1. ADMINISTRATION
This Municipal Plan has been prepared in accordance with Sections 24 to
27 of the New Brunswick Community Planning Act, SNB 2017, c. 19 (the
“CPA”). The CPA requires municipalities to prepare a Municipal Plan to
guide decisions affecting land use and to review those plans every
10 years. Section 27 of the CPA explains that the adoption of a municipal
plan does not commit a municipality or the Province to undertake a
proposal outlined in the plan but prevents the undertaking of a
development in any manner inconsistent with a proposal or policy outlined
or suggested in the plan.
A Municipal Plan is a living document and may be amended from time to
time as determined to be appropriate by Town Council. The Municipal
Plan is implemented through actioning the policies that lie within and
through the Zoning and Subdivision By-laws. Should a conflict exist
between the Municipal Plan and the Zoning or Subdivision By-law, the
Municipal Plan prevails.

2.3 ENGAGEMENT RESULTS
Community engagement took place between summer 2019 and winter
2020. The Town used online surveys, social media, public open houses,
one-on-one stakeholder interviews, and focus groups with residents and
stakeholders. An analysis of the feedback received led to the identification
of key interest points which provide the foundation of this Plan.
1. The desire for an approach to affordable housing that would
accommodate seniors, families, and new residents;
2. The desire to diversify the employment base and attract new
sources of economic development;
3. The desire to build on the Town’s history of high quality festivals to
attract new, innovative festivals and events specifically to the
historic downtown;
4. The desire to be a welcoming, inclusive community to newcomers;
5. The desire for the economy and the population to grow;
6. The desire to provide high quality, safe, and accessible public
spaces including sidewalks, streets, trails, parks, and bike lanes;
and
7. The desire to be prepared for and adapt to the effects of Climate
Change.
2.4 MUNICIPAL PLAN VISION
A direction for the Town’s approach to nurturing community and managing
land use was created using the public feedback co llected throughout the
engagement phase of this Plan. The vision focuses on providing a good
quality of life for all residents and ensuring responsible and sustainable
growth and development is the priority over the lifespan of the Plan.
3
The Town’s vision for this Plan is:
The Town of Sussex is a welcoming community which respects its
heritage while forging an exciting path to the future. It offers residents an
enhanced quality of life through scenic views, historic architecture, well-
appointed parks and recreation facilities, and a growing list of amenities
and services. As the Town continues to evolve, it balances its small town
atmosphere with sustainable economic development, positioning itself as
a great place to call home.
2.5 MUNICIPAL PLAN OBJECTIVES
The following objectives direct a path to achieving the Town’s vision.
These objectives act as guiding principles for the Plan. They articulate the
steps that, if undertaken, will realize the Town’s vision.
The objectives of the Plan are:
1. Provide for orderly development without sacrificing the values and
needs of the community;
2. Increase density in a responsible manner through the provision of a
thoughtful and appropriate mix of housing types throughout the
Town which are responsive to a broad range of the population
including seniors, renters, and families;
3. Foster a high quality public realm, creating a safe and enjoyable
pedestrian experience;
4. Facilitate a community that allows residents to age in place;
5. Provide for agricultural land within the Town for active farms to
continue the rich agricultural heritage that shaped the Town;
6. Support the Downtown as the Town’s centre and the hub for
festivals, events, and small business;
7. Provide a framework for the efficient movement of people, goods,
and services through the Town; and
8. Provide a framework for adapting to a changing climate including
the preservation and mitigation of environmentally sensitive and
valuable lands.
4
3. LAND USE DESIGNATIONS
The following sections detail the use of lands within the Town including
projected future land use. Defining Future Land Uses for all lands within
the Town in a way that responds to the community’s vision adds clarity for
developers, property owners, residents, business owners, and potential
investors. The Town’s Future Land Uses are provided through land use
designations within the Future Land Use Map in Schedule A. The Future
Land Use Map provides a reasonable framework for how the Town will
evolve through the lifetime of the Plan. Should Town Council wish t o
explore annexation of surrounding lands and communities, an
amendment to the Plan to include and plan for land use in these areas will
be required. Any new areas incorporated into the Town’s boundary will be
subject to the policies of this Plan.
The land use designations within the Town and delineated on the Future
Land Use map in Schedule A are:
Neighbourhood Residential
Medium to High Density Residential
Downtown Core
General Commercial
Industrial
Agricultural
Green Belt
Parks, Recreation, and Open Space
Institutional and Community Services
Federal Lands
LU-1 Council shall adopt the Future Land Use Map (Schedule A) to direct
future development that supports the Town’s vision for the community.
LU-2 Council shall consider schools, churches, and othe r community use
facilities as appropriate in any land use designation and shall provide for
their appropriate siting through provisions in the Zoning By-law.
LU-3 Council shall ensure all proposed development is in keeping with the
Zoning, Subdivision, Water and Sewerage By-laws and any other Town
by-laws deemed relevant to assessing an application.
5
3.1 RESIDENTIAL
3.1.1 Neighbourhood Residential
The Neighbourhood Residential land use designation is applied to the
Town’s existing residential areas. These areas represent intact
neighbourhood patterns with predominantly single dwellings, townhouses,
and row houses. It is expected that areas with predominantly single family
dwellings will evolve over time. This land use designation allows for
flexibility while protecting neighbourhood character. As these areas evolve
and demand for multi-unit buildings increase, higher density
developments may be appropriately sited on the periphery of established
neighbourhoods.
LU-4 Council shall create the Neighbourhood Residential land use
designation on the Future Land Use Map (Schedule A).
LU-5 Council shall provide for a mix of residential housing types in the
Neighbourhood Residential land use designation through appropriate land
use provisions in the Zoning By-law.
LU-6 Council shall encourage new residential development within the
Neighbourhood Residential land use designation to be respectful of the
neighbourhood character of the area through sensitive design and
landscape considerations.
LU-7 Council shall, where possible, provide for increasingly dense
housing types close to neighbourhood entrances, serviced by collector or
arterial streets.
LU-8 Council shall provide for neighbourhood commercial and home
occupation uses within the Neighbourhood Residential land use
designation through provisions in the Zoning By-law.
3.1.2 Medium to High Density Residential
The Medium to High Density Residential land use designation is applied
to areas where multi-unit dwellings exist or where existing infrastructure is
suited to the siting of increased density. Appropriate areas may include
those near collector or arterial streets where the impact of increased
traffic would be minimal; areas near clustered services like retail, health,
and education services; and areas representing transition s between
residential and commercial uses. More dense housing types will allow for
6
more efficient use of land while also accommodating a broader range of
the Town’s population.
LU-9 Council shall create the Medium to High Density Residential land
use designation on the Future Land Use Map (Schedule A).
LU-10 Council shall provide for an appropriate mix of multi-unit residential
housing types in the Medium to High Density land use designation
through appropriate provisions in the Zoning By-law.
LU-11 Council shall encourage increasingly dense, multi-unit housing
types in appropriately designated areas to ensure effective and efficient
use of land and infrastructure while limiting impacts on lower density,
residential neighbourhood and local streets.
LU-12 Should a single family dwelling be proposed in the Medium to High
Density Residential land use designation, Council shall ensure the
development:
a. Has frontage on a local road with the proposed dwelling oriented
towards the local road;
b. Is flanked by single dwellings;
c. Is proposed on a lot which is found to be undersized according to
the standards prescribed in the Zoning By-law;
d. Should the adjacent lot be vacant, the single dwelling be oriented
towards the local road upon which it has frontage;
Should the proposed single family development not meet the above
criteria, an amendment to the Future Land Use Map (Schedule A) to
redesignate the proposed site will be required.
LU-13 Council shall provide for neighbourhood commercial uses within
the Medium to High Density Residential land use designation through
provisions in the Zoning By-law.
3.2 COMMERCIAL
3.2.1 Downtown Core
The historic Downtown is the cultural centre of the Town and is home to a
strong contingent of small businesses including shops, restaurants, and
personal services. Residents take pride in their Downtown and identified it
as a priority during the engagement phases of this Plan. There is
recognition that the vitality of the Downtown is reflective of the capacity for
the Town to meet and exceed its pot ential. With this in mind, the Town
7
can play a significant role in revitalizing the Downtown including exploring
façade improvement programs, directing urban design interventions to the
Downtown built environment, and providing a schedule for routine
maintenance and operations, such as sidewalk clearing, in the area. The
Downtown Core land use designation captures the importance of the
Town’s Downtown and directs a broad range of residential and
commercial uses facilitating a development pattern that reflects the
traditional mixed use common in historic downtowns.
LU-14 Council shall create the Downtown Core land use designation on
the Future Land Use Map (Schedule A).
LU-15 Council shall provide for an appropriate mix of land uses in the
Downtown Core land use designation through appropriate provisions in
the Zoning By-law.
LU-16 Council shall recognize the Town’s Downtown as a significant
community place and an important economic, social, and cultural ce ntre
through encouraging new developments to respect the historic character
of the area.
LU-17 Council shall explore new approaches to revitalization and infill
development in the Downtown Core land use designation to encourage
the long term vitality of the area.
3.2.2 General Commercial
Commercial lands outside of the Downtown are designated General
Commercial. This allows for more flexibility when applying provisions of
the Zoning By-law and encourages a wider range of land uses throughout
the Town. As the Town’s economy continues to evolve, it will be
increasingly important to be responsive to the changing needs of
employers and employees. The Commercial General land use
designation supports the Town’s entrepreneurial spirit while supporting
economic diversification.
LU-18 Council shall create the General Commercial land use designation
on the Future Land Use Map (Schedule A).
LU-19 Council shall provide for an appropriate mix of land uses in the
General Commercial land use designation through appropriate provisions
in the Zoning By-law.
LU-20 Council shall encourage the future development of large format
8
retail and service such as big-box retail development, to continue to be
concentrated around Gateway Mall to encourage a regional service centre
and to ensure the effective use of existing services and large parking
pads.
3.3 INDUSTRIAL
Industrial lands are important to the Town’s employment base and
business attraction. The Town provides good quality, serviced lands for
industrial development. Existing industrial development is concentrated in
the Sussex Industrial Park and in the area north of Maple Avenue and
west of Morrow Avenue. These areas have transportation challenges
including access to the highway and intersections that are challenging to
navigate for transport trucks and vehicles with wide loads. Land
constraints are increasing as residential development is encroaching into
areas traditionally designated for industrial uses. The development of an
incorporated Industrial Park would provide substantial protections against
the releasing of industrial lands for non-industrial uses.
LU-21 Council shall create the Industrial land use designation on the
Future Land Use Map (Schedule A).
LU-22 Council shall provide for an appropriate mix of uses in the Industrial
land use designation through appropriate provisions in the Zoning By-law.
LU-23 Council shall amend this Plan to designate the Sussex Industrial
Park as its own land use designation upon it becoming incorporated.
LU-24 Council shall encourage the development and expansion of the
Sussex Industrial Park when the following criteria can be met in whole or
in part:
a. Proximity and accessibility to Highway 1;
b. Minimal traffic impacts on existing residential neighbourhoods;
c. Compatibility with existing land uses;
d. Implementation of adequate storm wate r management and other
necessary measures to minimize environmental degradation;
e. High standard of landscaping in locations of high visibility at the
street frontage; and
f. The use of buffering with landscaping, berms, fencing and other
means of permanent physical separation between industrial and
non-industrial uses.
LU-25 Council shall not permit the development of offensive and noxious
industry that will have a negative impact on the land, air, or water.
9
LU-26 Council shall work with the Provincial Government and the
Regional Service Commission to direct industrial development to the
Sussex Industrial Park by ensuring that proposed development is:
a. environmentally sustainable;
b. compatible with the pattern of land use within the Town;
c. complimentary to the Town’s industrial policies and strategy; and
d. not adversely affecting the development of the Sussex Industrial
Park.
LU-27 Council shall encourage the relocation of existing industrial uses
which are incompatible with surrounding land uses and shall:
a. consider incentives to assist in relocating industry where possible;
and
b. encourage the redesignation and redevelopment of former
industrial lands to more compatible land use designations.
3.4 AGRICULTURE
Agriculture is the foundation upon which the Town was built. The area is
rich in agricultural history and that history shapes the culture and image of
the Town. There are limited operational farms within the Town’s boundary
however the lands surrounding are predominately agricultural lands. The
Province of New Brunswick introduced their Agricultural Lands Protection
Policy in 2017 which aimed to use land use planning tools to protect
agricultural lands and enhance agricultural opportunity by limiting
development encroachment. It targets the preservation of active and
productive agricultural lands to ensure the longevity of the industry. The
Agricultural land use designation seeks to protect these lands from
residential, commercial, and industrial encroachment over the lifespan of
this Plan, preserving the Town’s agricultural culture, and allowing the area
to be more adaptive and resilient to the effects of Climate Change.
LU-28 Council shall create the Agricultural land use designation on the
Future Land Use Map (Schedule A) thereby preserving the existing
farmland within the Town boundary.
LU-29 Council shall provide for an appropriate mix of land uses in the
Agriculture land use designation through appropriate provisions in the
Zoning By-law.
10
LU-30 Council shall encourage the preservation of operational farm land
within the Town and limit residential, commercial, and industrial
encroachment through the implementation of the policies within this Plan
and the provisions of the Zoning By-law.
LU-31 Council shall consider the conversion or reversion of farm land
where land owners initiate the adaptation of vacant lands to active farm
land.
3.5 GREEN BELT
The Green Belt land use designation identifies areas throughout the Town
which have environmental significance and must be managed to protect
their integrity and function. Areas of scenic environmental and wildlife
habitat, river banks, and wetlands are designated to limit land use
intensity in these areas allowing minimal human interference to natural
systems. Undeveloped areas prone to flooding may be designated Green
Belt where possible in an effort to limit risk to development and to allow
for the natural recession of flood and storm waters.
LU-32 Council shall create the Green Belt land use designation on the
Future Land Use Map (Schedule A) with the intention o f protecting areas
of environmental significance including but not limited to : wetlands, river
banks, waterbodies, and well fields and other potential drinking water
sources.
LU-33 Council shall designate lands within 30 metres of water bodies as
Green Belt in keeping with the Province of New Brunswick’s Watercourse
and Wetland Alteration Regulation – Clean Water Act.
LU-34 Council shall provide for an appropriate mix of passive land use in
the Green Belt land use designation through appropriate provisions in the
Zoning By-law.
LU-35 Council shall designate lands of environmental significance as
Green Belt and, should development be existing on these lands, permit
the existing land uses to continue through the Non -Conforming Use
provisions outlined in the CPA.
3.6 PARKS AND RECREATION
The Parks and Recreation land use designation is applied to existing park
space and recreation facilities throughout the Town. The Town enjoys a
11
wide variety of parks and natural areas including a linear trail system that
continues to develop. These areas and facilities are important as they
enhance the quality of life for residents and attract visitors to the Town. As
the Town evolves over time, it will be important to monitor the use and
quality of parks and facilities to ensure they are meeting the year round
needs of the community.
LU-36 Council shall create the Parks and Recreation land use designation
on the Future Land Use Map (Schedule A) and continue to develop,
enhance, and deliver high quality recreational services, facilities, and
opportunities for the benefit of all Town residents.
LU-37 Council shall provide for an appropriate mix of uses in the Parks
and Recreation land use designation through appropriate provisions in the
Zoning By-law.
LU-38 Council shall strive to provide a variety of year-round recreational
activities that are accessible to all Town residents.
LU-39 Council shall ensure the compatibility of adjacent uses through
effective application of the Zoning By-law and may require buffering
between Parks and Recreation land uses and adjacent land uses in the
form of vegetation, fencing, or design elements.
3.7 INSTITUTIONAL AND COMMUNITY SERVICES
The intention of the Institutional and Community Services land use
designation is to provide appropriate lands for schools and healthcare
facilities and their associated uses. Concentrating these services in a
particular area allows for increased ease of access and efficient use of
land and municipal infrastructure. This ensures any new health care
facilities will be located in the vicinity of existing facilities. This also allows
schools to allocate additional lands for future recreational fields or school
expansions.
LU-40 Council shall create an Institutional and Community Services land
use designation on the Future Land Use map (Schedule A) and include all
schools and health care facilities within this designation.
LU-41 Council shall provide for an appropriate mix of uses in the
Institutional and Community Services land use designation through
appropriate provisions in the Zoning By-law.
12
LU-42 Council shall ensure new health services have appropriate frontage
onto an arterial or collector road to limit impacts of traffic on residential
neighbourhoods.
LU-43 Council shall encourage supportive housing of a larger scale to
locate within the Institutional and Community Services land use
designation with smaller scale facilities dispersed throughout the Town.
The provisions for supportive housing are provided through the Zoning
By-law.
3.8 FEDERAL LANDS
Federal Lands within the Town are designated separately as they are not
subject to municipal regulations under the CPA. The Town will continue to
work with the Federal Government to advocate for adherence to the
Town’s Plan and By-laws.
LU-44 Council shall create a Federal Lands land use designation on the
Future Land Use Map (Schedule A). Lands designated Federal Lands will
be zoned Federal Lands in the Zoning By-law.
LU-45 Council shall encourage the Federal Government to follow the
policies set out in the Plan and provisions described in the Town’s by-laws
when considering development on Federal lands within the Town.
13
4. 4. GENERAL POLICIES
The following sections articulate policies that are applicable throughout
the Town. Council and appropriate committees will consider these policies
in their decision making and through the implementation of this plan.
4.1 Housing
The predominant housing type throughout the Town are single family
dwellings. As the demographics of the Town evolve, the demand for
different types of housing will increase. The housing market is changing
and multi-unit, townhouses, and row houses are becoming increasingly
popular as they provide for less maintenance and more efficient land use.
These more dense housing types also provide for broader range of
affordability than the traditional single family home.
The Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation defines housing as
affordable when a household spends less than 30% of its pre -tax income
on adequate shelter. Although a municipality does not have legislative
authority to dictate the cost of housing or to market housing to a specific
segment of the population, the Town can advocate for quality housing for
its residents. Ensuring potential investors and developers understand the
Town’s housing market needs, including anticipated demographic
changes will improve the likelihood that new housing will be built to the
Town’s needs.
H-1 Council shall encourage and advocate for affordable housing
including the addition of affordable units within multi-unit market housing
when working with potential investors and developers.
H-2 Council shall advocate for the inclusion of housing to accommodate
ageing populations when working with potential investors and developers.
H-3 Council shall undertake a housing market analysis to understand the
current housing stock and how demographic changes will affect housing
needs.
H-4 Council shall identify appropriate areas and standards for supportive
care facilities through provisions in the Zoning By-law, ensuring these
14
facilities are located throughout the community to ensure connectivity and
proximity to services.
H-5 Council shall create guidelines and standards in the Zoning By-law
which provide for the development of secondary and garden suites in
residential areas of the Town to allow for multi-generational living and
aging in place.
H-6 Council shall create guidelines and standards in the Zoning By-law
which provide for boarding and rooming houses, and group care facilities
through conditional approval as provided under the CPA.
4.2 Economic Development and Population Growth
The economic well-being of the Town is a priority of Town Council and
identified as a priority by the community throughout the Plan process. The
Town’s Downtown was identified as a vital asset to the long term
economic health of the Town and recognized as a vital component of
business, population, and tourist attraction. The Town’s commercial and
industrial land assets including the Gateway Mall Highway Service Centre
and the Sussex Industrial Park, as well as the presence of economic
development resources including the Sussex Downtown Business
Improvement Area and the Sussex and District Chamber of Commerce
position the Town for economic growth. The policies below direct Town
Council to capitalize on its existing assets in a way that will encourage
employment diversification and encourage a welcoming environment for
business and industry.
ED-1 Council shall encourage economic development through continued
partnerships with Sussex Downtown Business Association Inc. and the
Sussex and District Chamber of Commerce.
ED-2 Council shall explore updating its Economic Development S trategy
to reflect current conditions and to align with the Plan.
ED-3 Council shall advocate for sustainable economic development and
the growth of employment opportunities in industries such as but not
limited to education, health, light industry, agriculture, manufacturing,
technology, transportation, distribution, tourism, retail, and service.
ED-4 Council shall advocate for the Town as a regional centre for services
for both government and service industry activities, promoting the Town’s
strategic location as an asset and opportunity.
15
4.2.1 Downtown
ED-5 Council shall support the Downtown as the vibrant hub of the Town
and prioritize service delivery and investment in the area.
ED-6 Council shall work with Sussex Downtown Business Association Inc.
to explore beautification incentive programs to assist property owners and
business operators to clean-up properties and upgrade facades.
ED-7 Council shall explore right-of-way design options and improvements
that would increase pedestrian comfort and safety including the addition
of crosswalks and appropriately sited traffic calming road designs
throughout the Downtown.
ED-8 Council shall continue to support the Downtown as the central
location for festivals and events which contribute to the vibrancy and
culture of the community.
4.2.2 Sussex Mall
ED-9 Council shall seek partnerships with Sussex Downtown Business
Association Inc. and the Sussex and District Chamber of Commerce to
promote the redevelopment of Sussex Mall through targeted economic
development activities.
ED-10 Council shall consider the redevelopment of Sussex Mall land area
through an integrated development scheme or a development agreement
and encourage the redevelopment to include a variety of land uses
including residential, commercial, and institutional.
4.2.3 Population Growth
ED-11 Council shall explore the development of a Population Growth
Framework which looks at attracting new residents to the Town over the
long-term and beyond the lifespan of this Plan.
16
4.3 Transportation
The Town has a well-established network of local streets, collector roads,
and arterial roads that service the Town’s land uses an d are accessed by
Route 1 with two exits, one that serves the highway commercial area
around Gateway Mall and the other servicing the Town’s industrial areas.
Currently, some traffic congestion occurs on Main Street between the
Downtown and the Gateway Mall area. As intensification in this area
continues, the need for a coordinated approach to transportation will be
required.
T-1 Council shall undertake a Transportation Master Plan to effectively
provide for the safe movement of people, goods, and servi ces throughout
the Town.
T-2 Council shall work with the Province of New Brunswick to advocate for
regular and adequate maintenance of provincially designated
transportation assets throughout the Town.
T-3 Council shall work with local interest groups to ensure right-of-way
design follows universal design principles to ensure increased
accessibility throughout the Town.
T-4 Council shall designate a hierarchy of roads within the Town
composed of local, collector, and arterial roads. The hierarches of roads
appears on the Future Land Use Map (Schedule A) and are define as
follows:
a) Local Roads – Provide direct land access to individual properties.
Local roads are typically designed to carry low traffic volumes for
short distances and normally connect to other local roads and/or
collectors. Minimum right-of-way width is 20 metres.
b) Collector Roads - Provide land access and traffic movement with
equal importance. Collector roads typically carry traffic between
local and arterial roads. Minimum right-of-way width is 20 metres.
