Public Meeting - 200-232 Newfoundland Drive
Regal Realty Limited has applied to the City to rezone property at 200-232 Newfoundland Drive ('Virginia Plaza') to the Commercial Office Hotel (COH) Zone. This is to allow enlargement of the existing building from two storeys to five storeys and construction of a second five storey building. The two buildings would be occupied by a total of 232 apartment dwelling units. About half the area of the ground floor of the existing building (approximately 820 m²) would be developed for commercial purposes ('Offices').
Regal Realty Limited has submitted a draft Land Use Assessment Report (LUAR) to the City in support of its rezoning and development application. This will also be discussed at the public meeting.
The public meeting will be chaired by a member of the St. John’s Municipal Council. At a regular meeting of Council following this public meeting the proposed rezoning and draft Land Use Assessment Report will be referred to Council for consideration.
