The City has received an application to amend the Envision St. John's Development Regulations to add "Dwelling Unit - 1st storey" as a Discretionary Use to the Commercial Office Hotel (COH) Zone. The proposed amendment is prompted by an application from Gagnon Walker Domes Ltd. to convert the existing building at 222 LeMarchant Road into a fully residential rental building. A total of 99 new dwelling units are proposed, with units on all floors of the building.
Along with the text amendment, the City is advertising the Discretionary Use of "Dwelling Unit - 1st storey" at 222 LeMarchant Road. Approximately 22 dwelling units are proposed for the 1st storey.
