Map Amendment - Floodplains

The City is considering an amendment to Appendix C, Map 5 "Waterways and Flood Hazards" of the Envision St. John's Development Regulations. The proposed amendment is to update the map to include the new and revised floodplains and floodplain buffers identified in the 2023 Flood Risk Mapping Study.

No changes are proposed to the text of the Development Regulations and a Municipal Plan amendment is not needed.

You can learn more about this map amendment on the Planning St. John’s webpage at engagestjohns.ca/planning. The Planning St. John's webpage allows the public to learn more about planning applications, track progress, give feedback and ask questions all in one place.
