Notice of Proposed Changes
Posted on
Town Council of Grand Falls‐Windsor wishes to make a change to the Town of Grand Falls‐Windsor Municipal Plan and Development Regulation to allow for the repurposing of commercial and civic buildings to allow for housing opportunities in locations that are within active transportation access of shopping and community amenities and are compatible with the neighbouring properties.
The proposed amendment seeks to change the text of the 2022‐2032 Integrated Community Sustainability Municipal Plan and Development Regulations in order to allow for the repurposing of commercial and civic buildings for higher density residential use in the Commercial General, Commercial Highway, Commercial Neighbourhood, Commercial Downtown and Public Use zones. As well, this amendment will allow shipping containers as an accessory use subject to conditions in the Public Use zone.
The Town Council of Grand Falls‐Windsor wishes to receive any comments or representation on these proposed changes. Anyone wishing to make a comment, objection, or representation should submit a signed statement outlining their concerns to the Development Department, Town Hall, 5 High Street, P.O. Box 439, Grand Falls‐Windsor, NL, A2A 2J8, or email planning@townofgfw.com by Noon, July 15, 2024.
