Town Council of Grand Falls-Windsor wishes to make a change to the Town of Grand Falls Windsor Development Regulations, 2022-2032. The Town of Grand Falls-Windsor wishes to address the needs of business owners with light industrial uses in the Town of Grand Falls Windsor.
The purpose of this Development Regulation Amendment No. 26, 2025 is to update the definition of ‘Light Industrial’. It is proposed that an office which is only permitted as an accessory providing an administrative function to the principal use on the property will not be limited to be located inside the principal building. It is also proposed to allow accessory employee residential use in the Light Industrial zone to include temporary short-term accommodation for personnel or contractors directly working for the primary use, such as a dormitory or hostel arrangements related to industrial light uses only.
This amendment also updates the height restriction for accessory buildings to clarify that the following restriction applies only in the residential zones: the maximum height of an accessory building from finished grade to roof peak shall not exceed the maximum permitted height of 6 meters and in no instance shall the height of any accessory building exceed the height of the principal building(s) on the lot.
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, Thursday, September 11, 2025.
