Public Meeting - 147-149 Thorburn Road
The City of St. John’s has received an application from Pro-Tech Construction Ltd. to rezone land at 147-149 Thorburn Road from the Institutional (INST) and Rural Residential Infill (RRI) Zones to the Apartment Medium Density (A2) Zone. The purpose of the rezoning is to accommodate the development of a four-storey apartment building containing twenty-two (22) dwelling units. A Municipal Plan amendment will be required. A Land Use Assessment Report (LUAR) has been submitted to the City and is available for review.
The application will also consider a proposed text amendment to the St. John’s Development Regulations that would revise existing Parking Area requirements. At present the applicant would be required to fence the parking area along Thorburn Road. The proposed amendment would remove that requirement.
Information concerning this application as well as the LUAR may be viewed at the Department of Planning, Development and Engineering, third floor, St. John’s City Hall, please phone 709-576-8220, or email: planning@stjohns.ca.
The Public Meeting will be held on Wednesday, April 27, 2016, at 7 p.m., Foran/Greene Room, fourth floor, City Hall.
