This application is now closed. The amendment came into effect on January 17, 2025 when notice was published in the NL Gazette.

The City has received an application to rezone property at 26 Alexander Street from the Commercial Local (CL) Zone to the Apartment 2 (A2) Zone to accommodate a sixty (60) unit Apartment Building. There is an existing commercial building on site, formerly Power’s Salvage and before that, Mammy’s Bakery. Connections for Seniors is proposing to redevelop the building into affordable seniors’ housing. Connections for Seniors have received funding from the Newfoundland and Labrador Housing Corporation.

The subject property is in the Residential District of the Envision St. John’s Municipal Plan, so a Municipal Plan amendment is not required. Apartment Building is not listed in the CL Zone and therefore rezoning is required to enable the Apartment Building. Apartment Building is a Permitted Use in the A2 Zone. The subject property is also located in Heritage Area 3.

The applicant did propose a Parking Lot at 25 Patrick Street, which was intended to serve the proposed Apartment Building at 26 Alexander Street. However, the Parking Lot did not meet the required standards outlined in the Development Design Manual with respect to vehicle turning movements and is no longer being proposed as a Parking Lot.
