Please take notice that Corner Brook City Council adopted proposed Amendments No. 25-02 to the City’s Integrated Municipal Sustainability Plan 2012 (i.e. the Municipal Plan) and 2012 Development Regulations respectively at a regular meeting of Council held on March 9th, 2026.
The adopted amendment is to proceed with rezonings to facilitate developments from a series of requests to change the land use zoning as part of the ongoing Development Regulations and IMSP update process. Given the anticipated approval and registration timelines associated with the new Development Regulations, the requests are being accommodated through amendments to the Land Use Zoning Map of the Development Regulations.
The rezonings are as follows:
- 55 Premier Drive – Zoning change from RMD to GC to facilitate the property owner of the funeral home to rebuild a new building and extend the parking lot.
- 23 & 27 Humber Road – Zone change from OS to RCM to facilitate redevelopment of two buildings along a collector road.
- Massey Drive / TCH area – Zone Change from R to LI to make the lot legal from non-conforming and provide an opportunity for the owner to build a storage warehouse in the future. It is important to know that this development will require lift station if sanitary sewer is required.
- Bolands Ave and Barry Place – Zoning Change from GI to RMD to facilitate redevelopment of the residential lots and promote residential infill development on a vacant property.
- 649 O’Connell Drive – Zoning change from OS to RMD is just a housekeeping change.
If you would like to view the proposed amendments or receive more information on the proposal, please visit the City’s website, 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 6:00 p.m., March 25th, 2026 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 (6:00p.m., March 23rd, 2026).
