The City has received an application from Breen’s Enterprises Ltd to rezone property at 69 Military Road from the Residential Downtown (RD) zone to the Residential Mixed (RM) zone. The amendment will also add “Bakery” as a Permitted Use and “Restaurant” as a Discretionary Use to the RM Zone. The subject property is in the Residential District of the Envision St. John’s Municipal Plan, so a Municipal Plan amendment is not required.
The proposal is to convert part of the first floor, which is currently occupied by a Needs Convenience Store, into an apartment and use the remaining portion of the first floor for a Breen’s Restaurant and Bakery. Rezoning to the RM Zone will enable the proposed Dwelling Unit on the first storey as well as the Restaurant as Discretionary Uses. The Dwelling Unit will have a floor area of 125m2 and on-site parking is provided. The Restaurant and Bakery will have a floor area of approximately 150m² and will operate seven days a week, 7 a.m. – 7 p.m.
