development intentionally incorporated in the longterm. Waterfront setbacks will maintain access for continued Port operations, primarily Cruise Ship berthing. The area will be connected to the City via Harbour Passage and a new road network via Station Street. Desiqi7 Cf aract"e firs • A dense mix of mid -rise to tall buildings that step down to the waterfront, while maintaining view corridors from Fort Howe. • Contemporary architecture, with a mix of wood, glass and cementitious materials. • Contemporary, mid -rise residential developments feature entrance plazas, setback from the street. • Building setbacks from the waterfront, providing continuous public access to the harbour. • In -building parking structures to support the building's residential uses. • Structured and on -street parking to accommodate visitors and employees. • New civic parks and open spaces to provide amenities to new residents. • A new, pedestrian bridge over Long Wharf Slip connecting the foot of Union Street to Long Wharf. SEPTEMBER 2012 ffAFT 36 Growth Cot oe f°s DEVELOP LONG WHARF AS A NEW MIXED USE NEIGHBOURHOOD EXTENSION TO THE UPTOWN CORE Asa large, underutilized site in close proximity to Uptown Core, Long Wharf is a strategic opportunity for development. Through the long-term, phased redevelopment of the site, the City can foster the creation of a new distinct waterfront neighbourhood adjacent to the Uptown Core. Long Wharf is envisioned as incubating commercial development with residential development introduced as a result of burgeoning commercial activity. At the eastern side of Long Wharf is Long Wharf Slip, which has a mix of natural and hard shoreline. Building on residential development on the Market Square Boardwalk and Robertson's Wharf, the Secondary Plan contemplates mixed use development on either side of the slip, including the redevelopment of the surface parking lot and electrical substation. A pedestrian bridge will cross Long Wharf Slip, creating an access from Union Street, through the Long Wharf site, and connecting to Fort LaTour. A pedestrian bridge across the slip would make Long Wharf more accessible by foot and bicycle to the rest of the Central Peninsula. CREATE NEW OPPORTUNITIES TO EXPERIENCE THE WATERFRONT With almost 700 metres of frontage along Saint John's Inner Harbour, Long Wharf has enormous potential to reconnect the Central Peninsula to its waterfront. Currently, Long Wharf is only accessible to the public during special events, though plans have been established to extend Harbour Passage along the edge of Long Wharf as an interim measure to enhance the public use of the site. The future development of Long Wharf will secure the waterfront for public use, creating new opportunities for passive recreation and gathering. Extending out into the Inner Harbour, Long Wharf offers a unique vantage point of the harbour and the City. There are opportunities to establish lookout points in strategic areas throughout Long Wharf, mimicking the established pattern along Harbour Passage, increasing the site's public use. Such lookout points are suitable locations for public art, commemoration, or historical interpretation. At the east end of the site, Long Wharf Slip is an ideal location for a small -craft marina to introduce recreational boat traffic to the Inner Harbour. A small -craft marina would generate new interest in the waterfront and diversify the Central Peninsula's offering, contributing to the overall vibrancy of the Central Peninsula. The potential popularity of a small -craft marina can be leveraged to help create market demand for residential development on lands surrounding the Long Wharf Slip. Fort LaTour - a designated Provincial Historic Site - lies adjacent to the western boundary of Long Wharf. Work to redevelop the green space to enhance its function as a destination for locals and tourists are underway. The plans include an outdoor amphitheater, the recreation of the historic fort on the site, and an interpretation centre including a public washroom. The redevelopment of Fort LaTour will help to spur the redevelopment of Long Wharf and the extension of Harbour Passage. 37 CENTRAL PENINSULA PLAN 218 MAINTAIN COMPATIBLE MARINE FUNCTIONS ON LONG WHARF While a working waterfront creates challenges for public access, its value to the local, regional, and provincial economy is undeniable. Long Wharf is used intermittently for Port functions, including as a laydown area and for docking commercial ships. The City has emerged as an important port -of -call for cruise ships, with more than 1,000 ships visiting since 1989. When ships are berthed at the Central Waterfront's two cruise terminals, a third ship is able to moor on Long Wharf. Given its proximity to the Uptown Core, passengers are able to enjoy the same amenities as those passengers docked at the Central Waterfront. The cruise industry is an important and growing dimension of City's economy and therefore the redevelopment of Long Wharf should maintain its marine function. The southern edge of Long Wharf can be designed as a hard -surfaced public space which can accommodate cruise ship activity when required. As cruise ships only moor at Long Wharf on occasion, this approach balances the needs of the industry with the public's enjoyment of the site. Temporary fencing or removable bollards can be used to address the security requirements associated with international cruise travel.

SEPTEMBER 2012,PfAFT 40 41 CENTRAL PENINSULA PLAN 222 With more than 5,000 residents, the South End is the Central Peninsula's largest residential neighbourhood and home to most of the area's youth. The neighbourhood is structured around three important civic and community spaces; Queen's Square, Rainbow Park, and St. John the Baptist/King Edward School. Queen's Square is a historic square undergoing significant revival with the addition of the Queen's Square Farmers Market. Rainbow Park has introduced new opportunities for recreation with the popular splash pad and playground. The park is not yet complete but remains incredibly popular and well -used throughout the year. St. John the Baptist/ King Edward School plays a vital role in the South End Neighbourhood, delivering a broad range of programming and social services. While the future of the school is uncertain, the role it plays in fostering community in the South End is undeniable. The South End has many vacant lots and derelict buildings which detract from the character and vitality of streets and the area as a whole. In some places, inappropriate built form and land uses have encroached upon the residential neighbourhood. Improvements to the streetscape are needed to encourage reinvestment and enhance pedestrian conditions and connections. Developing St. James Street as a link between Rainbow Park and St. John the Baptist/King Edward School can act as a driver of private reinvestment in the form of infill development and improvements to existing buildings along the corridor and surrounding areas. Infill development around Queen's Square and Rainbow Park would have a positive impact on the neighbourhood, improving the sense of place and heightening the sense of safety and security of users of these park spaces. Ne�qhbourhood Direcfiot7 As a stable, historic neighbourhood, the South End will retain its primarily residential use. Infill developments along key sites will add appropriately -scaled, urban density. The neighbourhood will be anchored by a new Central Peninsula school, attracting and retaining families in the neighbourhood. Key green spaces, such as Rainbow Park and Queen's Square will be host to formal and informal activities and be framed by new, residential development. Public realm improvements, such as new street trees and renewed sidewalks will promote private investment in existing buildings. The South End will once again boast the highest density in the City. Desiqi7 Cf aract"e firs • Low and mid -rise buildings with minimal setbacks to reinforce the South End as a dense, urban neighbourhood • A dense supply and mix of affordable and market housing to facilitate a mixed -income, family -friendly neighbourhood • Reinforcement of civic spaces, such as Rainbow Park and Queen Square to provide amenities to residents • A new, Central Peninsula school to incorporate recreation amenities and community spaces, creating a new model for urban schools in the Province • Dense, on -street parking to accommodate residents • Streetscape improvements, such as new sidewalks, curbing, and street trees • New infill in Heritage Conservation Areas to complement historic building elements SEPTEMBER 2012MAFT 42 Growth Cot oe f°s REINFORCE THE HISTORIC HEART OF THE SOUTH END — QUEEN'S SQUARE Queen's Square is framed by historic residential buildings, ranging from two to three storeys in height. The existing pattern creates a strong sense of enclosure around the south and east sides of the square. There are several gaps in the built form that detract from the quality and character of the residential pattern and from the overall character of Queen's Square. These include vacant lots and parking lots at the northwest corner, the parking lot at the corner of Charlotte Street and Queen Street, and the vacant lot at Charlotte Street and Queen Square South. Development of these sites would have a high impact on the character of Queen's Square while bringing a new population to the area strengthening Queen's Square as an important civic space in the South End Neighbourhood. ENHANCE RAINBOW PARK AS A VITAL COMMUNITY ASSET Rainbow Park has quickly become an important asset in the South End, providing a place for active recreation and community gathering. The splash pad and community garden are particularly well -used. The vision for the park has evolved and requires further connection with the surrounding neighbourhood. There are several vacant lots around the park which leave gaps in the streetscape. Improvements to lighting, particularly along the paths through the park, are needed to improve the sense of security. Simple improvements and additions to Rainbow Park such as increased trees, an improved standard of landscaping, a new park entrance from St. James Street, and a clear distinction between public and private lands would greatly enhance the park's utility and aesthetic. Using landscaping to better define the edges of the park along Broad Street, Charlotte Street, and Sydney Street in tandem with a new park entrance would give the park a better defined sense of place. REPOSITION ST. JAMES STREET AS A KEY EAST -WEST CORRIDOR AND A FOCUS FOR REINVESTMENT St. James Street runs east -west through the South End, connecting numerous community assets and facilities including St. John the Baptist/King Edward School, the community centre, a nursing home, Rainbow Park, and a range of community and social services. Conditions along St. James Street are substandard. There are numerous vacant lots and derelict buildings, and the street lacks greenery. Public investment along St. James Street can encourage infill development and improvements to the existing housing stock repositioning the street as an important and attractive corridor. 43 CENTRAL PENINSULA PLAN 224 Policies At7d Proposals SE -1 Reinforce Queen Square as the heart of the South End Proposals: 1.

Explore possibilities to improve public transit connections to the South End. 45 CENTRAL PENINSULA PLAN 226 Home to sweeping views across the Inner Harbour and across the Bay of Fundy to Partridge Island, the South Waterfront marks a transition in the South End Neighbourhood's built form. The pattern of streets and blocks thins out approaching the southern tip of the Central Peninsula, making way for large swaths of vacant and underutilized lands including Port lands, the former Lantic Sugar Refinery site, and the Barrack Green Armoury lands. Historically, these lands have been used for military purposes, industrial uses, and as exhibition grounds. While the Armoury is still occupied by the Department of National Defense, the broader area is largely vacant and positioned for increased use. At the very tip of the South Waterfront lies Tin Can Beach, an increasingly important public waterfront amenity. Tin Can Beach is a naturalized urban area popular with local residents as a passive recreation space. Improved connections to established pedestrian networks like Harbour Passage will serve to further solidify the space as a community resource. The Lantic Sugar Refinery site is municipally owned and one of the primary points of public access to the waterfront. Adjacent to industry, Port, and commercial uses, the site is both an exceptional opportunity to create new public open space and a strategic landholding. Efforts to rehabilitate the property as a new City-wide destination will position it to serve an expanded residential base for recreation, outdoor activity, entertainment, and tourism. If, in the future, the Barrack Green Armoury is determined a surplus by the Federal Government it could be acquired and rehabilitated, making it ideal for use as an educational, community, or cultural hub. Partnering with a major institution such as the University of New Brunswick Saint John, New Brunswick Community College, or other community groups would be essential to moving this type of project forward. Redevelopment of the South Waterfront would drive employment and draw people to the South End while better utilizing land. Netqhbourhood f i ectioi The South Waterfront is a new, mixed-use neighbourhood that features large scale civic buildings and open spaces to provide cultural, recreational and educational opportunities to residents, visitors, and employees. Former industrial sites are important green spaces that provide expansive views and access to the inner harbour. Large open spaces provide infrastructure and siting opportunities for large- scale festivals, events and other cultural programming, year round. Connection to the South Waterfront is enhanced by public realm improvements along Sydney, Charlotte, and Broad Streets. Portions of City -owned and Port -owned lands become new residential neighbourhoods, reinforcing and expanding the City's urban grid and built form along Broad Street. Destqi7 Cara t"e firs Low to mid -rise buildings that step down to the South Waterfront with varying setbacks depending on existing and proposed built form. New, large civic buildings that provide education, cultural, and recreation SEPTEMBER 2012:"AFT 46 opportunities for residents, employees and visitors. • New infill, mixed-use development to feature contemporary architecture that takes advantage of expansive views of the inner harbour. • A combination of on -street, surface, and structured parking to accommodate residents, employees and visitors. • Expansive, new civic parks and open spaces along the South Waterfront that provides naturalization of brownfields and public access to the water. • Improved public realm connections to the South Waterfront, including new pedestrian crossings on Broad Street. Growth Cot oe f°s DEVELOP A NEW RECREATION AND ENTERTAINMENT DESTINATION ON THE LANTIC SUGAR REFINERY SITE The 4.5 hectare Lantic Sugar Refinery site is situated at the southern tip of the Central Peninsula. The refinery operated on the site for almost ninety years until its closure in 2000. The refinery and outbuildings were demolished in 2004 and the site has been partially remediated although the lands have remained vacant. The City - owned waterfront parcel has the potential to be a transformative development site for the South Waterfront. Building on the success of Tin Can Beach, the southern half of the Lantic Sugar Refinery site could be naturalized to create new passive recreation opportunities and improve access to the coastline. The northern half of the site can be developed as a flat, paved surface to host concerts and festivals where noise impacts on the nearby residential neighbourhood would be diminished. To the west, there is sufficient land to develop a new commercial or recreational facility. Together, these initiatives would create a new hub on the Central Peninsula, drawing people and activity to the South Waterfront. FACILITATE THE TRANSITION OF THE BARRACK GREEN ARMOURY TO A MAJOR NEW COMMUNITY, ARTS AND CULTURE OR EDUCATION HUB THAT WILL DRIVE EMPLOYMENT To the east of the Lantic Sugar Refinery site is Barrack Green Armoury, an impressive fortress -like structure that overlooks the harbour. This landmark building has been used for military purposes since it was built in 1912, but it has potential to become a major community, Arts and culture, or education hub in the South End Neighbourhood. In the long term, the City could seek an institutional or community partner, to rehabilitate the building, drive employment in the South End, and bring renewed interest to the South Waterfront. In the short term, efforts will be made to introduce community access to the facility and grounds for activities and special events. The grounds of the Armoury site could be redeveloped to deliver new opportunities for active recreation on the Central Peninsula. REINFORCE SYDNEY STREET AND CHARLOTTE STREET AS KEY ENTRYWAYS INTO THE SOUTH WATERFRONT Sydney Street and Charlotte Street provide access to the South Waterfront. These streets are currently lined by low-rise commercial -industrial buildings with large setbacks and large parcels of vacant and underutilized lands. A lack of sidewalks causes poor pedestrian connection. As a low-cost, high -impact initiative, street trees 47 CENTRAL PENINSULA PLAN 228 could be planted and sidewalk conditions improved to help define these streets and create a greater sense of place at the entryway to the South Waterfront. In the long-term, development can be promoted in key locations such as the intersection of Broad Street and Sydney Street and along Lower Cove Loop and Charlotte Street in order to create an entryway, and to screen Port operations. Policies At7d Proposals SW -1 Develop the Lantic Sugar Refinery site as a new recreation and entertainment site Proposals: 1.

Upper Waterloo Village is situated along Waterloo Street with a built form primarily comprised of traditional two and three storey residential -form and commercial buildings and anchored by the iconic Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception. There are gaps in the street pattern along Waterloo Street with numerous vacant lots and derelict buildings. There are also occurrences of more suburban style infill which stands out against the more traditional urban form. Lower Waterloo Village is located along Crown Street and is the result of mid - 20th century urban renewal projects. The area is characterized by large, low-rise commercial uses set within large areas of surface parking. Most of these buildings do not front onto Crown Street. This type of built form, along with the width of the street and the lack of street trees and landscaping, encourages traffic to move at high speeds resulting in a poor pedestrian environment. Chown Field has brought a more flexible recreational space to the Waterloo Village Neighbourhood. Improvements to lighting, landscaping, and the built form around the edges of the park would facilitate a sense of enclosure, improving the overall experience for park users. East of Crown Street, Marsh Creek is undergoing an environmental clean-up program led by ACAP. The area has great potential as a future recreational and ecological interpretation space and tourism asset. ACAP partnered with the Dalhousie School of Planning to undertaken a project aimed at creating a linear park space along Marsh Creek concurrent with the development of the Secondary Plan. On the southern edge of Waterloo Village is Union Street. While the west end of Union Street is narrower and contains many historic structures, the east end of the street is wide and is characterized by parking lots and low-rise buildings set back from the street. Throughout Waterloo Village, there are opportunities for small-scale infill development, as well as larger development opportunities to deliver a range of commercial and housing opportunities. Existing assets such as Chown Field and Marsh Creek can also be completed or improved to encourage private reinvestment and create greater neighbourhood attractions. Ne�qhbourhood Direcfiot7 Anchored within its historical character and natural community assets, Waterloo Village Neighbourhood will retain its position as a priority neighbourhood within the City, functioning as a complete community home to important community service and institutions. Through various forms of development, this neighbourhood will welcome mixed use, commercial, and medium to higher density residential developments, which will conform to traditional built forms found within the area. Infill and larger development opportunities, which provide human -scale beautification and amenities, will also be encouraged to attract further reinvestment and growth to the Waterloo Village neighbourhood. 51 CENTRAL PENINSULA PLAN 232 f esi� i7 Cf aract"e firs • Low to mid -rise buildings to reinstate the traditional urban built form of the Waterloo Village neighbourhood, specifically along the Union Street corridor. • Increased mixed -income residential developments to support the transition to a complete neighbourhood, while mitigating gentrification. • Existing and infill buildings along Union Street, Waterloo Street and Prince Edward Street to retain ground floor active uses and upper floor residential uses. • Civic spaces are reinforced and created to provide amenities for residents, employees and visitors. • Structured and on -street parking to accommodate employees, residents and visitors. • New, large-scale mid -rise residential and institutional uses to incorporate in - building parking. • Health and other instructional buildings feature high quality entry plazas. • Access to a naturalized Marsh Creek provides access to an important civic space, while connecting to areas East of the Central Peninsula. Growth Cot oe f°s REANIMATE PRINCE EDWARD STREET AND ENHANCE CHOWN FIELD AS AN IMPORTANT COMMUNITY ASSET The south side of Prince Edward Street is dominated by the blank fagade of Prince Edward Square Mall. The mall's activities are entirely internalized, leaving the area void of any street life. On the north side of the street, the historic pattern of smaller development parcels is intact, but there are many vacant lots and parking lots. New vitality could be brought to the area through infill development along Prince Edward Street, and the longterm redevelopment of Prince Edward Square Mall to better engage the street. REINFORCE WATERLOO STREET AS THE HISTORIC CORRIDOR OF WATERLOO VILLAGE Despite urban renewal efforts of the mid -20th century, the historic, fine grain pattern of buildings and parcels remains intact along Waterloo Street, matching the urban character of the Uptown and the South End Neighbourhoods. Recent developments along the street, such as the condominium building on the corner of Golding Street, have maintained this height, scale, and rhythm. However, the vacant lots and parking lots detract from the street's overall character. In certain instances, inappropriate suburban style buildings and land uses detract from the more historic urban form of Waterloo Village. Infill development along Waterloo Street and the gradual redevelopment of existing suburban format commercial buildings can reinforce the character of Waterloo Street as the main street of Waterloo Village. Enhancements to the public realm, including streetscape improvements and a small community park could encourage this reinvestment. IN THE LONG-TERM, REDEVELOP CROWN STREET AS AN URBAN MIXED USE NEIGHBOURHOOD WITH MARSH CREEK AS A KEY NEIGHBOURHOOD ASSET SEPTEMBER 2012MAFT 52 Crown Street is a key point of entry into the Central Peninsula from the surrounding region. The street is wide and buildings are set far back within expansive parking lots, encouraging drivers to drive quickly, which results in an uncomfortable and unsafe environment for pedestrians and cyclists. In the short term, public realm improvements will enhance the pedestrian environment, promoting private investment for higher density residential development and large format retail uses, such as a grocery store, to serve the Central Peninsula. In the long-term, Crown Street can be redeveloped as a mixed-use neighbourhood, providing a range of housing, employment, and retail opportunities. New buildings along Crown Street could transform the character of the street and improve pedestrian conditions through creating a stronger relationship to the street, a road diet, and streetscape improvements. Marsh Creek, found to the east of Crown Street, has undergone ecological restoration over the past decades. Working in collaboration with ACAP, Marsh Creek can be enhanced as a new recreational and ecological asset for Waterloo Village and the Central Peninsula. This could include a system of boardwalks through the marsh, providing an opportunity for residents to interact with nature while providing connection to other parts of the City. 53 CENTRAL PENINSULA PLAN 234 Policies At7d Proposals WV -1 Reanimate Prince Edward Street and position Chown Field as an important community resource Proposals: 1.

Complete streets are public streets designed to accommodate all modes of transportation. Move SJ provides a framework to modernize the City's transportation culture. The following sections provide treatments for the corridors of the Central Peninsula to support their functionality as complete streets as guided by Move SJ. Plan SJ identifies Main, Union, and Crown Streets as Primary Corridors. Primary Corridors function as main transportation links between the City's centre and urban intensification areas. These corridors host a myriad of uses supportive of the form and density of the neighbourhoods they connect. Main, Union, and Crown Streets are important to the vitality of the Central Peninsula as they provide the connection between the Uptown, South End, and Waterloo Village Neighbourhoods. Identifying their importance through individualized land use treatments strengthens the connection between neighbourhoods and further capitalizes on opportunities to make these complete streets. City Road is identified in Plan SJ as a Commercial Corridor. Commercial Corridors traditionally function differently than the City's Primary Corridors; they are more automobile focused and characterized by their proximity to the Saint John Throughway. City Road currently operates as a service corridor supporting light industrial uses while also providing pedestrian connection to the North End. There is substantial opportunity to improve the pedestrian and active transportation environment on City Road. Setting a framework for transitioning the area into a Primary Corridor over time would foster a mixed use neighbourhood supportive of the growing Central Peninsula. The following sections articulate how the corridors of the Central Peninsula currently function and also provide direction for their enhancement. A series of policies and proposals provide Council with direction and guidance in realizing the potential of these areas. Each Corridor treatment is composed of the following components: CORRIDOR DESCRIPTION Describesthe currentform and function of each corridor. CORRIDOR DIRECTION Describes how the Secondary Plan will influence the corridor over the lifespan of the Secondary Plan. POLICIES AND PROPOSALS Work together to convey the intent of Council. Each Corridor Treatment sets out a series of policies and proposals and any development undertaken in that area must not be in conflict with the policies and proposals outlined herein. Policies are broad statements which are established to provide general guidance to Council in the making of planning decisions respecting, generally, what is and is not permissible within the geographic area covered by this section. Proposals further animate policies by providing specific and granular guidance that further informs the application of policies. 57 CENTRAL PENINSULA PLAN 238 Main Street between Chesley Drive and St. Patrick Street is a six lane, urban arterial road. Historically the street was a two-lane streetcar and public transit corridor with a dense, urban built form with ample commercial and residential uses. The street connected the North End and Central Peninsula both by transportation and service. 1960s urban renewal realized a large scale neighbourhood demolition and relocation of residents to facilitate the Saint John Throughway (Highway 1) and Harbour Bridge. Today, the corridor features limited residential land uses and is comprised of a business park with Place 400 and Hilyard Place providing employment opportunities in low-rise buildings with ample surface parking. Much of the northern portion of the street is comprised of vacant land. When built, the six lane urban arterial and viaduct into the Central Peninsula was planned to accommodate a population of 300,000 residents, that growth was not realized and current traffic does not warrantthe built infrastructure. The Main Street viaduct is maintained by the Province of New Brunswick, providing challenges in administering and realizing a new vision for the corridor. The corridor provides an opportunity to "right - size" the street infrastructure, while unlocking land for development and reconnecting the North End to the Central Peninsula. Corridor Dfz°ecffot Main Street, east of Chesley Drive is reconfigured into a three lane street, with two travel lanes in each direction and a centre turning lane, with on -street parking and separated, bi-directional cycling lanes. New residential and mixed-use development on the north edge of the street, provides active street life, which is enhanced by public realm improvements, such as street trees, wide sidewalks, and transit and active transportation facilities. The viaduct is transformed from a six lane arterial to a four lane street, with an urban greenway on the eastern side, providing both civic green space and an active transportation link between the Central Peninsula and the North End. SEPTEMBER 2012MAFT 58 Policies At7d Proposals MS -1 Reconfigure Main Street from an urban arterial, six -lane road to a vibrant, mixed use corridor Proposals: 1. Reduce the travel lanes from six lanes to two with a centre turning lane. 2. Seek public and private development along newly access lands. MS -2 Reconfigure Main Street to a complete street with transit and active transportation amenities Proposals: 1. Provide a separated, bi-directional cycling lane along Main Street. 2. Provide on -street parking. 3. Create a transit hub at the intersection of Main Street and Chesley Drive. MS -3 Reposition the viaduct as an urban greenway, re-establishing a connection between the Central Peninsula and the North End. Proposals: 1. Reconfigure the travel lanes on the Main Street viaduct, reducing the lanes to four lanes, two in each direction. 2. Create an urban greenway, complete with active transportation facilities and greenspace along the eastern edge of the Viaduct. 59 CENTRAL PENINSULA PLAN 240 Union Street is an important corridor running west to east along the northern end of the Central Peninsula. West of Waterloo Street, Union Street is a two-lane narrow street with on -street parking and standard 3 metre sidewalks framed by two -to four -storey buildings, many of which are historic. Union Street widens East of Waterloo Street. There are many vacant lots, blank walls, and a mix of tall and low-rise buildings setback from the street and a higher incidence of traffic, as vehicles and busses funnel through from King's Square. These conditions encourage increased traffic speeds and create poor conditions for pedestrians and cyclists. As a result, Union Street acts as a barrier between Waterloo Village and the rest of the Central Peninsula. The significant intersection at Crown Street, Union Street, and the Courtney Bay Causeway is found at the eastern terminus of Union Street. This intersection has high traffic rates, with dedicated right turn lanes, and low density land uses, creating poor public realm conditions at one the Central Peninsula's key gateways. The development of vacant and underutilized lands and the redevelopment of key sites along Union Street would have a transformative impact on the street while creating new commercial and housing opportunities. The experience moving along Union Street should be safe and comfortable for all users. Simple improvements to the public realm such as additional street trees can work to calm traffic and enhance safety. Together, these actions can better integrate Waterloo Village with the rest of the Central Peninsula. Corridor Direollot Union Street will be a complete street, with wide sidewalks, street trees, bike lanes, well -marked crosswalks, creating a safe and comfortable experience for all users. The development of vacant and underutilized lands and key development sites along the corridor will showcase modern architecture, while creating new housing, commercial and cultural uses. Union Street will be a draw for entrepreneurs, artists, and small-scale commercial enterprises, creating a sense of place that is unique to the corridor and aesthetically different from the Uptown Neighbourhood. Union Street will be transformed from an east -west traffic corridor, to a mixed-use neighbourhood with an improved and inviting public realm, reconnecting Waterloo Village to the rest of the peninsula. Policies at7d Proposals US -1 Position Union Street as a connector between the Waterloo SEPTEMBER 2012eAFT 60 Village and Uptown - Neighbourhoods Proposals: 1. Continue to encourage infill and redevelopment of vacant areas along Union Street from Chipman Hill to Crown Street. 2. Enhance pedestrian conditions along Union Street through improvements to the streetscape and public realm. US -3 Position Union Street as a complete street Proposals: 1. Reduce the amount of on -street parking, west of Sydney Street, direct parking to existing surface parking lots, or to local streets. 2. Widen the sidewalk to allow for street furniture such as benches, waste receptacles, bicycle parking, and street trees. 3. Add East/West cycling lanes, preferably physically separated from vehicles. 4. Where appropriate, permit commercial uses above the ground floor of new and redeveloped buildings 5. Where appropriate, encourage the development of mixed-use buildings with non-residential active ground floor uses. 61 CENTRAL PENINSULA PLAN 242 City Road is the northern boundary of the Central Peninsula. It is a vehicular -focused street with four travel lanes extending from Station Street to the west to Haymarket Square to the east. It provides heavy truck traffic with access to the Saint John Throughway and also presents an opportunity for truck drivers to circumvent the dense street grid of the Central Peninsula. Land uses are diverse and incohesive, ranging from a mix of light industrial, commercial, residential, and cultural uses. City Road contributes to a division of the North End's Mount Pleasant area to the Central Peninsula. Currently, a pedestrian crossing exists via Stanley Street; however, a lack of pedestrian amenities along City Road discourages any real or robust connections. Corridor Direcf°i t City Road is an important east -west connector in the City. Through a road diet, City Road is a complete street with separated cycle lanes, improved pedestrian facilities, and two travel lanes with a centre turn lane. Street trees contribute to a renewed and green public realm. Land uses steadily evolve from automobile - oriented uses, to mixed use developments that are positioned closer to the street frontage. As the Central Peninsula grows over time, City Road evolves to accommodate new uses, become the Central Peninsula's newest complete street.

It is heavily trafficked by commuters entering the Central Peninsula from adjacent neighbourhoods and communities. It is currently comprised of two travel lanes in each direction with minimal street trees. The land uses are varied, with medium to high density residential on the western side and commercial and office uses on the eastern side set within large surface parking lots. This section of Crown Street is also the main connection point to Marsh Creek and any future passive recreation opportunities that may develop at the site. Corridor Direct°it Crown Street, North of Union, is a complete street, lined with street trees, improved pedestrian amenities, the road features cycling lanes, transit facilities, three travel lanes with a centre turn lane. Land uses are transitioning to include higher density residential and mixed-use developments. Surface parking is replaced by new development parcels, as higher density development and proximity to transit reduces the demand for large, surface parking lots.

It aligns with the Vision, Guiding Principles, and Growth Targets articulated in Chapter 1 of the Secondary Plan. This chapter enables the design characteristics for each neighbourhood and corridor plan outlined in Chapter 2. Additionally, it seeks to ensure development is consistent with community aspirations by driving density to the City's core while also improving the human scale and pedestrian environment. Plan SJ recognizes the built form character of the Central Peninsula through intentionally directing a concentration of density and more complex and concentrated mix of uses. The following sections provide direction over the form of mixed use developments to ensure quality, compatibility and harmony between commercial, retail, and residential uses. Detailed direction with respect to height, massing, street wall, pedestrian -oriented commercial streets, and transition areas aim to enhance the urban environment well into the future. The Uptown and South End Neighbourhoods are strongly defined by their Heritage assets which provide a distinct sense of place. Direction is provided for infill development within the Heritage Conservation Areas to ensure it is responsive to the vision of the Secondary Plan while respecting heritage values. New infill standards, found in the Heritage Conservation Areas By -Law, were developed in tandem with the Secondary Plan and aim to balance the conservation and preservation of historic buildings with the integration of contemporary building materials and practices, ushering in the next generation of Heritage. This Building and Design Chapter is implemented through performance criteria in the Zoning By-law and the Heritage Conservation Areas By-law. This approach is intentionally flexible and responsive to innovative design interventions and unique site conditions and challenges. The following sections create predictability and clarity in the development review process, while promoting creativity in design, ultimately supporting a quality and enduring urban environment for the region. The goals of the Building and Design chapter are to: • Enhance clarity and predictability of the development review process. • Use design to reinforce the human scale and sense of place. • Drive density to the neighbourhoods of the Central Peninsula to realize the growth targets. • Direct a clear process for Heritage Infill development that is respectful of the past while creating opportunity for new legacy projects. • Recognizing the importance of the Uptown Neighbourhood as the City's Central Business District by ensuring high quality architecture and design elements in new and readapted developments. • Bolster an animated public realm by dictating active ground floor uses in appropriate areas. • Conserve and improve public waterfront access through ensuring development is responsive and contextually appropriate. SEPTEMBER 2012eAFT 66 HOW TO USE THIS CHAPTER COUNCIL, COMMITTEES, AND STAFF use this chapter in combination with the City's Zoning By-law, Heritage Conservation Areas By-law, and Subdivision By-law to guide land use decisions and facilitate development proposals. This chapter provides the principles by which developments are evaluated and establishes built form direction and clarity. DEVELOPERS AND DESIGNERS use this chapter in combination with the City's Zoning By-law, Heritage Conservation Areas By-law, and Subdivision By-law to guide investment and development that is responsive to the community's vision and needs. 67 CENTRAL PENINSULA PLAN 248 1'.1. Built Farm Built form is the human -created space where people live, work, and recreate. The Central Peninsula's built form was determined by a historic development pattern defined by the local topography and proximity to the ocean. Taller buildings, primarily of masonry construction are clustered around the Central Waterfront and the foot of King Street in the Uptown Neighbourhood, serving as the City's Central Business District. The development pattern shifts as it moves to higher ground and towards Waterloo Village and the South End, where masonry transitions to wood construction and residential land uses prevail. The intent of the Secondary Plan is to ensure the traditional built form character in the heart of the City is respected and strengthened through new and exciting developments. Council Shall: BD -1 Ensure development is consistent with and respects the established historic block and street grid pattern that defines the built character of the Central Peninsula. BD -2 Protect public views to the water along key public streets and open spaces. SEPTEMBER 20124D�AFT 68 The Central Peninsula's built form ranges from two-storey historic residential dwellings to office towers greater than 10 storeys. The height framework to regulate development within the Central Peninsula is established in the Zoning By-law as an overlay map. Appropriate height was determined based on location, adjacent buildings, and the context and character of distinct areas and streets. In accordance with building typologies, taller buildings may step back or respond to neighbouring buildings depending on the height. The Central Peninsula Building Height map allocates height where it currently exists, where it can be supported sensitively within the context of a neighbourhood, and where it can be used to create a sense of enclosure around public parks. Council Shall: BD -3 Establish specific provisions in the Zoning Bylaw to regulate the maximum height of development within the Central Peninsula to ensure clarity and predictability for investors, while ensuring future development is sensitive to the neighbourhood context. These provisions shall allow for minor variances in height in accordance with parameters in the Zoning Bylaw. BD -4 Consider proposals for development that exceed the Zoning Bylaw provisions for height on the Central Peninsula through an amendment to the Zoning Bylaw. In evaluating such proposals consideration shall be given to the following criteria: a) The proposed height variance does not negatively impact pedestrian street conditions and sun exposure and wind impacts are considered through the design. b) That the proposal does not adversely impact the character of the City's Heritage Conservation areas; c) The general intent and purpose of Plan SJ, this Secondary Plan, and supporting Bylaws is maintained. BD -5 Direct new tall buildings to areas where height currently exists, where height can be accommodated seamlessly, or where height is insulated from existing neighbourhoods due to topography or other site conditions. IMPLEMENTATION: Height is implemented through the Zoning By-law through specific provisions to regulate height in the Central Peninsula including a Central Peninsula Building Height Map. 69 CENTRAL PENINSULA PLAN 250 Bonus Zoning By-laws were introduced as anew planning tool in the CPA in 2017. This tool has been used successfully in jurisdictions throughout Canada to extract public benefit from larger -scale developments. In exchange for added density through the provision of extra storey height, the public receives public amenity such as park space or Public Art. Considerations are made in this section and in the Community Action Strategy to consider a Bonus Zoning By-law as a future project. Council Shall: BD -6 Explore the adoption and future use of a Bonus Zoning By-law to provide public benefits where building height exceeds the standard provided through the Central Peninsula Building Height Map found in the Zoning By-law. SEPTEMBER 2012 ffAFT 70 33 Building Envelope And g Building envelopes establish the massing of new developments within the Central Peninsula. In accordance with the building typology, buildings may step back or respond to neighbouring buildings depending on the height. Further, the following building typologies introduce new standards and guidelines: townhouses, low-rise buildings, mid -rise buildings, and tall buildings are implemented through the Zoning By-law. Council Shall: BD -7 Ensure the massing of buildings considers and protects the pedestrian street level experience, including sky views and sunlight penetration to the street while minimize wind. BD -8 Provide transitions in scale to Heritage Conservation Areas, low-rise residential areas, and the waterfront. IMPLEMENTATION: Standards for massing and stepbacks, and separation distances of buildings are provided in the Zoning By-law. In Heritage Conservation Areas, design considerations for massing are provided through the Heritage Conservation Areas By-law. 71 CENTRAL PENINSULA PLAN 252 3A StreetWall The street wall is an important feature of dense urban environments. It is created through the orientation and placement of front building facades on or close to the street boundary, thereby defining the character of the public realm and creating enclosure for pedestrians. In commercial and most residential areas of the Central Peninsula, streets are framed by buildings uniformly placed along a public street with no setbacks. Averaging three to five storeys, prominent street walls are located in the Uptown Neighbourhood, specifically in the Trinity Royal Heritage Conservation Area, along King, Prince William, and Germain Streets. These prominent street walls are protected and regulated under the Street wall Height map found in the Zoning By-law, which provides a maximum street wall height. From time to time, developments may seek an increase to the street wall in this area, which would require an amendment to the Street Wall Height Map. Criteria for this increase is provided below. In other areas of the Central Peninsula, the street wall is regulated through height and stepbacks, which are regulated in the above sections. Council Shall: BD- 9 Establish provisions in the Zoning By-law to regulate street wall heights in the Central Peninsula to ensure human scale pedestrian oriented streetscapes. Context specific provisions will be established for the Trinity Royal Heritage Conservation Area through the Street Wall Height Map in the Zoning By-law. These provisions shall allow for minor variances in height in accordance with parameters in the Zoning Bylaw. BD -10 Consider proposals for development that exceed the Zoning Bylaw provisions for Street wall height in the Trinity Royal Heritage Conservation Area through an amendment to the Zoning By-law. In evaluating such proposals consideration shall be given to the following criteria: a) The proposed increase to the height of the street wall does not negatively impact pedestrian street conditions and sun exposure and wind impacts are considered through design. b) That the proposal does not adversely impact the character of the City's Heritage Conservation areas, c) The general intent and purpose of the Municipal Plan, this Secondary Plan and supporting By-laws is maintained. BD -11 Outside of the Trinity Royal Heritage Conservation Area, ensure street wall heights maintain a comfortable, human scaled street enclosure, generally a maximum of five storeys in commercial areas and two SEPTEMBER 2012MAFT 72 storeys in residential neighbourhoods. IMPLEMENTATION: Maximum street wall heights are set out in the Central Peninsula Street Wall Height Map in the Zoning By-law. 73 CENTRAL PENINSULA PLAN 254 1 Setbacks Building setbacks reinforce the existing character of the Central Peninsula by establishing a pattern of each block face. The pattern at which buildings are setback from the right-of-way contributes to the pedestrian experience and built form character of a neighbourhood. In the dense residential fabric of the Central Peninsula, it is expected new developments be responsive to the neighbourhood context while continuing the setback pattern of the block face. Council Shall: BD -12 Establish provisions in the Zoning By-law to ensure the street wall of new development continue the prevailing setback pattern of the block face. IMPLEMENTATION: Setbacks are set out in the zone standards within the Zoning By-law. SEPTEMBER 2012_"AFT 74 This Secondary Plan encourages active ground floor uses on primary commercial streets in the Uptown Neighbhourhood through provisions in the Zoning By-law. Within designated Uptown Neighbourhood streets, non-residential ground floor uses reinforce and preserve a strong commercial core together with residential uses on the upper floors. The Uptown Core possesses many existing storefront facades that help animate the sidewalk and create pedestrian -oriented streets. The Secondary Plan supports a more targeted approach to fostering pedestrian -oriented streets. Council Shall: BD -13 Designate primary commercial corridors in the Zoning By-law where non- residential uses will be encouraged at the ground floor in order to foster vibrant and pedestrian oriented commercial streetscapes. Establish provisions in the Zoning By-law to allow flexibility in considering residential uses in designated commercial corridors where appropriate. IMPLEMENTATION: Requirements for non-residential ground floor uses along commercial corridors are set out in the Uptown Commercial Zone of the Zoning By-law. 75 CENTRAL PENINSULA PLAN 256 17 Heritage -iiII Heritage buildings are the foundation of the City's unique and recognizable built character. The Heritage Infill Standards found in the Heritage Conservation Areas By-law facilitate new construction and additions to existing buildings. The approach to heritage in the Central Peninsula is responsive to the community's request for a more flexible approach and desire for a clear and predictable approval process. The Heritage approval process for infill development will focus on the design of infill development to ensure it is contextually appropriate rather than height and massing of development which will be regulated through the Zoning By-law. A range of infill development from traditional to modern architecture will be considered through a tiered application process approach. The requirement for detailed analysis increases with more contemporary design to ensure quality and appropriateness to the surrounding context. This approach allows the Central Peninsula's built heritage to progress while respecting our past. Council shall: BD -14 Encourage well designed contemporary infill development within the Central Peninsula's Heritage Conservation Areas through a tiered design review approach supported by Plan SJ and the Heritage Conservation Areas By-law. BD -15 Strive to infill streetscapes while enhancing heritage character through compatibly scaled and designed developments. BD -16 Protect the community value of built heritage through administering the infill development process outlined in the Heritage Conservation Areas By-law ensuring development is compatible with the existing character of heritage areas while providing flexibility for high quality, modern architecture. IMPLEMENTATION: Heritage development is facilitated through the Heritage Officer and the Heritage Development Board. The Heritage Infill Standards apply to all infill and major additions in the Heritage Conservation Areas, and are administered through the Heritage Conservation Areas By -Law. SEPTEMBER 2012 ffAFT 76 18 Urba ign and I 'iiRealm �Design Guidelines Urban Design addresses the relationship between buildings, streets, and public spaces. The interplay of these elements and how they affect the physical environment contributes to the overall sense of a place. This is particularly important in the Uptown Neighbourhood, where a high quality pedestrian experience is desirable. The public realm is the space in a city that is shared by the community. It is composed of streets, parks, landscapes, civic buildings, and other publicly owned and accessible land. The practical function of the public realm is defining blocks, allowing access and servicing, and providing public amenity adjacent to private development. The policies in this section direct the creation of urban design and public realm guidelines specific to the Central Peninsula and provide direction and context for their future use. The CPA does not currently provide a complete framework for design review processes. Design review and site plan approval processes are used to facilitate efficient development approvals. They allow for robust review to ensure development is contextually appropriate and contributes to a high quality public realm. The City's approach to urban design will evolve as the legislative framework becomes available. Council shall: i#Ji@►I Adopt Central Peninsula Urban Design and Public Realm Guidelines to build awareness and encourage design excellence in the redevelopment of streetscapes on the Central Peninsula and to create high-quality, targeted public space improvements. BD -18 Upon adoption of the Central Peninsula Urban Design Manual Guidelines, use the guidelines when considering discretionary development on the Central Peninsula and as a strategic framework for decisions involving or impacting: street character, the public right-of-way, transit and active transportation, views, and parks on the Central Peninsula. BD -19 Upon improvements to the CPA enabling Design Review and Site Plan Approval processes, Council will consider amendments to enable the creation of an Urban Design Review Committee and appropriate processes throughout the Central Peninsula, prioritizing the Uptown Neighbourhood. 77 CENTRAL PENINSULA PLAN 258 SEPTEMBER 2012MAFT 78 4 .... 0 Community Action Framework The Community Action Framework provides the structure for action on the Central Peninsula. This is accomplished through a structured set of policies applicable throughout the City's core and through the creation of the Central Peninsula Community Action Strategy, a partner document of the Secondary Plan. Together they provide direction for the City, stakeholders, and the community to achieve the community's vision for an exciting and inclusive mixed -income community. The Community Action Framework is organized into themes reflective of the components that build a growing neighbourhood: There is substantial potential for population, employment, and tax base growth on the Central Peninsula. Markets for commercial and residential development are stronger than they have been in decades thanks to the rapid growth of the Uptown Neighbourhood while vacant and underutilized lands present a great opportunity for increased density and intensification. Additionally, the City's Heritage and historic building stock provides ample opportunity for programs that support creative reuse thereby supporting the information technology sector, start-up enterprises, and other knowledge-based industries. The Secondary Plan supports growth and development through guiding and encouraging decisions that prioritize: • Accelerating Property Development • Marketing the Central Peninsula • Strategic Asset & Sector Development To achieve sustainable growth focused on the priorities list above, Council shall: CP -1 Ensure any new infrastructure investment strategies for the Central Peninsula and the City are planned to maximize opportunities for urban development and address the future infrastructure needs for development in the Central Peninsula. CP -3 Evaluate opportunities to ease regulations and reduce development costs for adaptive reuse projects through amendments to the Zoning By-law and the Alternative Solutions Process of the Building By-law. CP -4 Evaluate the use of processes such as property assembly and 79 CENTRAL PENINSULA PLAN 260 expropriation of vacant property to accelerate development on the Central Peninsula. CP -5 Ensure reinvestment in economic assets and public spaces that support major events in the Central Peninsula. CP -6 Evaluate new opportunities and markets to advertise the urban lifestyle opportunities offered by the Central Peninsula. CP -7 Use the Development Incentives Program to encourage growth and achieve the design objectives of the Central Peninsula Urban Design Guidelines. SEPTEMBER 2012 ffAFT 80 '' t Vibirant Arts and Culture forms the identity and experience of a community. The City's celebrated Arts community has found venues, both domestic and foreign, to showcase its creativity for over a century. There are over a dozen galleries in the Central Peninsula contributing to the vibrancy of the core while bolstering a robust creative scene. The success of the Arts has supported the creation of new and exciting events ranging from music festivals and outdoor markets, to street parties and outdoor art installations. The Secondary Plan supports Arts and Culture through ensuring decisions are focused on: • Events and Festivals • Animation of Public Spaces • Youth • Inclusion • Arts Planning To ensure a robust and supportive environment for Arts and Culture, Council shall: CV -1 Encourage and support the Community Arts Board and their community partners in identifying and addressing key gaps in the Arts, Culture and events offerings of the Central Peninsula. CV -2 Identify priorities for the type and location of public art within the Central Peninsula ensuring placement of public art contributes to the enhancement of public spaces or act as a catalyst for the revitalization of spaces in need of reinvestment. CV -3 Encourage and support the inclusion of members of the Abilities Advisory Committee in the planning of festivals and events. CV -4 Support the development of a Youth Arts, Culture, and Events advisory group to encourage and support the organization of events and entertainment for Youth. CV -5 Ensure barrier -free principles are considered in the planning of event spaces. CV -6 Encourage the establishment of festivals and events that celebrate and recognize the growing number of Cultures represented in the City. 81 CENTRAL PENINSULA PLAN 262 43 Safety And Cleanliness Beautiful neighbourhoods are places we all want to call home. They are places where civic pride is evident through the quality maintenance of properties and public spaces. City Beautiful focuses on the remediation of blighted areas and instilling a sense of pride and place within the neighbourhoods. The Central Peninsula will be beatified by building actions around the following priorities: • Improving urban living opportunities • Public safety • Active and Engaging Public Realm • Ageing Infrastructure • Enhance Functional Features of the Public Realm • A Pedestrian Focused Waterfront To build and sustain safe and clean neighbourhoods, Council shall: CB -1 Ensure strong connections are maintained between Central Peninsula community organizations and the Saint John Police Commission's Community Policing initiative. CB -2 Evaluate the need for new infrastructure like lighting and signage to enhance public safety in municipal parks. CB -3 Encourage and work with local educational institutions to expand or establish training programs to produce the skilled trades required to fulfill the continued conservation of Saint John's built heritage. CB -4 Continue to work with the Government of New Brunswick on legislative reform that would allow for enhanced administration of urban design principles and processes. CB -5 Explore public use and private sector encroachment into the public right-of-way and identify opportunity streets to pursue this shared streets model. CB -6 Undertake infrastructure improvements to enhance a shared streets model when existing infrastructure reaches the end of its life cycle. CB -7 Encourage the piloting of permanent or seasonal pedestrian streets. CB -8 Consider accessibility and mobility when undertaking work in the right-of-way. SEPTEMBER 20126rlAFT 82 4A Communit Wel[ �Being G There are many components which contribute to a strong, healthy community. Community well-being brings together access to housing and food, social inclusion, and community services. Ensuring the well-being of all residents in the Central Peninsula, regardless of age, income, or ability equates to a healthy and productive community. While many of the components of community well-being are provincial responsibilities, it is the City's responsibility to create a built environment that is conducive to fostering the mental, physical, and social well-being for its residents. This can be accomplished through focusing on the following priorities: • Housing • Educational Services • Food Security • Community Partners To ensure a Central Peninsula that is welcoming and supportive of all, Council shall: CL -1 Encourage and support the development of high quality, affordable housing that is designed to be integrated into the distinct neighbourhoods located within the Central Peninsula with the intent of fostering strong, mixed -income neighbourhoods CL -2 Work with the Government of New Brunswick to ensure the development of a new school maximizes the impact on the revitalization of Central Peninsula neighbourhoods by: • Coordinating neighbourhood recreational and playground facilities with the new school; • Providing support in identifying a location for the new school which adequately serves local residents and increases both neighbourhood pride and profile; • Providing support for the design process to ensure the design of the new school positively contributes to the local context and introduces new innovative educational design practices to New Brunswick; and • Encouraging the Province of New Brunswick to ensure the development of a new school incorporates the additional community facilities required to meet the unique circumstances of the Central Peninsula. CL -3 Increase food security on the Central Peninsula by: Supporting a Community Food Centre or other similar program; Working with national grocery store chains to understand the market requirements and advocate for an urban format grocery store; and Ensuring strategic direction for the City Market includes strategies for retaining fresh food vendors. 83 CENTRAL PENINSULA PLAN 264 4.5 Enviironment & Sustainability A green city is one where environmentally sustainable practices contribute to the beautification of the public realm and improvements to the quality of life of residents. Incorporating green, sustainable infrastructure into new developments and upgrading existing infrastructure are important steps in creating a community which minimizes the impact on the environment and improves the appeal of life in the Central Peninsula. Ensuring the full potential of existing parks and open spaces is realized is also an important component of fostering healthy, complete neighbourhoods. Experimenting with pocket parks, mobile parks, and parkettes will be an essential part of the effort to bring the natural environment to residents. Initiatives like these can animate neighbourhoods in new and unexpected ways, leading to new perceptions of neighbourhoods that can spark positive growth and change. An environmentally sustainable Central Peninsula will be achieved by focused action on the following priorities: • A green public realm; • Climate change adaptation; and • Green placemaking. To ensure the Central Peninsula's neighbourhoods are environmentally sustainable and green, Council shall: CG -1 Incorporate low maintenance grass alternatives such as clover and other plant species, in street design where possible. CG -2 Encourage the development of rain gardens in the Central Peninsula to reduce storm water runoff to municipal infrastructure. CG -3 Encourage the greening of rooftops for new development and redevelopment projects. CG -4 Adapt land use and development regulations to mitigate the long term potential impacts of sea level rise based on future Climate Change Adaption Plans. CG -5 Encourage and support increased community-based recreational programming in public spaces within the Central Peninsula. SEPTEMBER 2012MAFT 84 6 Tra ta . A III III i A III City Connected refers to the role transportation networks play in keeping our city moving. They are our passageways to getting from place to place in a safe, sustainable, and efficient manner. As evidence mounts that the dominance of the automobile is unsustainable, alternative modes of transportation are becoming increasingly important. Plan SJ encourages the consideration of more sustainable modes of transportation including walking, cycling, and public transit as these options have a reduced ecological impact, promote good health, and contribute to a more interesting public realm. Recognizing the need for connectivity to adjacent neighbourhoods and major community assets like Rockwood Park are important links in a successful transportation network. Enhanced mobility and connectivity for all forms of transportation moving in and throughout the Central Peninsula are supported through decisions which prioritize: • Active Transportation • Places and Infrastructure • Public Transit • Parking To ensure the longevity of Central Peninsula's transportation network, Council shall: CC -1 Encourage the development of a Central Peninsula focused cycling and active transportation network in coordination with the City's transportation master plan, MoveSJ. CC -2 Ensure pedestrian snow plowing routes consider key pedestrian connections through alignment with the City's transportation master plan, Move SJ. CC -3 Seek opportunities to improve active transportation links from the Uptown Neighbourhood to the tower West Side. CC -4 Evaluate options for a traffic calming policy to address areas such as Garden Street and Paddock Street. CC -5 Improve public transit connections between the Central Peninsula and municipal parks. CC -6 Ensure efficient service to the Uptown Neighbourhood and designate key transit corridors along the Central Peninsula that can support higher density development. CC -7 Where opportunities exist, divest of surplus parking lots for the purposes of encouraging infill development. CC -8 Monitor and evaluate the development of new technologies such as driverless and electric cars to assess their impact on the transportation network. As technology evolves and new ways of 85 CENTRAL PENINSULA PLAN 266 traveling become prevalent, adapt transportation and land use policies. CC -10 Consider the elimination of required parking stalls to lots in the Uptown Parking Exemption area through amendments to the Zoning By- law. SEPTEMBER 2012 ffAFT 86 5.0 Implementation Successful implementation of the Secondary Plan requires purposeful and focused action. It will involve the mobilization and coordination of government, stakeholders and community leaders to directly confront challenges, leverage assets, and to carry through the project's momentum. This chapter establishes an implementation strategy which balances the aggressive and aspirational vision for the Central Peninsula, while recognizing the need to prioritize high impact initiatives which are achievable in the near term. This includes a policy framework to create the structure and programs required to implement the Secondary Plan and a 5 year work plan to guide the initiatives of the City and its community partners. 5,.'..1 Implementation Firamewark The implementation framework is intended to guide structural change, programming, and regulatory updates which are critical to the successful implementation of the Secondary Plan. Council Shall: IS -1 Recognize the Secondary Plan as the primary document for guiding growth, development, and investment within the Central Peninsula and shall adopt this document as a secondary municipal plan. IS -2 Establish a working group comprised of City representatives, key stakeholders, and members of the NAT to oversee and champion the implementation of the Secondary Plan. IS -3 Establish procedures and criteria to ensure the implementation of the Secondary Plan is used in decision making for the City's operating and capital budgets, as well as corporate strategic planning. IS -5 Ensure the 5 Year Work Plan Implementation Table in Figure X is used as a guide to implement the Secondary Plan. IS -6 Require annual progress updates on the implementation status of the Secondary Plan over the first 5 years of the Secondary Plan implementation. IS -7 Conduct a 5 year preliminary review of the 5 Year Work Plan considering: a) Amendments and updates to the performance indicators; and b) Inclusion of new action items and removal of complete items. 87 CENTRAL PENINSULA PLAN 268 IS -8 Conduct a ten year comprehensive review of the Secondary Plan to consider: a) Any amendments to the Secondary Plan; b) Evaluation of the implementation progress; c) Monitoring and adjustment of the growth targets and performance measures as set out in the Secondary Plan. SEPTEMBER 20120AFT 88 The 5 Year Work Plan is an action -based list of projects led by the City or its agencies. These projects may be funded through the City's operating budget, capital budget, or external budget sources. A five year horizon was chosen to concentrate on the immediate delivery of tangible actions with the understanding that projects beyond 2025 will require reassessment of scope. Capital investment timelines are more challenging to predict. The 5 year Work Plan recognizes the need for a range of small to large projects prioritized through the lens of community need and whether they add value. Key future investment priorities for the Central Peninsula include: • Investment in existing roads, sidewalks, and underground infrastructure; • Upgrading of key public spaces and streetscapes as identified in the Secondary Plan; and • Enhancements to active transportation networks and pedestrian mobility. 53 The C f� if 1 % p The Central Peninsula Community Action Strategy is a partner document of the Secondary Plan. It is a guide for community led actions that address the economy, Arts and Culture, transportation, housing, parks, and the many other facets which contribute to daily life and experience on the Central Peninsula. The strategy was built with the NAT using the information received during community engagement events throughout the Secondary Plan process. The NAT provided the direct and consistent connection back to the community throughout the process, ensuring the strategy aligned with the vision for the Central Peninsula while respecting the changing needs and priorities in the area. The Community Action Strategy is intended to be owned by the community and link together existing organizations and agencies to the goals and objectives of the Secondary Plan. It is a document of grassroots initiatives built and implemented with the community, placing the City in the role of community partner. The following section sets the framework for the strategy ensuring future actions align with the guiding principles of the Secondary Plan. Council Shall: IS 9 Adopt, by resolution, the Central Peninsula Community Action Strategy in coordination with the final adoption of the Secondary Plan. 89 CENTRAL PENINSULA PLAN 270 ,,,, IIIA IIIc �� Exteirnal Agencies The Secondary Plan will require a strategic approach with other levels of government and external agencies to successfully foster Secondary Plan policies that are beyond the authority of the City. Ongoing collaboration is needed within areas such as affordable housing, a new school on the Central Peninsula, air quality, climate change, provincial roads and highways, and use of Port and Federally owned lands. Plan SJ set the direction for Council to work with the Government of New Brunswick, Government of Canada and external agencies to realize elements beyond the City's jurisdiction. The Secondary Plan continues to aspire to this collaborative approach. Council Shall: IS 10 Encourage the Government of New Brunswick to evaluate potential improvements to the pedestrian overpass to the North End to enhance the pedestrian experience. IS 11 Encourage the Government of New Brunswick to evaluate short- term enhancements to the Route 1 overpass infrastructure to add basic facilities such as crosswalks and pedestrian crossing lights. IS 12 Encourage the Government of New Brunswick to develop a short- term strategy to convert the two outside lanes of Main Street to active transportation lanes, with a long term vision of implementing a road diet and redeveloping Main Street as a mixed use corridor. IS 13 Encourage the Government of New Brunswick to evaluate options to enhance active transportation infrastructure along the Somerset and Rockwood Park Overpasses as well as the Causeway connecting to the east side. IS 14 Encourage the Province of New Brunswick, University of New Brunswick, and the New Brunswick Community College to establish a joint Information and Communications Technology Centre to collaborate with the Brick Park knowledge cluster and to connect businesses with emerging ICT graduates. IS 15 Encourage Federal and Provincial government departments to locate offices and facilities in the Central Peninsula. IS 16 Promote the expansion of St. Joseph's Health Care Services Cluster. IS 17 Work with the Port to enhance the use of cruise ship terminal areas and their relationship to the public right of way. IS 18 Work with the Port to enhance access to the waterfront and to identify design solutions to maintain safety while increasing the attractiveness of the waterfront. IS 19 Encourage and support Federal and Provincial government programs which offer mobility and choice to recipients of affordable SEPTEMBER 2012p fAFT 90 housing supplements. IS 20 Work with community partners, housing agencies, and Provincial and Federal Governments to develop an affordable housing strategy for the Central Peninsula which ensures the Central Peninsula remains a place that is attainable for residents of a diverse income background IS 21 Advocate for enhanced Provincial and Federal government funding, services, and programs to address the needs of homeless populations. IS 22 Work with the Provincial Government to ensure the development of a new school maximizes the impact on the revitalization of Central Peninsula. IS 23 Work with the Province's air quality monitoring program to promote clean air targets. One of the foundational goals of the Secondary Plan is to drive growth and density into the City's core, increasing the City's tax base, population, and employment numbers. As the Secondary Plan is implemented, we are able to measure its influence and success against the targets established in the Growth Goals.

Reid, Andy (Planning) To: Melanson, Ken; Burgess, Aimee Subject: RE: Central Peninsula Secondary Plan From: Nick Cameronmailto.:nick(culturehuk� ca ......................................_. Sent: November 25, 2019 11:50 PM To: onestop <o e t p..L@sai.ntj.crh.n.ca> Subject: Central Peninsula Secondary Plan To the Planning Advisory Committee, I am writing to voice my support for the Central Peninsula Neighbourhood Plan, with one recommendation for improvement. I live in the south end and believe strongly in the positive impact active transportation improvements could have in this neighbourhood. There is a lot to like in the Central Peninsula Plan for residents that share this aspiration. I only wish the importance of Water Street and Loyalist Plaza for active transportation was more clearly emphasized. In retrospect, Water Street should have been treated as a primary corridor in the plan. I bike commute mostly from the south end to the west side and north end. I have had the most close -calls on Water Street, even more than Simms Corner. It's a wide straight road that encourages high speed. Furthermore, Harbour Passage changes from a multi -use path along Long Wharf to a sidewalk at Water Street, forcing bikes to the road. Biking on the sidewalk is illegal in New Brunswick. As implementation of the plan moves forward, I ask that the Planning Advisory Committee and Common Council consider these concerns when reviewing any development or improvements at Water Street and Loyalist Plaza, much like the corridors defined in the plan. Thank you for your consideration. Staff should be commended on this plan. It has a lot to get excited about. I look forward to the adoption and implementation. Sincerely, Nick Cameron 12 Harding Street Saint John, NB E2L 1T6 GREATER SANT JOHN December 6, 2019 Re- Saint John Central Peninsula Plan To Whom it May Concern!: Economic Development Greater Saint John is pleased to demonstrate our full support for the Central Peninsula Plan process and draft plan. We believe that the Plan put forward by the City of Saint John will support the growth of the City of Saint John and benefit the region as a whole by creating a vibrant and l,iveable uptown. More and more, community economic development is tied to a community's ability to attract and retain people. It is projects such as this that demonstrate community progression and leadership. This City has growth as a priority and we endorse and: encourage support for this initiative and the partnerships and impact that can be realized from it. Most sincerely, Ron 0.

I do not use public transportation, and while i could use it, since i have the car, it's it more cost effective for me to use the car over the public transportation, or i walk/jog/run. Time has a certain value, and its fluid, however it's measurable in so much as it can be approximated. However that's alot of work, and it has a lot of potential real world value, however crowd sources to citizens of saint john would be a potential solution to this, as it would allow from work for the citizens and a more efficient system for the city, if the citizens identified what their common value for city objects are, yes this has potential to be an issue to discuss at length to the point of holding a weeklong event, just to allow the public time to speak and listen and speak and listen to crown source as much as possible, as a true democracy of a city, let the local public be able to link in online, and ask questions, and allow these question and answers to be witness in real time by the public with overhead projectors that display the question and the answers, and whom answers what, as some may only get to a few and others may tackle many, depending on their point of view and their understanding of the message. Using informational system tools you can communicate to large crowds and efficiently teach them. The content is extremely important, getting the input and the feedback, in real time allows for some interesting results, now comparing this with getting feedback from offsite real-time, it's not that much different, but it is safety from a "policing" point of view. I do not think this report in its form presented is of sound logic from a public life safety point of view. I do not think this report in its form presented is of sound logic from an environmental point of view. I do not think this report in its form presented is of sound logic from an economical investment point of view. There is content in this report that is well written, however there is informational oversights that seem to be missing or at conflict. As in the (governing principles for the documents were not unified), or they were just missing! (Note 2) #1.

(P.S understand this is (good)marketing vs marketing(bad), however the gangs are a long term potential major drain on city resources and are best to be prevented from be numerous. We want people to feel like they are Saint John's people not new sub regions that for official reason would allow the organization to be more complex and therefore require more time and money, now internally this could be done, that the city was zoned map into sections, and numbered, this would be for E.M.O and other features, and having a shared common database would result in MUCH LESS CONFUSION, and inter department transfer more cost effectively.

The Secondary Plan is intended to further implement the City's Municipal Plan which is known as Plan SJ ("Plan SY), and align and be responsive to the. City's recreation, transportation, economic, and population growth strategies. Together, these strategies will guide growth, development, and revitalization efforts in the City's centre for the next 30 years. Following in the footsteps of Plan SJ, the Secondary Plan combines traditional land use planning approaches with community building including social and economic sector aspects. What results is a responsive and representative Secondary Plan rooted in community action. The City has recognized the need to integrate economic development and population growth into their suite of strategic planning documents The Secondary Plan accomplishes this through its policy and action frameworks, creating a dedicated and well-rounded strategy for the City's core neighbourhoods. The Central Peninsula is comprised of the City's Uptown, South End, and Waterloo Village neighbourhoods. The area is recognized as the City's Primary Centre in Plan SJ. Plan SJ envisions the Central Peninsula as home to the highest intensity of land use and residential density, reflective of it being the historic heart of the City and a vibrant hub for employment, arts and culture, entertainment, and tourism. After decades of population decline and disinvestment, the Central Peninsula is experiencing a renaissance. There is increasing momentum to live, work, and recreate in the heart of the City. Populations in the Uptown Neighbourhood are increasing while neighbouring areas are stabilizing. Construction of new office and new and converted residential development are set to bring more people into the area every day. New restaurants, bars, and entertainment venues have maintained the area as the cultural centre of the City. Public spaces, particularly along the City's waterfront, have become important community focal points and there is increasing interest in realizing their full potential. As the positive momentum continues, there is increasing opportunity for economic and population growth on the Central Peninsula. Underutilized or vacant land is an asset prepared for repositioning and in doing so, creates potential for new housing stock and commercial space. This Secondary Plan provides an opportunity for the community to harness the growing momentum at the centre of the City and create positive transformative change. CENTRAL PENINSULA PLAN 316 LEGISLATIVE BASIS OF THE CENTRAL PENINSULA SECONDARY PLAN The Secondary Plan has been prepared in accordance with the New Brunswick Community Planning Act, SNB 2017, c. 19 (the "CPA"). The CPA empowers the City's Common Council ("Council") to create a secondary municipal plan that applies to a specific area of a municipality. While the Secondary Plan will act as a strategic guiding document for decisions related to development and investment, adoption of a secondary municipal plan does not commit the City or the Government of New Brunswick to undertake any of the policies or proposals in the Secondary Plan. If there is a conflict between plansj and this Secondary Plan, Plan SJ prevails. Plan SJ sets the strategic framework for the creation of secondary municipal plans by articulating the importance of neighbourhood plans as components to the successful implementation of Plan SJ. Plan SJ further recognizes areas in need of direct and intentional treatment through the identification of Neighbourhood Intensification Areas and Priority Neighbourhoods. The Central Peninsula combines the Uptown Primary Centre Intensification Area and South End and Waterloo Village Priority Neighbourhoods into a single geographic planning area allowing for a secondary plan that aligns with the strategic intention of Plan SJ. The Secondary Plan is incorporated into Plan SJ and implemented in the same manner; through the application of policy and regulations found in the City's Zoning By -Law, Heritage Conservation Areas By -Law, and Subdivision By -Law. The Secondary Plan is a living document and will be reviewed and amended where deemed appropriate by Council FUNDING SOURCES Funding for this project was received from the Federation of Canadian Municipalities, the Province of New Brunswick, and Uptown Saint John, Inc. SEPTEMBER 201 ?RAFT 8 NEIGHBOURHOOD ACTION TEAM The Neighbourhood Action Team (the "NAT") was pivotal to the preparation of the Secondary Plan. Populated with strong leaders from the community, the NAT acted as ambassadors of the diverse interests in the Central Peninsula. As a citizen -led committee, the NAT supported and advised the preparation of the Secondary Plan, providing direct connection to the positive change occurring in the City's Central Peninsula. The Secondary Plan would not be possible without their unwavering passion for their community. Their countless hours of work are reflected in the pages of this document and the continued positive momentum occurring throughout their neighbourhoods. (GRAPHIC: NAT PHOTO) 9 CENTRAL PENINSULA PLAN 318 1.2 How to Use the Plan The Secondary Plan is intended to serve the interests of the individual reader while directing smart growth in the Central Peninsula through thoughtful policy and action. Residents of the Central Peninsula are able to access information about the intended direction of their neighbourhoods while business owners and the development community can seek out opportunities for growth and investment. The Secondary Plan is organized to allow the reader to easily find the information most relevant to their interests or to read the entire document sequentially. CHAPTER 1: THE CENTRAL PENINSULA provides a snapshot of the area's history, geographical context, and demographics. The chapter also explains the planning process, community engagement results, and the overall vision for the Central Peninsula. CHAPTER 2: NEIGHBOURHOODS AND CORRIDORS OF THE CENTRAL PENINSULA provides description, direction, development concepts, and actions for the Uptown, South End, and Waterloo Village neighbourhoods. The functionality of Main, Union, and Crown Streets, along with City Road are considered and aspirational direction provided. Policies and proposals are offered for each neighbourhood and corridor providing Council with guidance and criteria for their decision making. CHAPTER 3: BUILDING AND DESIGN IN THE CENTRAL PENINSULA provides the regulatory framework for land use and guides the shape, pattern, height, and configuration of development through clear policy statements. It provides the principles by which development is evaluated and establishes built form direction and clarity. CHAPTE R 4: COMMUNITY ACTION FRAMEWORK provides the structure for action through clear policy statements reflective of the components that build a growing neighbourhood. CHAPTER 5: IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGY provides a framework for immediate and longterm action. The Secondary Planis intended to have many users and serves as a guide for the City's administration, residents, and investors. COUNCIL AND CITY STAFF use the Secondary Plan to guide land use and financial decision-making in the Central Peninsula. With a lens to each department's responsibilities, Staff uses the Secondary Plan to guide: • Form and density through zoning, character, and urban design throughout the Central Peninsula; • Street infrastructure upgrades including public realm improvements; • Park, recreation, and event and amenity space maintenance and creation; • Decisions and management of city assets and infrastructure spending; and • Smart growth and to build investor confidence in the Central Peninsula. RESIDENTS AND BUSINESSES OF THE CENTRAL PENINSULA usethe Secondary Plan to understand the vision for the Central Peninsula and'.how their neighbourhoods will change over the life of the Secondary Plan. SEPTEMBER 201 "FT 10 CITIZEN ACTION AND NON-PROFIT GROUPS use the Secondary Plan to build relationships and synergies between themselves and the City. The Secondary Pian provides these groups with tangible actions required to fulfill the community's vision for their neighbourhoods, D EVE LO P E RS use the Secondary Plan to understand the type and scale of development anticipated in the different areas of the Central Peninsula. 1.3 Historical Snapshot The Central Peninsula has been shaped by its turbulent past and tenacious spirit. Defining events in the City's past have proven the resilience of the core and molded the heart and spirit of the City and its residents. As we move forward creating our own history, it is important we appreciate the remarkable history that has shaped our built history and our emotional connections to this piece of geography. 11 CENTRAL PENINSULA PLAN 320 Early Development 1700-1900 (1) 1631 Fort Latour The first known permanent European set- tlement is established at Fort Latour, just northwest of the peninsula. (2) 1783 Arrival of Loyalists and survey of "Parr Town" A town is established on the peninsula by Loyalist settlers, The pattern for future development, much still intact, is laid out through a grid street plan oriented north to south. Public spaces such as King and Queen Square are planned and lands reserved in the South Waterfront. (3) 1820-60 A Mercantile City The Central Peninsula transitions from a village of neighbourhoods to a prosper- ous mercantile city through the growth in export of timber and shipbuilding and the development of domestic and regional markets for an expanding class of artisans. By 1850, housing on the Peninsula has spread fully to the eastern side. (4) 1877 The Great fire The City's business and commercial area is rebuilt under a new municipal building code requiring masonry walls as a result of the the Great Fire, giving much of the built form we recognize today. SEPTEMBER 20193Tt 1FT Early 20th Century 1901-1945 (5) 1901 Census By the turn of the century, Saint John is Canada's eighth largest City, under Halifax, with a population of 40,711. Much of the density is focused on the Central Peninsula. Larger metropolises in Central and Western Canada will quickly outpace Saint John in terms of population and growth for the rest of the century. (6) 1920s Continued Expansion Residential expansion is spurred by the elec- tric street car and the personal automobile. Residential development continues to push beyond Waterloo Village to the North End. (7) 1931 Town Planning Scheme Shortly following the adoption of a Town Planning Scheme prepared in 1931 under the direction of Thomas Adams, a permanent Town Planning Commission was created in 1932. The scheme gave direction regarding the laying out and construction of streets, sewers, open spaces, building lines, set- backs, and height and character. 12 Post -War and Urban Renewal 1946-1980 (8) 1946 Master Plan for the City The forerunner in postwar plans, the 1946 master plan is an ambitious and innovative 30 year guide for development, which empha- sizes modern transportation infrastructure new housing, and self-contained neighbour- hoods. (9) 1956-1967 Urban Renewal Studies The first urban renewal study highlights the state of deteriorated housing and overcrowd- ing in the City. As common in many urban areas during this period, it recommends large scale housing and infrastructure solutions, often at the cost of the integrity of existing communities. With the construction of the Harbour Bridge beginning in the 1965, a second study is comissioned. The results of this era are most evident in Main Street and Waterloo Village. (10) 1973 Community Plan The 1973 Plan responds to the need for more infrastructure after amalgamation occurs in 1967. It is known for its overly optimistic pop- ulation growth forecasts. With the dispersion of housing and commercial space outside the urban core to the City's east side already under way, urban revitalization projects also begin during this time with Brunswick Square in 1970s and Market Square in 1980s. 13 CENTRAL PENINSULA PLAN 322 The Last Few Decades 1981-2010 (11) 1982 Heritage Conservation The establishment of the City's first Heritage Conservation Area "Trinity Royal," ensures the protection of the City's built heritage and helps contribute to the uptown's urban revitalization. (12) 1990s Revitalization & Rehabilitation Urban revitalization projects and studies continue with an emphasis on the uptown. Infill Housing zone and guidelines are introduced to improve and stabilize housing in older urban neighbourhoods in reaction to suburban zoning standards. There is new, finer -grained infill development on many of the vacant, underuti- lized lots in the Central Peninsula. (13) 2000s Harbourfront Revitalization With the creation of the Harbour Passage and reconfiguration of port lands into cruise terminals, an ambitious 15 year vision for the City's Central Waterfront (aka "Inner Harbour") is established. (14) 2010 - PlanSJ Transformation of the key intensification areas across the City continue, with particular em- phasis on the uptown in terms of growing the city smaller and smarter, with a focus on urban design. 1.4 Secondary Plan Area The Central Peninsula is geographically composed of three neighbourhoods; the Uptown, South End, and Waterloo Village, significant waterfront spaces including the Central Waterfront, South Waterfront, and Long Wharf. Main, Union, and Crown Streets are identified in Plan SJ as Primary Corridors, with City Road identified as a Commercial Corridor and therefore receive specialized treatment in the Secondary Plan. UPTOWN NEIGHBOURHOOD The Uptown Neighbourhood is home to the majority of the offices, restaurants, and nightlife in the City. It is the commercial and entertainment centre of the Greater Saint John Region. It is roughly bound by Water Street to the west, City Road to the north, Sydney Street to the east, and Duke Street to the south. SOUTH END NEIGHBOURHOOD The South End is primarily a residential neighbourhood with mixed-use and local neighbourhood commercial spread throughout. The area South of Broad Street is characterized by low density business park development. It is bound by Water Street to the west, Duke Street to the north, Crown Street to the east, and the South Waterfront to the south. WATERLOO VILLAGE Waterloo Village has a significant mix of residential, commercial, and community spaces and facilities including St. Joseph's Hospital and the Cathedral of Immaculate Conception Roman Catholic Church. It is bound by Main Street to the west, the Saint John Throughway to the north, Crown Street to the east, and Union Street to the south. WATERFRONT SPACES - The Central Peninsula has more than 5 kilometres of waterfront primarily characterized by the Port of Saint John (the "Port"), a busy cargo port and important port -of -call on the Canada -New England cruise ship schedule. The Port controls approximately 80% of the Central Peninsula's waterfront spaces including Long Wharf which supports uses beyond port and industrial, creating a home for the Area 506 Music Festival, and other cultural entertainment events. The Central Waterfront includes Fundy Quay, a primarily municipally owned site poised for impactful redevelopment. The South Waterfront includes Tin Can Beach and the former Lantic Sugar Refinery Site. Tin Can Beach has become a favourite access point to the coastline for residents and visitors to the Central Peninsula. PRIMARY & COMMERCIAL CORRIDORS Plan SJ identifies Main, Union, and Crown Streets as Primary Corridors, which are recognized as locations for improved transit, active transportation, investments in streetscaping, public realm and urban design, and selectively intensified land use. City Road is identified in Plan SJ as a Commercial Corridor, which denotes its proximity to the Saint John Throughway and the appropriateness of automobile oriented uses.

From 2011 to 2016, the Central Peninsula experienced an overall population decrease of 6.2%. Despite the overall decrease, the Uptown Neighbourhood's population increased by over 15%. This increase was due primarily town influx of young adults aged 20-39. This demographic represents 35% of the Central Peninsula's population. Significant decreases in the population of Waterloo Village, and stabilization of the South End were seen over the same period. As of the 2016 Census, the Central Peninsula had an average population density of 2,387 residents per square kilometer. With increases to the residential housing stock since 2016, the population density of the Central Peninsula and specifically the Uptown Neighbourhood, has increased. The Central Peninsula is the densest area of the City and is therefore positioned to continue to be a walkable urban community POPULATION MEDIAN AGE ..... :_ ,-, , -. .; Saint John Saint John 7,550 Central Peninsula POPULATION CHANGE (Since 1986) -8.9% Saint John ' Central Peninsula POPULATION DENSITY 36/klm2 Saint John �� Central Peninsula MEDIAN INDIVIDUAL INCOME Central Peninsula POPULATION CHANGE (2011-2016) Saint John -5.8% Central Peninsula -8.34'% Waterloo Village -5.5% South End Uptown SEPTEMBER 20�tORAPT 16 SOCIO-ECONOMIC CONDITIONS The Central Peninsula is challenged by intergenerational poverty and unemployment which are exacerbated by the disparity between those who live and those who work in the area. As the regional employment hub, many of the jobs located in the Central Peninsula are held by middle income people living outside of the area. in 2015, 13.8% of children aged 17 and under living in the Central Peninsula were living in poverty. The unemployment rate for the area is 11.8% compared to the City's 6.6%. This places 1 in 10 participants in the labour force out of work. This Secondary Plan aims to foster mixed income neighbourhoods, allowing the quality of life for all residents of the Central Peninsula to improve. Adequate, stable, and appropriate housing is vital to an individual's health and wellbeing. The Central Peninsula is home to some of the City's most cherished heritage buildings with over 61% of the area's housing stock built before 1960. Older construction requires frequent and regular maintenance. It is projected at least 11.75% of the housing stock is in need of major repair. A significant 88.5% of residents on the Central Peninsula are renters with over 61% of residents having moved in the past five years. Ensuring access to and availability of affordable housing options is critical in meeting the needs of the current residents, attracting new residents, and combating issues stemming from low vacancy rates.

As a result, much of the exceptional historic architecture remains intact. The City currently has 770 buildings designated and protected across 11 Heritage Conservation Areas ("HCAs"), 6 of which are located in the Central Peninsula. HCAs are defined and regulated under the Heritage Conservation Areas. By-law, the main objective of which is to conserve, rehabilitate, and utilize heritage sites, structures, buildings, areas, and environments for the benefit of the community. These Heritage assets provide the foundation for one of the most dense, walkable urban communities in Atlantic Canada.

This has caused an increase in vacant commercial and residential properties that often become progressively derelict until many require demolition. Demolition leaves behind vacant lots that detract from the character of the neighbourhoods and streets, discouraging investment. There are currently almost 300 undeveloped lots in the Central Peninsula, many located in prime, mixed-use areas representative of substantial opportunity. Underutilized lands also represent a significant opportunity in the Central Peninsula, particular those along primary and commercial corridors. These locations house large, single -storey floor plates set within large areas of surface parking typical of a more suburban form. These areas are positioned for increased density long-term. 19 CENTRAL PENINSULA PLAN 328 AMENITIES (GRAPHIC: Image identifying amenities described below) The Central Peninsula has a diverse offering of experiences for both residents and visitors. Music and cultural entertainment at the historic Imperial Theatre, professional sports at Harbour Station, music and food festivals along the waterfront's Harbour Passage trail system, the Canada Games Aquatic Centre, new and established fine dining, Art galleries, and boutique shopping all add to the vibrancy of the City's core. The City's core is home to the "royal" squares, King's and Queen's Square, which provide valuable green space, recreation, and entertainment opportunities. In addition to these traditional spaces, newer assets like Rainbow Park and a revitalized Chown Field provide opportunity for increased play and recreation. These reconceived spaces remain incomplete and, in the case of Chown Field, can be reimagined to better serve the community year round. SEPTEMBER 20193T ►WT 2( 1.7 The Secondary Plan Process The Secondary Plan is the product of extensive community and stakeholder engagement. The NAT, the Stakeholder Working Group, the Project Steering Committee, and Council's combined effort produced a thoroughly representative document that will guide smart growth in the Central Peninsula for the next 30 years. (GRAPHIC: Plan Process) The Secondary Plan came together over 5 phases between May 2017 and June 2019. The key components of the phased work plan included: PHASE 1: INITIATING DIALOGUE Background research fed into an initial engagement effort, the Launch, held May 24, 2017. Initial stakeholder interviews and the formulation of the NAT occurred over this period. PHASE 2: URBAN ANALYSIS Urban structure and existing neighbourhood conditions were gathered and analysed to aide in the preparation of preliminary concepts and draft policy direction. These preliminary concepts were used to facilitate an intensive community engagement, the Central Peninsula Summit, held July 6th to 8th, 2017. PHASE 3: VISIONING AND SECONDARY PLAN DIRECTIONS Building off the Central Peninsula Summit, direction for Heritage and Urban Design were drafted while concepts were revised and refined culminating in an overall vision for the Central Peninsula. The vision and direction of the Secondary Plan were tested and confirmed through the Public Open House on November 23, 2017. Stakeholder, developer, and property owner engagement continued throughout Phase 3. PHASE 4: SECONDARY PLAN DEVELOPMENT Building off community and stakeholder engagement, and urban and statistical analysis, a draft secondary plan was completed and presented to the public, City Committees, and Council between the months of May and July, 2018. A Stakeholder Summit was held on June 21, 2018 to test the action focused components of the Secondary Plan. Substantial feedback was received throughout this engagement period, leading to important and informed improvements. PHASE 5: FINAL SECONDARY PLAN The final phase of the process involved thorough review by stakeholders including the NAT and the City's Solicitor's Office. Following this review period, the Secondary Plan was presented to the public via the Planning Advisory Committee ("Committee") and Council, allowing the public to voice any concerns. The public comment period stretched over a period of 6 weeks between September and October of 2019 and eventually led to Council adopting the Secondary Plan. 21 CENTRAL PENINSULA PLAN 330 1.8 Community Engagement Unique and creative engagement styles helped reach over 1100 people between May and October 2017. Digital platforms like the "Taking Shape Saint John" website generated 500 comments from 165 followers. More grassroots and involved engagement like pecha kucha community -led presentations and pop-up engagements at public events generated more than 2000 comments. Dozens of face-to-face interviews with developers, stakeholders, consultants, property owners, youth, and priority neighhourhood groups added to the substantial total of data collected. The engagement data was harvested to determine the community's visions and goals, to create a list of priority action items, and to direct policy ensuring the Secondary Plan is truly representative of the community it serves. SEPTEMBER 2SIf RAFT 22 ENGAGEMENT RESULTS Throughout the planning process, engagement summary reports were prepared and presented to Council and key stakeholders. The "What We Heard" reports summarized feedback received at three separate stages of the Secondary Plan process. This allowed the public to follow the development and progress of the Secondary Plan while also seeing the emergence of priority themes. After months of engagement, the community was clear on the following priorities: • The need to increase overall public access to the waterfront; • The need to address litter and waste to enhance streets and pedestrian areas; • The importance of protecting Heritage buildings while encouraging new growth; • A desire to improve active transportation and pedestrian infrastructure; • The need for more trees and greening; and • The need to infill vacant lots and address derelict buildings 23 CENTRAL PENINSULA PLAN 332 1.9 Vision And Guiding Principles The Vision seeks to capture opportunity and mitigate challenges in an effort to produce impactful improvements throughout the Central Peninsula. The Vision evolved from extensive consultation with those who use the space; those who live, work, and recreate in the City's core neighbourhoods. It reflects a broadly supported direction for the Greater Saint John Region's centre. As key areas develop and strategic investments are made, the Central Peninsula will evolve as an increasingly vibrant and walkable destination anchored by important community amenities and distinctive streetscapes. Over time, the City will be recognized as a unique offering within the landscape of Canadian cities, allowing the Central Peninsula to serve as a continued source of great community pride for the citizens of the City. The Vision presents an overarching goal for the Secondary Plan and the Central Peninsula as a whole. Guiding principles were developed as strategic steps to achieve the community's vision of the urban core. These principles were designed to ensure the Secondary Plan is reflective of the community's priorities while supporting and directing the implementation of the Secondary Plan over the next 30 years. ,fir, I.1 -n 6� * �S ply ►dr�� w k 5 Q a& -6-au n uc�se. �� e GGA �� le - j6 4& 4,1 4u4 es ,�ij iv h4'st+,,-s l 4e— �(?� w 0)/A. Ansi '` Gt SEPTEMBER 201936 FT THE VISION FOR THE CENTRAL PENINSULA The Central Peninsula is the most complete community in Atlantic Canada. Boasting world class Heritage buildings, the community appreciates the past while forging an inspired path into the future with exemplary new architecture. People from around the world are drawn to the dense and walkable urban community that is home to dynamic streetscapes and exciting cultural events. Surrounded by water, the Central Peninsula provides an opportunity to experience the Saint John Harbour through an interconnected active transportation trail system. The Central Peninsula is a vibrant place to live, work, and recreate with an evolving offering of amenities and resources. As the City continues to grow, the Central Peninsula will emerge as the reinvigorated heart of the Region and set itself firmly at the top of places to live in the Maritimes. GUIDING PRINCIPLES 25 CENTRAL PENINSULA PLAN 334 1. To achieve the Vision for the Central Peninsula, the following principles must guide decision making: 2.

Plan SJ establishes growth targets for the City, anticipating the need to accommodate 10,000 new residents and 13,400 new jobs by 2031. Based on the principles of smart growth, Plan SJ set a new direction for the City, envisioning 45% of new growth occurring within the City's urban intensification areas. With momentum building, there is significant opportunity to accommodate much of this growth in the Central Peninsula. CP aS`L XIk 5,5 SEPTEMBER 201tg�%FT ro�ap ej 0 D 009 L 4 1 26 The 30 year vision for the Central Peninsula will foster a vibrant urban core with stable and attractive residential neighbourhoods. To achieve this vision, the Central Peninsula must continue to grow its population and economy. For this purpose, the Secondary Plan sets out the ambitious 30 year goal of achieving: 1200 new residential units and 2400 new residents Considering current residential market demand and accounting fora mix of residential housing types, it is forecasted the Central Peninsula can accommodate 1200 new residential units over the 30 year lifespan of the Secondary Plan while maintaining a low vacancy rate. Assuming most new residential units will be home to a minimum of two residents, it is anticipated the population of the Central Peninsula would increase by a minimum of 2400 people by 2049. 350 new businesses and 4,000 additional jobs The Central Peninsula can accommodate a substantial amount of new business within existing office and commercial space. As the area's population grows and cultural shifts lead to more walkable lifestyles, it is expected the business community will be attracted to the increased density and vibrancy of the Central Peninsula. Continued focus on initiatives like the Brick Park Knowledge Cluster, the co -location of Information Technology, Telecommunications, and Creative Industry companies, will lead to steady and sustainable economic growth. $350,000,000 in new tax base An additional 2400 to 3000 residents and 4000 jobs supported by 350 new businesses will result in a substantial increase to the City's tax base. Tax base growth is central to the strength and sustainability of the City and the greater region. 27 CENTRAL PENINSULA PLAN 336 2.0 Neighbourhoods Corridors The Central Peninsula is composed of the Uptown, South End, and Waterloo Village Neighbourhoods as well as key corridors including Main, Union, and Crown Streets, and City Road. Each neighbourhood and corridor is defined by their own unique characteristics and distinct sense of place. Accounting for the different forms and functions of these places, the following sections consider each neighbourhood and corridor individually. Each Neighbourhood Plan is composed of the following components: NEIGHBOURHOOD DESCRIPTION Describes the current form and function of each neighbourhood. NEIGH B O U R H O O D DI RECTION Describes how the Secondary Plan will influence the neighbourhood over the lifespan of the Secondary Plan. DESIGN CHARACTERISTICS Describes built form concepts that will contribute to and reinforce the neighbourhoods as distinct places. GROWTH CONCEPTS Describe the catalytic projects and actions needed to transform and reinvigorate the neighbourhood. POLICIES AND PROPOSALS WOR K together to convey the intent of Council. The Neighbourhood Plans set out a series of policies and proposals and any development undertaken in the Central Peninsula must not be in conflict with the policies and proposals outlined herein. Policies are broad statements which are established to provide general guidance to Council in the making of planning decisions respecting, generally, what is and isnot permissible within the geographic area covered by the Secondary Plan. Proposals further animate policies by providing specific and granular guidance that further informs the application of policies. ACTIONS AND OUTREACH Describes the tangible stepsto be undertaken to achieve the neighbourhood direction. � ►� th '� I ► c'{ave r w , Z4 Y t' SEPTEMBER 20193WFT 28 S � z r G 1 y 1 3 4 29 CENTRAL PENINSULA PLAN 338 2.1 The Uptown Neighbourhood SEPTEMBER 2019FT 30 .'tu? Uptown Core and Central Waterfront The Uptown Core is the heart of the Central Peninsula and the City. This area is anchored by King's Square and the Loyalist Burial Ground to the east and the Central Waterfront to the west. It is connected by King Street, an important and iconic corridor and home to some of the City's most recognizable heritage assets. King's Square is a beautiful and historic space that provides a strong focus for commercial and cultural activity. It also serves as a public gathering space and transit hub, connecting people from across the City to the Uptown Core and beyond. The Uptown Core faces challenges, particularly along King Street as urban renewal - era developments have created a somewhat disconnected street north to south. The internalized mall of Brunswick Square enables pedestrian movement from Market Square to the City Market which reduces the presence of pedestrians on historic King Street. Additionally, large office developments have created a number of blank walls along prominent streets throughout the Uptown Core effecting the pedestrian environment. There are opportunities for strategic infill development around King's Square, the Fundy Quay, and on key parts of the Port's property. Strategic infill development will deliver new mixed-use environments that can add new people, jobs, and vitality to the Uptown Core. There are also opportunities for new institutions to expand the economic and cultural offerings of the Uptown Core and Central Waterfront. At the same time, new and attractive pedestrian oriented destinations and improvements can support urban living. Neighbourhood Direction With the highest concentration of employment, the Uptown Core will remain the City's most vibrant, complete neighbourhood. New, mixed-use development will increase population density, adding vibrancy to the streetscape. Continued and enriched Arts and Cultural programming along the Waterfront, historic streets, alleys, and parks and open spaces will enable the Uptown Core to be the primary destination in the region for year-round festivals and events. The redeveloped Fundy Quay site will provide services and amenities, including housing opportunities, while providing residents and visitors with expanded access to the waterfront through an extension of Harbour Passage along the perimeter of the site. King Street will continue to develop as a prominent civic corridor with enhanced street level activity from redeveloped urban renewal -era projects, strengthening the connection between King's Square and Market Square. New infill developments around King's Square and throughout the Trinity Royal Heritage Area will fill gaps along historic streetscapes while complementing heritage elements with modern architectural details. The Uptown Core will feature the City's most interesting and vibrant public realm, with public art, amenities for pedestrians and cyclists, vibrant commercial streets, and pedestrianized streets and lanes. 31 CENTRAL PENINSULA PLAN 340 Design Characteristics • Mid -rise and tall buildings to accommodate full build -out and to capitalize on /yf ase 4f �fi market and zoning provisions for commercial and residential density. MV 743,Nec 6 • Prominent heritage buildings to inform new, contemporary built form elements and infill opportunities. • Where appropriate, buildings will incorporate non-residential ground floor uses to maintain and enhance a vibrant, pedestrian -oriented urban environment, animating the public realm. • Street wall heights are regulated through setbacks and stepbacks to maintain a comfortable, human -scaled built environment. • Corner buildings feature well-designed entrances that transition the corner. Existing civic spaces are strengthened to support green space and recreation amenities in the core; new civic spaces along the waterfront will support increased access to the waterfront. • New infill development will feature a mix of uses and high quality design which will maintain and enhance urban form. • A mix of structured and dense, on -street parking to accommodate residents, employees, and visitors. SEPTEMBER 2SI4,PRAFT 32 REINFORCE THE SYMBOLIC HEART OF THE CENTRAL PENINSULA — KING'S SQUARE King's Square is framed by iconic and historic buildings such as the Imperial Theatre, the University of New Brunswick Saint John building, the City Market, the Admiral Beatty, the Court House, and the Irving Oil Limited Home Office. Existing vacant lots and buildings inconsistent with the overall character and quality of the predominant architectural fabric and landscape represent significant redevelopment opportunities. These include 91 King Street, 59 King's Square North and the adjacent parking lot, and the parking lot south of the Royal Bank of Canada. Loyalist Burial Ground, adjacent to King's Square, is a historic site that speaks to the history of the City and provides opportunity for passive recreation. The Golden Ball Building frames the north edge of the burial ground and Union Street. An adjacent parking lot creates a gap in the framing around King's Square, creating potential for transformative development like the installation of educational or cultural institutions. DEVELOP THE CENTRAL WATERFRONT AS A KEY MIXED-USE EDUCATIONAL AND CULTURAL DESTINATION There are numerous opportunities for strategic place -making along the Central Waterfront. The Fundy Quay site is 2.4 hectares with almost 350 meters of water frontage and is primed for development. Port -owned property around Pugsley Slip and the neighbouring sections of Water Street are the entryway for cruise ship visitors, creating substantial opportunities for incremental and impactful improvements for visitors and, residents alike. REINFORCE EAST -WEST CONNECTIONS BETWEEN THE TWO CORE ANCHORS - THE CENTRAL WATERFRONT AND KING'S SQUARE King Street is an important corridor that links the Uptown Core's two anchors - King's Square and the Central Waterfront. It is one of the broadest streets on the Central Peninsula; which gives the street a sense of openness and creates potential for civic space. Its prominence should be retained when undertaking streetscape redesign or redevelopment, paying attention to the grade so ample public space is encouraged which will entice people to remain in the space for a time. At the foot of King Street are Loyalist Plaza and the Market Square intersection. Loyalist Plaza is an important public space along the Central Waterfront which could benefit from reinvestment. The plaza is an opportunity for people to engage with the waterfront. Future redesign of the adjacent municipally owned Market Square lands should consider increasing the utility of the area, particularly in the right-of-way at the foot of City Hall, as a place for civic gathering and celebration. There is potential to reimagine King Street as an enhanced pedestrian environment through encouraging better cross -street relationships to the Heritage fabric as well as street -level improvements to Brunswick Square. As an alternative to this approach, building on the recent success of Grannan Lane, a network of east to west pedestrian alleyways through the Trinity Church block would create a novel way of navigating the city in enclosed, urban spaces. 33 CENTRAL PENINSULA PLAN 342 Council Shall: U-1 Reinforce King Square as the heart of the Central Peninsula Proposals: 1. Complete the missing built form edge around King's Square by filling in gaps and encouraging redevelopment. 2.

With 7.3 hectares of flat asphalt, the area is used by the Port as a laydown area for salt, a temporary terminal for cruise ships, and a docking area for commercial ships among many other uses over the years. More recently, Long Wharf has been optimized for hosting the Area 506 music festival, adding depth to the event offerings in the Central Peninsula. Long Wharf's location on the waterfront and close proximity to the Uptown Core makes it a strategic, long-term infill development opportunity within the Central Peninsula. Long Wharf will be transformed from a vacant waterfront site to a modern, mixed-user�� neighbourhood, with expansive harbour views and waterfront access. In the future, Long Wharf will feature a mix of office, retail, and entertainment uses in mixed-use, modern developments with residential development intentionally incorporated in the long term. Waterfront setbacks will maintain access for continued Port operations, primarily Cruise Ship berthing. The area will be connected to the City via Harbour Passage and a new road network via Station Street. Design Characteristics • A dense mix of mid -rise to tall buildings that step down to the waterfront, while maintaining view corridors from Fort Howe. • Contemporary architecture, with a mix of wood, glass and cementitious materials. • Contemporary, mid -rise residential developments feature entrance plazas, setback from the street. • Building setbacks from the waterfront, providing continuous public access to the harbour. • In -building parking structures to support the building's residential uses. • Structured and on -street parking to accommodate visitors and employees. • New civic parks and open spaces to provide amenities to new residents. • A new, pedestrian bridge over Long Wharf Slip connecting the foot of Union `j Street to Long Wharf. J SEPTEMBER 2019fflffT 36 Growth Concepts DEVELOP LONG WHARF AS A NEW MIXED USE NEIGHBOURHOOD EXTENSION TO THE UPTOWN CORE As a large, underutilized site in close proximity to Uptown Core, Long Wharf is a strategic opportunity for development. Through the long-term, phased redevelopment of the site, the City can foster the creation of a new distinct waterfront neighbourhood adjacent to the Uptown Core. Long Wharf is envisioned as incubating commercial development with residential development introduced as a result of burgeoning commercial activity. At the eastern side of Long Wharf is Long Wharf Slip, which has a mix of natural and hard shoreline. Building on residential development on the Market Square Boardwalk and Robertson's Wharf, the Secondary Plan contemplates mixed use development on either side of the slip, including the redevelopment of the surface parking lot and electrical substation. A pedestrian bridge will cross Long Wharf Slip, creating an access from Union Street, through the Long Wharf site, and connecting to Fort LaTour. A pedestrian bridge across the slip would make Long Wharf more accessible by foot and bicycle to the rest of the Central Peninsula. CREATE NEW OPPORTUNITIES TO EXPERIENCE THE WATERFRONT With almost 700 metres of frontage along Saint John's Inner Harbour, Long Wharf has enormous potential to reconnect the Central Peninsula to its waterfront. Currently, Long Wharf is only accessible to the public during special events, though plans have been established to extend Harbour Passage along the edge of Long Wharf as an interim measure to enhance the public use of the site. The future development of Long Wharf will secure the waterfront for public use, creating new opportunities for passive recreation and gathering. Extending out into the Inner: Harbour, Long Wharf offers a unique vantage point of the harbour and the City. There are opportunities to establish lookout points in strategic areas throughout Long Wharf, mimicking the established pattern along Harbour Passage, increasing the site's public use. Such lookout points are suitable locations for public art, commemoration, or historical interpretation. At the east end of the site, Long Wharf Slip is an ideal location for a small -craft marina to introduce recreational boat traffic to the Inner Harbour. A small -craft marina would generate new interest in the waterfront and diversify the Central Peninsula's offering, contributing to the overall vibrancy of the Central Peninsula. The potential popularity of a small -craft marina can be leveraged to help create market demand for residential development on lands surrounding the Long Wharf Slip. Fort LaTour - a designated Provincial Historic Site - lies adjacent to the western boundary of Long Wharf. Work to redevelop the green space to enhance its function as a destination for locals and tourists are underway. The plans include an outdoor amphitheater, the recreation of the historic fort on the site, and an interpretation centre including a public washroom. The redevelopment of Fort LaTour will help to spur the redevelopment of Long Wharf and the extension of Harbour Passage. 37 CENTRAL PENINSULA PLAN 346 Growth Concepts ON NG WH4Rr 5 A NEW MIXED USE NEIGHBOURHOOD DEVELOPTO HE UPTOWN CORE E)(TEN to Uptown Core, LongWharf is a proximity term; phased redevelopment Asa lar°@*,e, underutilized site in close p h the: long neighbourhood strategic opportunity for development.

On the north side of the street, the historic pattern of small r development parcels is intact, out there are many vacant lots and parking lots. Ne vitality could be brought to the; area through infill development along Prince Edwar Street, and the long-term redevelopment of Prince Edward Square Mall to better engage the street. REINFORCE WATERLOO STREET AS THE HISTORIC CORRIDOR OF WATERLOO VILLAGE Despite urban renewal efforts of the mid -20th century, the historic, fine grain pattern of buildings and parcels remains intact along Waterloo Street, matching the urban character of the Uptown and the South End Neighbourhoods. Recent developments along the street, such as the condominium building; on the corner of Golding Street, have maintained this height, scale, and rhythm. However, the vacant lots and parking lots detract from the street's overall character. In certain instances, inappropriate suburban style buildings and land uses detract from the more historic urban form of Waterloo Village. Infill development along Waterloo Street and the gradual redevelopment of existing suburban format commercial buildings can reinforce the character of Waterloo Street as the main street of Waterloo Village. Enhancements to the public realm, including streetscape improvements and a small community park could encourage this reinvestment. IN THE LONG-TERM, REDEVELOP CROWN STREET AS AN URBAN MIXED USE NEIGHBOURHOOD WITH MARSH CREEK AS A KEY NEIGHBOURHOOD ASSET SEPTEMBER 2079 (3@Lft 52 Crown Street is a key point of entry into the Central Peninsula from the region. The street is wide and buildings are set far back within expansive park parking lots, encouraging drivers to drive quickly, which results in an uncomfortable and unsafe environment for pedestrians and cyclists. In the short term, public realm irnprovements will enhance the pedestrian Environment, promoting private investment for higher density residential development and large format retail uses, such as a grocery store, to Serve the Central Peninsula. In the long-term, Crown Street, can be redeveloped as a mixed-use neighbourhood Providing a range of housing;, employment, and retail opportunities. New buildings along Crown Street could transform the character of the street and improve pedestrian conditions through creating a stronger relationship to the street, a road diet, and streetscape improvements. Marsh Creek, found to the east of Crown Street, has undergone ecological restoration over this past decades. Working in collaboration with ACAP, Marsh Creek can be enhanced as a new recreational and ecological asset for Waterloo Village and the Central Peninsula. This could include a system of boardwalks through the marsh, providing; an opportunity for residents to interact with nature while providing connection to other parts of the City. 53 CENTRAL PENINSULA PLAN WV -1 Reanimate Prince Edward Street and position Chown field as an important community resource Proposals: 1. developmentmote doenFispecifically park's ,�nedge to create a� o,enCos Field, a.e hfi*I"L� &4 2.

Complete streets are public streets designed to accommodate all modes of transportation. Move SJ provides a framework to modernize the City's transportation culture. The following sections provide treatments for the corridors of the Central Peninsula to support: their functionality as complete streets as guided by Move SJ. Plan SJ identifies Main, Union, and Crown Streets ,as Primary Corridors. Primary Corridors function as main transportation links between the City's centro; and urban intensification areas. These corridors host a myriad of uses supportive of the form and density of the neighbourhoods they connect. Main, Union, and Crown Streets are important to the vitality of the Central Peninsula as they provide the connection between the Uptown, South End, and Waterloo Village Neighbourhoods. Identifying their importance through individualized land use treatments strengthens the connection between neighbourhoods and further t,apitalizes on opportunities to make these complete streets. City Road is identified in Plan SJ as a Commercial „orridor, Commercial Corridors traditionally function differently than the City's Primary Corridors; they are more automobile focused and characterized by their proximity to the Saint John Throughway. City Road currently operates as a service corridor supporting light industrial uses while also providing pedestrian connection to the North End. There is substantial opportunity to improve the pedestrian and active transportation environment on City Road. Setting a framework for transitioning the area into a Primary Corridor over time would foster a mixed use: neighbourhood supportive of the growing Central Peninsula. The following sections articulate how the corridors of the Central Peninsula currently function and also, provide direction for their enhancement. A series of policies and proposals provide Council with direction and guidance in realizing the potential of these areas. Each Corridor treatment is composed of the following components: CORRIDOR DESCRIPTION Describes the current form and function of each corridor, CORRIDOR DIRECTION Describes how the Secondary Plan will influence the corridor over the lifespan of the Secondary Plan. POLICIES AND PROPOSALS Work together to convey the intent of Council. Each Corridor Treatment sets out a series of policies and proposals and any development undertaken in that area must not be in conflict with the policies and proposals outlined herein. Policies are broad statements which are established to provide general ;guidance to Council in the making of planning decisions respecting, generally, what is and is not permissible within the geographic area covered by this section. Proposals further animate policies by providing specific and granular guidance that further informs the application of policies. 57 CENTRAL PENINSULA PLAN 367 -4.1 Mair Street Corridor Main Street between Chesley Drive and St. Patrick Street is a six lane, urban arterial road. Historically the street; was a two-lane streetcar and public transit corridor with a dense, urban built form with ample commercial and residential uses. The street connected the North End and (ventral Peninsula both by transportation and service. 1960s urban renewal realized a large scale neighbourhood demolition and relocation of residents to facilitate the Saint John Throughway (Highway 1) and Harbour Bridge. Today, the corridor features limited residential land uses and is comprised of a business park with Place 400 and Hilyard Place providing employment opportunities in low-rise buildings with ample surface parking. Much of the northern portion of the street is comprised of vacant land, When built, the six lane urban arterial and viaduct into the Central Peninsula was' planned to accommodate a population of 300,000 residents, that growth was not realized and current traffic does not: warrant,t.he built infrastructure. The Main Street viaduct is maintained by the Province of New Brunswick, providing challenges in administering and realizing a new vision for the corridor. The corridor provides an opportunity to "right - size" the .street infrastructure, while unlocking land for developrnent and reconnecting the North End to they Central Peninsula, Main Street, east of Chesley Drive is reconfigured into a three lane street, with two travel lanes in each direction ;and a centre turning lane, with on -street parking and separated, bi-directional cycling lanes. New residential and mixed-use development on the north edge of the street, provides active street life, which is enhanced by public realm improvements, such as street trees, wide sidewalks, and transit and active transportation facilities. The viaduct is transformed from a six lane arterial to a four lane street, with an urban greenway on the eastern side, providing both civic green space and an active transportation link between the Central Peninsula and the North End.

West of Waterloo Street, Union Street is a two-lane narrow street with on -street parking and standard metre sidewalks framed by two- to four -storey buildings, many of which are historic. Union Street widens East: of Waterloo Street. There are many vacant lots, blar7l, walls, and a mix of tall and low-rise buildings setback from the street and a higher incidence of traffic, as vehicles and busses funnel through from King's Square. These conditions encourage increased traffic. seeds and create poor conditions for pees runs and cyclists. As a result, Union Street acts,as a barrier between Waterloo Village and the rest of the Central Peninsula. The significant intersection at Crown Street, Union Street, and the Courtney Bay Causeway is found at the eastern terminus of Union Street. This intersection has high traffic rates, with dedicated right turn lanes, and low density land uses, creating poor public reBIM conditions at one the Central Peninsula's key gateways. The development of vacant and underutilized lands and the redevelopment of key sites along Union Street would have a transformative impact on the street while creating new commercial and housing opportunities„ The experiencemoving along lainion Street should be safe and comfortable for all users. Simple improvements to the public realm such as additional street trees can work to calm traffic and enhance safety. Together, these actions can better integrate Waterloo Village with the rest of the Central Peninsula. k6 4%4 S i�` vo At 40. ov:IVIC v S � o� g W'C' c Corridor Direction Union Street will be a complete street, with wide sidewalks, street trees, bike lanes, well -marked crosswalks, creating a safe and comfortable experience for all users.

Union Street will be a draw for entrepreneurs, artists, and small-scale commercial enterprises, cresting a sense of placethat is unique tc> the corridor and aesthetically different from the Uptown Neighbourhood.

It is a vehicular -focused street with four travel lanes extending from Station Street to the west to Haymarket Square to the east. It provides heavy truck traffic with access to the Saint John Throughway and also presents an opportunity for truck drivers to circumvent the dense street: grid of the Central Peninsula. Land uses are diverse and incohesive, ranging from a mix of light industrial, commercial, residential, and cultural uses. City Road contributes to a division of the North End's Mount Pleasant area to the Central Peninsula. Currently, a pedestrian crossing exists via Stanley Street; however, a lack of pedestrian amenities along City Road discourages any real or robust connections. Corridor Direction City Road is an important east -west connector in the City. Through a road diet, City Road is a complete street with separated cycle lanes, improved pedestrian facilities, and two travel lanes with a centre turn large. Street trees contribute to a renewed and green public realm. Land uses steadily evolve from automobile - oriented uses, to mixed use developments that are Positioned closer to the street frontage.

It aligns with the Vision, Guiding Principles, and Growth Targets articulated in Chal:iter 1 of the Secondary Plan. This chapter enables the design characteristics for each neighbourhood and corridor plan outlined in Chapter 2. Additionally, it seeks to ensure development is consistent with community aspirations by driving density to the City', core while also improving the human scale and pedestrian environment. Plan SJ recognizes the built form character of the Central Peninsula through intentionally directing a concentration of density and more complex and concentrated mix of uses. The following sections provide direction over the form of mimad use developments to ensure quality, compatibility and harmony between commercial, retail, and residential usesLbetailed direction with respect to height, massing, street wall, pedestrian -oriented commercial streets, and transition areas aim to enhance the urban environment well into the future. The Uptown and South End Neighbourhoods are strongly defined by their Heritage assets which provide a distinct sense of place. Direction is provided for infill developtnent within the Heritage Conservation Areas to ensure it is responsive to the vision of the Secondary Plan while respecting heritage values. New infill standards, found in the Heritage Conservation Areas By -Law, were developed in tandem with the Secondary Plan and aim to balance the conservation and preservation of historic buildings with the integration of contemporary building materials and practices, ushering in the next generation of Heritage. This Building and Design Chapter is implemented through performance criteria in the Zoning By-law and the Heritage Conservation Argas By-law. This approach is intentionally flexible and responsive to innovative design interventions and unique site conditions and challenges. The following sections create predictability and clarity in the development review process, while promoting; creativity in design, ultimately supporting a quality and enduring urban environment for the region. t The goals of the Building and Design chapter are to: Pe * AN4 • Enhance clarity and predictability of the development review pros s . ++•• k�c • Use design to reinforce: the human scale and sense of place. f. —lkth 41A,"V ��e�"" � 4 0 • [wive density to the neighbourhoods of the Central Peninsula to realize the j.4; ,e% �,'(°N5,�, growth targets. • Direct a clear process for Heritage Infill development that is respeatful of the g'►k `1� pest while creating opportunity for new legacy projects. �`,.D • Recognizing the importance of the Uptown Neighbourhood as the City's � �d Central Business District by ensuring high quality architecture and design Shb,L elements in new and rE-adapted developments. • Bolster an animated public realm by dictating active ground floor uses in appropriate areas. • Conserve and improve public waterfront access through ensuring; development is responsive and contextually appropriate. SEPTEMBER 2019 DOTE 66 HOW TO USE THIS CHAPTER COUNCIL, COMMITTEES, AND STAFF use this chapter in combination with the City's Zoning By-law, Heritage; Conservation Areas By-law, and Subdivision By-law to guide land use decisions and facilitate development proposals. This chapter provides the principles by which developments are evaluated and establishes built form direction and clarity. DEVELOPERS AND DESIGNERS use this chapter in combination with the City's Zoning By-law, Heritage Conservation Areas By -lain, and Subdivision By-law to guide investment and development that is responsive to the community's vision and needs. 67 CENTRAL PENINSULA PI -AN 377 3.1 Built Form V``` 0 Built form is the human -created space where people live, work. and recreate. The Central Peninsula's built form was determined by a historic development pattern defined lay the local topography and proximity to the ocean. Taller buildings, primarily of masonry construction are clustered around the Central Waterfront and the foot of King Street in the Uptown Neighbourhood, servin ; as the City's Central Business District. The development pattern shifts as it moves to higher ground and towards Waterloo Village and the South End, where masonry transitions to wood construction and residential land uses prevail. The intent of the Secondary Plan is to ensure the traditional built form character in the heart of the City is respected and strengthened through new and exciting developments. Council Shall: BD -1 Gu° Ensure development is consistent with and respects the established historic, block and street grid pattern that defines the built character of the Central Peninsula. 1 ti �f BD -2 �✓ Protect ,public views to the water along key ,public streets and open spaces. SEPTEMBER 2019 WafB 68 3.2 Building Height The Central Peninsula's built form ranges from two-storey historic residential dwellings to office towers greater than 10 storeys. The height framework to regulate development within the Central Peninsula is established in the Zoning By-law as an overlay map. Appropriate height was determined based on location, adjacent buildings;, and the context and character of distinct areas and streets. In accordance with building typologies, taller buildings may step back or respond to neighbouring buildings; depending on the height. The Central Peninsula Building Heiglrt map allocates; height where it currently exists, where it can be supported sensitively within the context of a neighbourhood, and where it can be used to create a sense of enclosure around public parks. Council Shall: BD -3 Establish specific provisions in the Zoning Bylaw to regulate the maximum height of development within the Central Peninsula, to ensure clarity and predictability for investors, while ensuring future development is sensitive to the neighbourhood context. These provisions shall allow for minor variances in height in accordance with Parameters in the Zoning Bylaw. BD -4 Consider proposals for development that e;arceed the Zoning Bylaw provisions for height on the Central Peninsula through an amendment to the Zoning Bylaw. In evaluating such proposals consideration shall be given to the following criteria: a) The proposed height variance does not negatively impact Pedestrian street conditions and sun exposure and wind impacts tyre considered through the design J.1474ftCS65 A40- , ? b) That the proposal does not adversely impact the character of the City's Heritage Conservation areas; -P WXk A.&lh 16 "- 519" % n•l-n fie.

In accordance with the building typology, buildings may step back or respond to neighbouring buildings depending on the height. Further, the, following building; typologies introduce new standards and guidelines: townhouses, low-rise building gs, mid -rise buildings, and tall buildings are implemented through the Zoning By-law. Council Shall: 8D-7 Ensure the massing of buildings considers and protects the pedestrian street level experience, including sky views and sunlight penetratior to the street while minimize wind. BD -8 Provide transitions in scale to Heritage Conservation Areas, low-rise residential areas, and the waterfront. IMPLEMENTATION: Standards for massing and stepbacks, and separation distances of buildings are provided in the Zoning By-law. In Heritage Conservation Areas, design considerations for massing are provided through the Heritage Conservation Areas By-law. 71 CENTRAL PENINSULA PLAN 381 3.4 The street wall is an important: feature of dense urban environments. It i;; created through the orientation and pl►;icement of front building facades on or close to the street boundary, thereby defining the character,of the public realm and creating enclosurE► for pedestrians. In commercial and most residential areas of the Central Peninsula, street; are framed by buildings uniformly placed along a public street with no setbacks. Averaging; three to five storeys, prominent street walls are located in the Uptown Neighbourhood, specifically in the Trinity Royal Heritage Conservation Area, along King, Prince William, and Germain Streets. These prominent street walls are protected and regulated under the Street wall Height: map found in the Zoning By-law, which provides a maximum street wall height. From time to time, developments may seek an increase to the street, wall in this area, which would require an amendment to the Street Wall Height Map.. Criteria for this increase is provided below. In other areas of the Central Peninsula, the street wall is regulated through height. and stepback,s, which are regulated in the above sections. Council ,3hall: BD- .9 Establish provisions in the Zoning By-law to regulate street wall heights in the Central Peninsula to ensure human scale pedestrian oriented streetscapes. Context specific provisions will be established for the Trinity Royal Heritage Conservation, Area through the Street Wall Height Map in the Zoning Sy -law. These provisions shall allow for minor variances in height in accordance with parameters in the Zoning Bylaw. BD -10 Consider proposals for development that exceed the Zoning Bylaw provisions for Street wall height in the Trinity Royal Heritage Conservation Area through an amendment to the Zoning By-law. In evaluating such proposals consideration shall be given to the following criteria. a) The proposed increase to the height of the street wall does not negatively impact pedestrian street conditions and sun exposure and wind impacts are considered through design. b) That the proposal does not adversely impact the character of the City's Heritage Conservation areas, c) The general Intent and purpose of the Municipal Plan, this Secondary Plan and supporting By-laws is maintained. rrinity Royal Heritage Conservation Area, ensure street yintain a comfortable, human scaled street enclosure, ximum of five storeys in commercial areas and two SEPTEMBER 203-6pF AFT 72 storeys in residential neighbourhoods. IMPLEMENTATION: Maximum street wall heights are set out in the Central Peninsula Street (Nall Height Map in the Zoning By-law. 73 CENTRAL PENINSULA PIAN 383 3.5 Setbacks Building setbacks reinforce the existing character of the Central Peninsula by establishing a pattern of each block face. The pattern at which buildings are setback from the right-of-way contributes to the pedestrian experience and built form character of a neighbourhood. In the dense residential fabric of the Central PeninsWa, it is expected new developments be responsive to the neighbourhood context while continuing the setback pattern of the block face. Council "3hall: BD -12 Establish provisions in the Zoning By-law to ensure the street wall of new development continue the prevailing setback pattern of the block face. IMPLEMENTATION: Setbacks are set out in the zone standards within the Zoning By-law. SEPTEMBER 20tAFT 74 3.6 Pedestrian -Oriented Streets This Secondary Plan encourages active ground floor uses on primary commercial streets in the Uptown Neighbhourhood through provisions in the Zoning By-law. Within designated Uptown Neighbourhood streets, non-residential ground floor uses reinforce: and preserve a strong commercial core together with residential uses on the upper floors. The Uptown more possesses many existing storefront facades that help animate the sidewalk and create pedestrian -oriented streets. The Secondary Plan supports a more targeted approach to fostering pedestrian -oriented streets. Council shall: BD -13 Designate primary commercial corridors in the Zoning By-law where non- residential uses will be encouraged at the ground floor in order to foster vibrant and pedestrian oriented commerciarl streetscapes. Esi`ablish provisions in the Zoning By-law to allow` flexibility in considering residential uses in designated commercial corridors where appropriate. IMPLEMENTATION: Requirements for non-residential ground floor uses along commercial corridors are set out in the Uptown Commercial Zone of the Zoning By-law. 75 CENTRAL PENINSULA PLAN 385 3.7 Heritage Infill Heritage buildings are the foundation of the City's unique and recognizable built character. The Heritage Infill Standards found in the Heritage Conservation Areas By-law facilitate new construction and additions to existing buildings. The approach to heritage in the Central Peninsula is responsive to the community's request for a more flexible approach and desire for a clear and predictable approval process. The Heritage approval process for infill development will focus on the design of infill developwient to ensure it is contextually appropriate rather than height and massing of development which will be regulated through the Zoning By-law. A range of infill developinent from traditional to modern architecture will be considered through a tiered application process approach. The requirement for detailed analysis increases with more contemporary design to ensure quality and appropriateness to the surrounding context. This approach allows the Central Peninsula's built heritage to progress while respecting our past. Council shall: BD -14 Encourage well designed cantemporary infill development within the Central ;Peninsula's Heritage Conservation Areas through a tiered design review approach supported by Plan SJ and the Heritage Conservation Areas By-law. BD -15 Strive to infill streetscapes while enhancing ,heritage character through compatibly scaled and designed developments. BD -1B Protect the community value of built heritage through administering the infill development' process outlined in the Heritage Conservation Areas By-law ensuring development is compatible with the existing character of heritage areas while providing flexibility for high quality, modern architecture. IMPLEMENTATION: Heritage development is facilitated through the Heritage Officer and the Heritage. Development Board. The Heritage Infill Standards apply to all infill and major additions in the Heritage Conservation Areas, and are administered through the Heritage Conservation Areas By -Law. SEPTEMBER 20198t8AFT 76 3.8 Urban Design and Public Realm Design Guidelines Urban Design addresses the relationship between buildings, streets, and public spaces. The interplay of these: elements and how they affect the physical environment contributes to the overall sense of a place. This is particularly important. in the Uptown Neighbourhood, where a high quality pedestrian experience is desirable. The public realm is the space: in a city that is share:aJ by the community. It: is composed of streets, parks, landscapes, civic buildings, and other publicly owned and accessible land. The practical function of the public realm is defining; blocks, allowing access and servicing, and providing public; amenity adjacent to private development. The policies in this section direct the, creation of urban design and public realm guidelines specific to the Central Peninsula and provide direction and context for their future use. The CPA does not currently provide a complete frairnework for design review processes. Design review and site plan approval processes are used to facilitate efficient development approvals. They allow for robust review to ensure development is contextually appropriate and contributes to ahigh quality public realm. The City's approach to urban design will evolve as the legislative framework becomes available. Council shall: BD -17 Adopt Central Peninsula Urban Design and Public Realm Guidelines to build awareness and encourage design excellence in the redevelopment of streetscapes on the Central Peninsula and to create high-quality, targeted public space improvements. BD -18 Upon adoption of the Central Peninsula Urban Design Manual Guidelines, use the guidelines when considering discretionary development on the Central Peninsula and as a strategic framework for decisions involving or impacting: street character, the public right-of-way, transit and active transportation, views, and parks on the Central Peninsula.

Communit Actionm The Cornmunity Action Framework provides the structure for action on the Central Peninsula. This is accomplished through a structured set of policies applicable throughout the City's core and through the creation of the Central Peninsula Community Action Strategy, a partner document of the Secondary Plan,. Together they provide direction for the City, stakeholders, and the community to achieve the community's vision for an exciting and inclusive mixed -income community. The Community Action Framework is organized into themes reflective of the components that build a growing neighbourhood: C CO 4.1 Growth And Development p �oao� ►� �, r��p„rla� There is substantial potential for population, empita ment, and ax base growth on the Central Peninsula. Markets for commercial and residentia development are stronger than they have been in decades thanks to th ra id rowt of the Uptown Neighbourhood while vacant and underutilized lands present a great opportunity for increased density and intensification. Additionally, the City's Heritage and historic building stock provides ample opportunity for programs that support creative reuse thereby supporting the information technology sector, start-up enterprises, and other knowledge-based industries. -rhe Secondary Plan .supports growth and development through guiding and encouraging decisions that prioritize: • Accelerating Property Development • Marketing the Central Peninsula • Strategic Asset & Sector Development To achieve sustainable growth focused on the priorities list above, Council shall: CP -1 Ensure any new infrastructure investment strategies for the Central Peninsula and the City are planned to maximize opportunities for urban development and address the future infrastructure needs or development in the Central Peninsula. --p gi1C'i !W1,00 IW54jr4"Oe.

SEPTEMBER 20WAFT 80 4.2 City Vibrant Arts and Culture forms the identity and experience of a community. The City's celebrated Arts community hes found venues, both domestic and foreign, to showcase its creativity for over a century. There are over a dozen galleries in the Central Peninsula contributing to the vibrancy of the core while bolstering a robust creative scene. The success of the Arts has supported the creation of new and exciting events ranging from music festivals and outdoor markets, to street parties and outdoor art installations. The Secondary Plan supports Arts and Culture through ensuring decisions are focused on: • Events and Festivals • Animation of Public Spaces • Youth • Inclusion • Arts Planning To ensure a robust and supportive environment for Arts and Culture, Council shall: fro, tic "� I^c4.06 CV -1 .Encourage and support the Community Arts Board and their community partners in identifying and addressing key gaps in the Arts, Culture and events offerings of the Central Peninsula.

Incorporating green, sustainable infrastructure into new developments and upgrading existing infrastructure are important steps in creating a community which minimizes the impact on the environment and improves the appeal of life in the Central Peninsula. Ensuring the full potential of existing parks and open spaces is realized is also an important component of fostering healthy, complete neighbourhoods. Experimenting with pocket parks, mobile parks, and parkettes will be an essential part of the effort to bring the natural environment to residents. Initiatives like these can animate neighbourhoods in new and unexpected ways, leading to new perceptions of neighbourhoods that can spark positive growth and change. An environmentally sustainable Central Peninsula will be achieved by focused action on the followinly; priorities: • A green public realm; • Climate change adaptation; and • Green placemaking. To ensure: the Central Peninsula's neighbourhoods are environmentally sustainable and green, Council shall: CG -1 Incorporate low maintenance grass alternatives such as= clover other plant species, in street design where possible.

SEPTEMBER 2014 COMFT 398 88 5.2 The 5 -Year Work Plan The 5 Year Work Plan is an action -based list of projects led by the City or its agencies. These projects may be funded through the City's operating budget, capital budget, or external budget sources. A five year horizon was chosen to concentrate on the immediate delivery of tangiblEr actions with the understanding that projects beyond 2025 will require reassessment of scope. Capital investment timelines are more challenging to predict. The 5 year Work Plan recognizes the need for a range of small to large projects prioritized through the lens of community need and whether they add value. Key future investment priorities for the Central Peninsula include: Investment in existing roads, sidewalks, and underground infrastructure; Upgrading of key public spaces and streetscapes as identified in the Secondary Plan; and E=nhancements to active transportation networks and pedestrian mobility. 5.3 The Community Action Strategy The Central Peninsula Community Action Strategy is a partner document of the Secondary Plan. It is a guide for community led actions that address the economy, Arts and Culture, transportation, housing, parks, and the many other facets which contribcrte to daily life and experience on the Central Peninsula. The strategy was built with the NAT using the information received during community engagement events throughout the Secondary Plan process. The NAT provided the direct and consistent connection back to the community throughout the process, ensuring the, strategy aligned with the vision for the Central Peninsula while respecting the changing needs and priorities in the area. The Cornmunity Action Strategy is intended to be owned by the community and link together existing organizations and agencies to the goals and objectives of the Secondary Plan. It is a document of grassroots initiatives built and implemented with the community, placing the City in the role of community partner. The following section sets the framework for the strategy ensuring future actions align with the guiding principles of the Secondary Plan. Council Shall: IS 9 Adopt, by resolution,, the Central Peninsula Community Action Strategy in coordination ivith the final adoption of the Secondary Plan. 89 CENTRAL PENINSULA PLAN 399 5.4 Intergovernmental And External Agencies The Secondary Plan will require; a strategic approach with other levels of government and external agencies to successfully foster Secondary Plan policies that are beyond the authority of the City. Ongoing collaboration is needed within areas such as affordable housing, a new school on the Central Peninsula, air quality, climate change, provincial roads and highways, and use of Port and Federally owned lands. Plan SJ set the direction for Council to work with the Government of New Brunswick, Government of Canada and e; ternal agencies to realize elements beyond the City's jurisdiction. The Secondary Plan continues to aspire to this collaborative approach. Council :ahall: IS 10 Encourage the Government of New Brunswick to evaluate potential improvements to the pedestrian overpass to the NorthEnd to enhance the pedestrian experience.
