Map of a property with a yellow border around it

The City has received an application from 86755 Newfoundland & Labrador Inc. to rezone 8 Shaw Street and 4 McLea Place from the Residential Special (RA) Zone to the Residential 1 (R1) Zone. The property is in the Residential District of the Envision St. John’s Municipal Plan, so a Municipal Plan amendment is not needed.

The two properties are currently vacant. The applicant intends to subdivide the two properties to form three (3) Lots for the purpose of developing a Single-Detached Dwelling on each Lot. To achieve the desired area for the corner Lot, the applicant has requested a 10 percent Variance on the 15 metre Lot Frontage requirement on the middle Lot to enable a 13.5 metre Lot Frontage.
