CITY OF CORNER BROOK
DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS AMENDMENT No. 24-03
REZONING OF 29 HUMBER ROAD
Corner Brook City Council adopted proposed Amendments No. 24-03 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 November 18, 2024.
The development proposal is for 29 Humber Road (the ‘Subject Property’) for ‘personal service’ (photography studio) and ‘office’ on the first floor with ‘dwelling unit’ (apartment) on the second floor. The Subject Property is currently zoned ‘Open Space (OS)’, which prohibits the proposed uses. Until spring 2023, the building was used for a multipurpose ‘general industry’ use, which included such activities office, wood burning appliance sales and repair, propane tank refills; and welding and sheet metal working. The previous uses are also prohibited in the ‘Open Space (OS)’ zone; as such, the former development was legal non-conforming. Since the former uses have been discontinued for a period greater than six (6) months, non-conforming use rights are extinguished as per section 108 of the Urban and Rural Planning Act, 2000.
A public hearing to hear objections and representations on the proposal is scheduled for 7:00 p.m., December 19th, 2024 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., December 17th, 2024).
