Council decision re: project and text amendment

At the Aug. 7 regular meeting of Council, a decision was made to reject the application for a Nordic Spa at 1274 Blackhead Road. Council did approve the text amendment to the Envision St. John’s Development Regulations to allow consideration of rural tourism uses (like a spa with overnight accommodations) in the Rural Residential (RR) Zone as well as in the Rural Residential Infill (RRI) Zone and in the Rural (RUR) Zone. The text amendment will now move forward to Municipal and Provincial Affairs for registration.
