Public Meeting - 288 Back Line

Tue, 2013/11/26 - 7:00pm

The City of St. John’s will hold a Public Meeting to discuss the proposed redevelopment of land at Civic Number 288 Back Line. The redevelopment will require an amendment to the St. John’s Municipal Plan to change the designation from Open Space (O) District and Agricultural (AG) District to the Rural (R) District and Agricultural (AG) District.

The redevelopment will also require an amendment to the St. John’s Development Regulations to change the zoning from the Open Space (O) Zone and Agricultural (AG) Zone to the Rural Residential Infill (RRI) Zone and Agricultural (AG) Zone.

This application is to develop the front (eastern) portion of the property so it is possible for the rear (western) portion of the parcel to remain in the Agricultural (AG) Zone. Therefore, this rezoning application is to amend the Open Space (O) Zone portion of the property to the Rural Residential Infill (RRI) Zone.
