BACKGROUND
TOWN OF GILLAMS
MUNICIPAL PLAN AMENDMENT
AMENDMENT No. 1, 2024
The Town Council of Gillams wishes to amend its Municipal Plan (hereinafter called
'Municipal Plan' or ICSMP) The proposed amendment seeks to change the 2017-2027
Municipal Plan's Future Land Use Map.
The Town of Gillams has received an application for residential development of a single
detached dwelling in the Comprehensive Development Area zone. The site is located on
Farm Road which is a publicly maintained road. The site is to be used for single detached
dwelling located at the southwest corner of the Comprehensive Development Area (CDA)
and bounded on the west by the access road into the existing quarry (refer to map below)
Town of Gillams:
Municipal Plan Amendment No. 1 2024 and Development Regulations Amendment H o. 1, 2024
LEGEND
Potential future access to Comprehensive Developmem: Area-Residential
Existing access to Quarry
Location oii proposed residential lot
Compreherisive Develo pment A rea
According to the CDA zone requirements, development of CDA lands would require the
preparation of a comprehensive development concept plan for the CDA zoned lands.
However, the Town considered this application at this location as they felt that it did not
compromise the future development of the CDA lands for the following reasons:
-
The lot fronts onto a publicly maintained road and backlot development would need
access from an interior road designed as per the CDA zone concept plan
requirements;
-
The future access road for the CDA would not be situated at the location of the lot
due to the proximity of the existing access to the Quarry;
-
There is sufficient undeveloped land available to the west for the future access road
from Farm Road to enable the development of the CDA zone;
The Town of Gillams believes that the development of this site meets the requirements of
the Municipal Plan and Development Regulations with regard to the intent of the zone and
the development standards requirements. The Town of Gillams is committed to protecting
and maximizing the orderly development of the limited future residential area identified in
the Comprehensive Development Area. A Development Scheme was prepared (see attached
supplemental document) as per the requirements of Municipal Plan Policy CDA-4 and as
per the requirements of Section 29 of the Urban and Rural Planning Act 2000.
An additional consideration that was addressed involved the proximity of a quarry
operation. The Town sent a referral to the Mineral Lands Division, Mines Branch,
Department of Industry, Energy, and Technology and received the approval for this
development on the understanding that the proposed rezoning and residential occupancy
of the lots would not provide cause to prevent continued operation of the gravel pit
currently operated under a quarry permit issued by this Department. The Town was
advised to expect the continued operation of the gravel pit currently and to expect that
there could be a proposal to expand the gravel pit in future as it is located within an area
mapped by the Geological Survey of Newfoundland and Labrador as being underlain by
sand and gravel deposits and may represent an important local or regional source of such
materials.
Services to the site must either meet Town requirement for municipal services or the
requirements of the Department of Digital Government and Service NL for onsite services.
Council is also considering an amendment to the 2017-2027 Development Regulations
Land Use Zoning map that will allow for residential development at this site.
PUBLIC CONSULTATION
During the preparation of this proposed amendment, Council undertook the following
initiatives so that individuals could provide input. A Notice was published in the NL Wire
on March 27, 2024. Notices were Posted in the following locations: local business in town,
fire hall, community hall bulletin board, and on our community mailbox.
No submissions were received.
