The Public is advised that the City of Corner Brook is considering amendments to its 2012 Integrated Municipal Sustainability Plan (IMSP) and 2012 Development Regulations, as per the following:
The Planning and Development Department received a development proposal for 11 O’Connell Drive (the ‘Subject Property’) to expand the parking lot associated with the place of worship use. The Subject Property is currently split zoned ‘Residential Low Density’ (RLD) and ‘Community Services’ (CS). Regulation 129 of the 2012 Development Regulations state:
“Uses that do not fall within the Permitted Use Classes or Discretionary Use Classes set out in the appropriate Use Zone Tables in Schedule C, shall not be permitted in that Use Zone.”
The “place of worship” use is not set out in the RLD use zone tables and therefore the expansion of the associated parking lot is prohibited. The purpose of this rezoning is to allow for the expansion of the parking lot associated with the place of worship use. Upon approval, all engineering requirements will need to be met before construction permits will be granted. The purpose of this map amendment is thus to rezone the Subject Property from ‘Residential Low Density’ (RLD) to ‘Community Services’ (CS).
Council requests that anyone wishing to provide comments on the proposed amendments do so in writing by Friday, January 3rd, 2025. A response to this public notice shall form part of the public record. If you do not wish your name attributed to the comment, please advise the City in your response. Anyone wishing to inspect a copy of the proposed amendments may do so by visiting City Hall during normal business hours, by contacting the Planning Office at 637-1578, or by visiting the City’s Municipal Plan Amendment page.
