The Community Plan for the Hamlet of Sanikiluaq consists of the following written policy text and zoning by-law and General Land Use Map (Schedule 2) and is complimented by the Background Report. It shall also include any future policy and/or map schedule enacted by Hamlet Council, which falls under the jurisdiction of the Planning Act. kNos5 X1NwDtz 3}vmMs5 nirlx3u Wb3v4tyJ6 mfiz x9MDbsymJi6 moZsJi6 x7ml kNw5 wi9Mymiq5tA5 moZz5tA5 x7ml wlw1zwJ6tA5 kNw5 xg4bsiq5b kNaxq8i GgrjxDt8}ig6 @H sWE/sli si4}vDt4f5. wM3v4gns9li yKi5ti moZsJi6\s=?l8}i5 kN1ax5 grjxDtq5tA5 moZatbsymJ6 3}vmMs5 vtmpq8k5, X1Nwis5 moZzb x}bi9li. The Community Plan is structured to comprise a broad range of policies that affect the use and development of land in the Hamlet of Sanikiluaq. It is important to consult both the policy text and the map schedule to fully understand the impact on the Community Plan on any specific property or any general area of the Hamlet. }b8N kNos5 X1NwDtz }x6rh4ymK6 wMQostymt5yhi x5pQqgi6 moZsJi6 x5gxi3v4vw3v4bgi6 kNu xg8isJi6 wi6yisJi9l kNu6 3}vmM7u nirlx3u.

1.1 Influence on the Community Plan }hi3v4tbsiz kNos5 X1NwDtz The policies of the Community Plan are intended to reflect the changes that are fundamental to the Hamlet of Sanikiluaq’s future. The Hamlet’s traditional land use policies and development pattern, population profile, municipal responsibilities, and Council’s decisions-making autonomy are changing and are expected to evolve. Some of the key factors that are affecting change and will continue to influence the Hamlet’s policy formulation and direction for the future are recognized by this Plan and are briefly outlined as follows: }b4fx moZstbsJ5 kNos5 X1NwDtz5tA5 whmE/symZlx7mb xy5pg8isMzJj5 wMQostMzJk5 3}vmMs5 nirlx3u yKi5nzk5. 3}vmM4f5 xgq8Nbq5 kNw5 xg4bsiqXb moZq5 x7ml wi6yis5 Wix8iz, wkq5b xu}hiq5, 3}vmMs5 kNozb W/6nq5, x7ml vtm}p5 gr}b8iq5b v?moEi7j5 xy5p?9oxmb iEsQ/s5ht9l xqo?9oxbs/MzJ5. wMq5 x}gt3v5yxg5 xy5pisMzJj5 vJyMzK5 x5gxi3v3v5blt5 3}vmMs5 moZq8i6 grjx4ty3v4bMzJi6 yKi5nj5 wobE/sJ5 }b5hjz X1NwDtsJj5 Nw}N6ym9lt5 si4}vbsJ5 w}m6:

1. The development of the Hamlet’s core area where vacant land is scarce requires careful consideration by the approval authority as to the appropriateness of the scale and type of development. wi6yisix4g6 3}vmMs5 kNq5b wiE/q8i6 w9lb5ymw5gi6 xuCw8Nt9lQ5 W5yxlQ whm6nysAbsQx}o5 xq6tsJk5 WA8Nst3v4tbsJk5 N7m}Nym7mb 3vkw5gi6 wi6yF5nsmzb.

2. The Hamlet’s future growth is expected to be derived mainly from land use intensification involving the removal and replacement of outdated buildings and uses, infilling, additional development on underutilized land outside the core and developing more subdivisions to the east of the built area. 3}vmMs5 yKi6nj5 WD6Xoxiz iEsQ/s7m5 Wb5y/aQ/s7m5 kNw5 xg6bsiq5tA5 xr3vQx3v7uJi6 }W6yi8i6 xy5pgCwi8i6 xfiobso4gi6 w9lDxi6 x7ml xg4bsJi6, r2FxbFi8i6, wi6bsym4vi5gi6 wh3Dtb3vlxqgu kNsJu yM}bi5gi6 wi6yFs3v4b}g5 Wb5yviQx3v4tlA X1NwbsymJ6 wi6nsJ6 kNos5 vq9oiE/zi.

3. Environmental conservation and protection of land, water and air is an important issue directly linked to and a function of growth within the Hamlet. The Hamlet must ensure sound environmental planning practices are implemented in the approval of development and redevelopment proposals. x?toEis5 vmE/siz sam/sizl kNs5, wms5 xi3isl W7mEstbsK5 x5gxi3v4ht5 WD6Xoxis5 xsMiE/zb 3}vmMs5. 3}vmMsJ6 iX3v8iu6 x?t7u6 X1Nwym4F3vQx3v7uJ5 moZatym9lA xq6bsymJu wi6yFsix4gu x7ml wi4yviDmstsix4gw5 g5yCstq8k5.

1.2 Purpose of the Plan X1Nwymis5 W5Jtz The purpose of the Sanikiluaq Community Plan is to establish a comprehensive policy framework that will guide the Hamlet’s future decisions regarding the maintenance, development and re-development of its land use system; the conservation and use of its natural resources, and the direction and potential for the Hamlet’s short-term growth and long term changes. In other words, it will outline Council’s policies for managing the physical development of the Hamlet through an efficient and coherent strategy over the next 20 years (till 2029). Flexibility is a crucial ingredient in addressing changing planning needs. The intent of the Community Plan is to guide the orderly development given anticipated periods of limited and negative growth. The Community Plan was created through a community consultation process and reflects the needs and desires of the Community that would like to ensure that the Hamlet functions as a safe, convenient, efficient and healthy environment. The Zoning By-law serves to implement the Community Plan and regulate the development in the Hamlet. }b8N nirlx2 kNozb X1NwDtz W5Jt3v4g6 n6rt5yli wMEostymt9lQ5 moZsJw5 grjx4tyMzJ5 3}vmMs5 yKi6nzk5 gr}bQxo4f5 }x6rhQx3v4gf5, wiQx3v4gk5 x7ml wi6yFsQx9MAmJj5 kNw5 xg4bsix4tlQ5; Wsoxix9lQ5 xg9lQl kNs5 W}bE/q5. s3vsy4f5 xyxA5tlA, gry8Nt5yvi3v4bix7mb vtmp5 moZoxEym/q8i6 yFr5gj5 yFgJj9l}i5 xy5pQx3v3v4bix4gi6. 3vsp4vwAbs3v4bixumb vtm}p5 moZq8i6 xsMbs5yxix3f9lQ5 wi6yis3v4bix4g5 3}vmMsJu whx4gt9lQ5 swAo}E5tlQ5 trst/sAmJ5 @) xCAw5 trst9lQ5 G@)@(H tr9lA.

The Community Plan is enacted by By-law and changes can be made by amending the By-law in accordance with the Nunavut Planning Act. Any amendments should be carefully considered by Council before their approval to ensure the best interests of the general public are being served. The following guidelines will be applied when considering amendments to the Community Plan. kNos5 X1NwDtz wmwQx3v4ymJZlx6 grox4ty9li wi4yis3v4bix4gi6 xCAw5 @) }NChx4tlQ5. kNos5 3}vmMq5 xqo?9oxJ5 bwmw7m5 kNos5 X1NwDtz wmw5gn}mAqgZlx6 vt5y3v4bAtElQ5 wmwozisJi6. kNos5 X1NwDtz moZatbsymK6 moZ5tA5 xy5pbsA8Nht5 }x6}rQx8if5 moZsJi6 mo9lQ5 kN}K5 X1Nwi7j5 moZq5. }x6}rQx8}i5 W5yxbsQx3v4S5 whm6nys4FQlQ5 vtmpk5 xq4bsq8iq8i Wb3v4tyx9lQ5 Wsi4}Xf5 wko}m5 Wp5yyx8ixlQ5. }b4fx grjxD}t5 x}gt/sQx3v4S5 }x6rQx8i3vix4X5 kNos5 X1NwDtzi6.

2 COMMUNITY GROWTH AND PHASING POLICIES kNos5 WD6Xoxiz x7ml xy5pgCw}i5 moZq5

At the time of preparation of this Plan, the population of Sanikiluaq was approximately 744 people (2006 Population Census). This Plan is based on a future population of 1098 people by 2029, however this number may increase or decrease based on the influence of various growth factors. These factors include economic development activity in the region, the natural rate of population growth and in-migration from other communities, among others. It is estimated that an additional 280 dwelling units will be required to meet the projected population growth, representing the need for approximately 26 hectares of land for residential development. A further 6 hectares are required for commercial uses, 8 hectares for community uses, and 8 hectares for industrial uses.

The policies of Council are: vtm}p5 moZstbq5 mfxAK5:

4.2 Commercial }rNs4CnZhx4tkxzJ5 The Commercial designation defines uses such as retail stores, offices, entertainment establishments, restaurants and hotels. The development of a centralized commercial core will continue to be the Community Plan’s primary focus. However, commercial facilities will also be located along the major roads of the Hamlet with the flexibility of allowing residential uses. Such conditional use of commercial facilities as residential establishments can only be allowed provided they conform to the goals, objectives and policies established herein. The adaptability of buildings will allow for future commercial uses in response to changing market conditions. The role of home based business in the Hamlet’s economy is another factor that influences the demand for commercial land. Reducing the number of vacant buildings and lots within the core area of the Hamlet would add to the character of the Hamlet. Developing public amenities including landscaping, street lighting and public seating would also contribute to the character of the Hamlet. }rNsCnZhx4FnsJk5 g}CzJ5 xg8isJw5 kNu6 wmw5}gK5, isF4}F5, x9M}F5, bf8}N/4}F5, iE}F5 x7ml yi6b}F5. wi4yisix4gw5 kNos5 3rtzi vJ}y8Nix6f5 kNos5 X1NwDtzb g}CZQix7ms5. bwmw2X5, }rNs3CnZhx4Fo}m5 w9lDxAJ5 wi6bs3v4bix6f5 x6ftE/sq8N}g5 wMzi 3}vmMsJu 3vkgw8N wME/st9lQ5 xNC3v4FnsJ5. }b4fx moZ5tA5 xg8isJw5 }rNsCnZhx4Fnw5 w9lDxAJ5

5.1 Hamlet Lands Committee 3}vmMs5 kNq5b vtmpq5 In order to allow the Hamlet to facilitate, support and manage the implementation of the Community Plan, an appropriate committee structure will be established and mandated to perform specific land use planning responsibilities. The general duties and responsibilities of the Hamlet’s Lands Committee are contained in this section. 3}vmMsJ Wb3v4ty3f9lA, nS5p3f9lA x7ml xsM5y3f9lA moZsJi6 kNos5 X1NwDtzi5gi6, }N7m}N6ymJw5 grxkxz9lt5 wi9MtbsMzK5 n6rix4tlQ5 to/symMzK5 Wix8i3v3f/slt5 s3}v/sJi6 kNw5 xgD8Nbsiq8k5 X1NwAtsJ4tA5 W/4n3vMzK5, W/4nEMz/q5 wl8}Nk5 3}vmMs5 kN3ftq5b vtmps3vbslt5 wmw5gi6 W/4n3v9lt5. The Lands Committee is a standing committee appointed by Council. It consists of at least one member of Hamlet Council (who is the chair) and appointed members of the general public. The committee is given a broad mandated to recommend changes to the land use planning policy and regulations. Within this mandate, the Committee must maintain confidence in the integrity of the planning process, protect public interest on behalf of Council, better define roles and relationships between stakeholders in the planning process, focus more closely on protecting municipal buildings and infrastructure, the natural environment and making the planning process more timely and efficient. The Committee must also deal with matters that impact land use decisions within the Hamlet. kNoEi7j5 vtm}p5 vtmpE/sK5 t4fxbsym5ht5 vtmpk5. vtmp3v6hi vtmpi6 WymJu Gw5y?sbsM7ulH t4fxbsymJi6 wMsJ3v4tlA wko}mi6 WymJi6. vtm}p5 gipFsym9lt5 topstu6 wmw}mAt3v3v4blt5 xy5pgx4Xb kNs5 xg4bsi5nqb X1NwAtq5 moZwl}i5. b=?i topstsJu, vtm}p5 X1Nwis5 Wix8izi6 wlwzt9lA sWE/3vQx3v4S5, samlQ5 wko}m5 W5JtElQ5 vtm}p5 rCg9lQ5, Wsi4nu6 W/4nq5 si4}vbsym5yxt9lQ5 wMQostymJ}/9lQ5 wMsJ5 X1Nwi6 Wixi3v4Fst9lA, bf8NChx5yxlQ5 samlQ5 kNos5 3}vmMzb w9lDx3ftq5 x7ml wi6ym/q5, yMs9l x?tz x7ml X1NwisJ6 }N7m}N6ymt9lA WF5nj5 whx4}glil. vtm}p5 vmE/3vQx3vQK5 Wix8iE/sJi6 kNw5 xg4bsiq5b gr}bDbsymJi6 3}vmMsJu. While it is the Committee that advises Council on planning matters, it is the Community Plan and Zoning By-law that provides the Committee with the authority to plan and set out procedural requirements to ensure equity and due process in planning decisions. In addition, the Committee must articulate municipal directions to provide a context for municipal planning decisions. It is recommended that the Committee’s role should also be formalized to provide advice and recommendations to Council with respect to special planning projects that require operating or capital funds to advance these projects and/or programs. kNoEi7j5 vtm}p5 wmw}m3v5bQx}o5 vtmpi6 X1Nw}i5 kNu6 W5JtElQ5, kNos9l X1NwDtq5 x7ml kNw5 wi9Mymiq5b moZq5 Wb4v6tyt9lQ5 kNs5 vtmpq8i6 WA8Nst3v4tbs5ht5 X1NwA8Nlt5 wos6vwlt9l Wix8isQx3v4gi6 W3fpsti6 N7m}N6yQx3v9lt5 X1Nwis9l gr}bAbsQx3v8iq8i6. wMQx9lA, kNs5 vtmpq5 si4}vA8NQx}o5 kNos5 3|vmMzb grjx8iEQxozi6 Wb3vix4tlA gr}bQxo8i6 kNos5 3}vmMzb X1NwAtq5tA5 gr}bDti6. wmw3fpstb3v7uJ6 kNs5 vtmpq5b W/4nq5 }x6rhQx3v9lQ5 Wb3v4tlQ5 wmwQx3v8isJi6 vtmpk5 W5JtElQ5 xJCw5gw5 X1NwAtsJ5 xsM5yix4Xb s=?l8}i5 }rNs/3ftE/sJw5 g1zFq8i6 }rNs/4gMzJ}/4Xb g6Fsix4g}/4tlQ5 Wix8iE/six4g5.

5.2 The Development Officer wi6y?9oxJoEp6 The Development Officer is a key resource person to the Committee and Council. This individual’s role is to make recommendations to Committee and Council regarding development proposals and special issues/inquiries that are brought forward by local residents, public agencies, boards and special interest groups. These planning and development related matters are both formal and informal in nature. wi6y?9oxJoEp6 g1zFsK6 Wb3v4tsli kNw5 vtmpkxzJi6 vtmp7mE8kl. }b5hm w}k5 W/4nq5 wmw}mDtos3v4bli kNw5 vtmpq8k5 vtmp7mE8kl W5JtElQ5 wi6y?9oxis5 g5yCstq8i6 x7ml xJCw5gw5 W5Jbst9lQ5 gi/FisJ5 kNos5 wkq8k5, wko}m5 r3Cg4tq8k5, vtmpk5 x7ml xJCw5goEpk5. }b4fx X1NwDtsJ5 x7ml wi6y?9oxisJ5 Wix8i3v4FsQx3v8iq5 vmNiE/slt5 x7ml W7mEsqvlx4Xb Wsyq5. In essence, the Development Officer performs multiple functions to ensure that development within the Hamlet is consistent with goals of the Community Plan. These functions include current and long term planning, the review of site and development plans, and providing technical support to the Committee and Council. These are circumstances that require the use of advisory agencies, consultants, special training and certification to strengthen and assist the role of planning and development of the Hamlet. The Committee should be aware of expert advice and make the appropriate recommendations to Council for training and special courses when deemed appropriate. bwmwJ5nm5, }b8N wi6y?9oxJoEps5 W/4nq5 xqi4Xst9lA Wixi3v4F3v9li h6fwmN6gu6 }b4fx wi6yisix4g5 3}vmM7u grjxQx3v8iq8k5 g}CZsJ4tA5 kNos5 X1NwDtzi6. }b4fx Wix8iE/six4g5 wM3v7ult5 s9luj5gi6 x7ml yFgJj5 X1NwisJj5, 3vspn3v4blQ5 wi6nsJw5 x7ml wi6yis5 X1NwDtq5, x7ml Wb3v4tlQ5 moZ5tA5gi6 nS5}pi8i6 kNw5 vtmpq8i6 x7ml vtmp7mE8i6. bm4fxAK5 bwmw4vwJ5 bwmw3fps}t5 xg4bsix9lt5 wmwix6fMpsJi6, 3vspQx4FstbsJi6, xJCw5gu6 won4bsJ3vi3v6tlA x7ml wobE/sAt3v9li }hysut9lA r3Cg9lAl WixiE/stbsJ6 X1Nwi4tA5 x7ml wi6y?9oxi6tA5 3}vmM7u. }b4fx kNs5 vtmpq5 3vspmQx3v4S5 3vspmJw5 wvJ4yiEix4bq8i6 N7m}N6ymJi6 wmw7}mAtos3v4blt5 vtmp7mEk5 wonQx3v8ik5 x7ml xJCw5g3vo4X5 won6FsQx3v5gE/6 }N7mo4X5.

5.3 Zoning By-law kNw5 wi9Mymiq5b moZq5 The Zoning By-law will be used to guide and implement the policies in this Community Plan in accordance with applicable statutes such as the Planning Act and the National Building Code. All development must conform to the intent of the Community Plan and Zoning By-law. Changes to this plan can only be made by amending the Community Plan Bylaw in accordance with Sections 24 to 29 of the Planning Act. }b4fx kNs5 wi9Mymiq5b moZq5 xg4bs?2S5 grjxDtQ5hQ5 x7ml moZ1atylt5 moZsJi6 b=?i kNos5 X1NwDtq8i mo9lQ5 moZos4Fu moZ1atbF}i5 X1Nwis5 moZzb g1zFzi x7ml }vNbs5 w9lDxoEis5 moZq8i. xy5pQx3vMz2Xb }b5hm X1NwDts}J5 xy5p/sA8Nlt5 }x6rQxAtos9lt5 kNos5 X1NwAtE/q5b moZq8i6 mo9lQ5 xF5gymJ5 @$u @(j5 X1Nwis5 moZq5b g1zFzi6.

5.4 Legal Non-Conforming Uses moZ5tA1qgw5 xg8isJw5 Any land use which was lawfully in existence on the day of passing of the Zoning By-law may continue to exist and shall be considered as a legal non-conforming use provided that it continues to be used for its original purpose.

It is the general policy of the Hamlet to encourage long term use of land to be in conformity with the policies of the Community Plan and the uses permitted in the Zoning By-law. Ultimately, the Hamlet should encourage sites containing non-conforming uses to be converted to uses in conformity with the Community Plan and the Zoning By-law. wlw1zwJu6 moZstbsK6 3}vmMsJj5 sz3f9lQ5 yFgJu6 kNu6 xg8i3v3f9lA grjx4gi6 moZQ/slt5 kNos5 X1NwDtz5tA x7ml xgD8Nst3v4tbslt5 kNs5 }x3rh4ymiq5b moZq5tA5. wlwzt9lQ9l, b8N 3}vmMsJ6 szE/3vQx3v4S6 wi5bsJw5 Wb3v4g5 xg8isJi6 grxDqgi6 grxDto9lQ5 kNos5 X1NwDtz5tA5 x7ml kNw5 }x6rh4ymiq5b moZq5tA5. Where a non-conforming use is clearly incompatible with or a hazard to adjacent uses, is associated with some form of damage in the surrounding area, or otherwise interferes with the implementation of the Community Plan, the Hamlet may acquire the property to terminate the use or may exchange land to provide for the relocation of the use to a more appropriate area. wmw2X5 xg8isJw5 grjxqgi6 bf5nsJ4f5 vtm/sQx3vqgi6 s=?l8}i5 x5bNix4tlA kNsJj5 x5gxli s3}v/sJj5, y3fubFist9lA wisJu, s=?l8}i5 whw9oz4vwix4X5 moZstbsJu6 kNos5 X1NwDtzi5gu6, }b8N 3}vmMsJ6 kN3ft}bD8NS5 }Wix9lA xgDbsymJ6 s=?l8}i5 xy5pstbst9lA kNsJ6 wisJj5 grxD8inj5.
