Supporting Study:Servicing & Density
• Bridgwater Town Centre NASP encourages higher-densities within the Commercial Mixed Use Policy Area.
• This is required to support local commercial establishments & is not consistent to CMU zoning standards.
• Servicing Study conducted in Jan 2021 compares potential density to the built/proposed densities:
• 2586 potential units
• 1718 proposed/built units
• Town Centre has sufficient servicing capacity for the development proposal of 155 units.

Supporting Studies:Shadow Study
• The following diagram analyzes potential shadow impact onto neighbouringland uses
• The study includes the proposed development and “The Bravado” at full build out
• Results indicate minimal shadow impact during the spring and summer equinox

Public Hearing Presentation Slide 14
Supporting Studies:Shadow Study
• The properties will not be impacted during the Fall Equinox
• The commercial land uses and northern most Townhomes to the North will experience increased shadow during the winter months when the sun is at its lowest (sunrise & sunset)
• The proposed development is anticipated to meet the City’s sunlight requirements & will not adversely impact neighbouring properties
