Consultation has concluded

The City has received an application from First Light St. John’s Native Friendship Centre Inc. to rezone property at 40 Quidi Vidi Road to accommodate an office, clinic, and place of assembly. The applicant is proposing to renovate and expand the existing building (the former St. Joseph’s Church) to develop the First Light headquarters. This will include a community centre, clinic, and gymnasium which will provide community space, programming, and amenities for the entire community, as well as updated office space and headquarters for the organization. The project will include landscaping and a memory garden dedicated to the survivors of residential schools in the province.

The subject property is zoned Residential 3 (R3) where, of the proposed uses, only an Office can be considered. A rezoning to Residential Mixed (RM) is required to accommodate the proposed development. Within the RM Zone, Clinic and Office are Permitted Uses, while a Place of Assembly is a Discretionary Use. The property is designated Residential under the Envision St. John’s Municipal Plan, so a Municipal Plan amendment is not required.
