Please take notice that Corner Brook City Council adopted proposed Amendments No. 24-04 to the City’s Integrated Municipal Sustainability Plan 2012 (i.e. the Municipal Plan) and 2012 Development Regulations respectively at a committee of the whole meeting of Council held on June 23, 2025.
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). The “place of worship” use is not set out in the RLD use zone tables, which prohibits the proposed parking lot extending into the RLD zone. The purpose of this rezoning is to allow for the expansion of parking lot, upon approval, all engineering requirements will need to be met before construction permits will be granted.
If you would like to view the proposed amendments or receive more information on the proposal, please visit the City’s Municipal Plan Amendment website page, call (709) 637-1578, or visit City Hall during regular business hours, Monday to Friday between 8:30am and 4:30pm.
A public hearing to hear objections and representations on the proposal is scheduled for 7:00 p.m., July 29th, 2025 in the Hutchings Room at City Hall (5 Park Street, Corner Brook). If you have objections to the proposal, please submit them in writing to the City Clerk at The City of Corner Brook, P.O. Box 1080, Corner Brook, NL A2H 6E1.
In accordance with subsection 21(1) of the Urban and Rural Planning Act, 2000, the public hearing may be cancelled if no objections are received, or no person expresses intent to attend the public hearing, 48 hours prior to the date/time of the scheduled public hearing (7:00p.m., July 27th, 2025).
