Application - 200-232 Newfoundland Drive
The City of St. John’s has received an application to redevelop Virginia Park Plaza for residential and commercial use. The applicant wishes to add two storeys to the existing building in the plaza, converting it to a five-storey condominium building; build a second five-storey condominium building on the other side of the plaza; and build a small two-storey building near the front of the property for commercial and office use. This would require a rezoning of the site from the Commercial Neighbourhood (CN) Zone to the Commercial Office Hotel (COH) Zone. There would be approximately 262 condominium units, with on-site parking. The applicant has prepared a land-use assessment report (LUAR) under the terms of reference set by Council. The report is posted under 'Background Information' below.
