The City received an application to rezone 55 Groves Road from the Rural Residential Infill (RRI) Zone to the Residential 2 (R2) Zone to enable the development of semi-detached dwellings. To rezone, a Municipal Plan amendment is required to redesignate the property from the Rural District to the Residential District.
A total of 18 dwelling units are proposed. An updated proposed site plan (revised March 2025) can be found under the 'Documents' tab on this page.
An amendment to the St. John's Urban Region Regional Plan is also required to enable this amendment. The proposed Regional Plan amendment will re-designate the land from 'Rural' to 'Urban Development'. A copy of the proposed Regional Plan amendment is available for viewing under the 'Documents' tab found on this page.
There are two parcels of land proposed for development, both owned by the City. The property shown in blue was sold to the City in the past by the applicant, who signed an agreement with the City for the right to first refusal for reacquiring the land.
The land shown in orange is additional City-owned land which the applicant has requested to purchase to enable the proposed development.
Council has approved the sale of both properties, subject to development approval. The first step in development approval would be rezoning.
