Integrated Municipal Sustainability Plan 2012 & 2012 Development Regulations Amendment No. 25-03
The City of Corner Brook is in receipt of a development proposal at 347 O’Connell Drive (the ‘Subject Property’) to establish an “apartment attached to shops and other businesses” as a secondary use to the existing office building. Please take notice that the Corner Brook City Council is considering amendments to the City’s Integrated Municipal Sustainability Plan 2012 (IMSP) and the 2012 Development Regulations (DR), in accordance with section 14 of the Urban and Rural Planning Act, 2000, as per the following:
The purpose of this text amendment is to allow for an apartment to be permitted as a secondary and subsidiary use to non-industrial uses permitted in the Light Industrial zone. The Subject Property is in the Light Industrial (LI) zone. Residential uses are not permitted in the LI zone therefore a text amendment is required to accommodate the use. The secondary apartment dwelling is intended to be integrated into an existing or proposed structure in such a way that it is entirely contained within the main building and does not appear to be a separate use at the discretion of Council. This amendment facilitates an apartment attached to shops and other businesses to be considered in the LI zone through Council’s discretion.
Council requests that anyone wishing to provide comments on the proposed amendments do so in writing by 4:00 p.m., Monday, August 11th, 2025. A response to this public notice shall form part of the public record. If you do not wish your name attributed to the comment, please advise the City when responding. Anyone wishing to inspect a copy of the proposed amendments may do so by visiting City Hall during business hours (8:30 am to 4:30 pm), by contacting the Planning Office at 637-1553, or by visiting the City’s website at https://www.cornerbrook.com/permits/municipal-plan-amendments/.
