Development Regulations/ Amendment REGISTERED Number Lf-755 -1023 - 0 0'2.. ~i:~aturc l~t✓ ,, TOWN OF SMALL POINT-BROAD COVE-ADAMS COVE DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS AMENDMENT No. 1, 2023 BACKGROUND The Town of Small Point-Broad Cove-Blackhead-Adams Cove proposes to amend its Development Regulations. Development in these communities has been historically centred around the track. Development in these communities is zoned as Town (TN) The Town of Small Point-Broad Cove-Blackhead-Adams Cove is an amalgamation of four communities. It adopted its first Municipal Plan and Development Regulations in 2011. This will constitute the first Amendment to that Plan. For the communities of Small Point, Broad Cove, Blackhead and Adams Cove, residential development has centered around the "Track". This is the former Newfoundland Railway Branch Line from Carbonear to Bay de Verde. The "Track" is zoned as Track (TR) under the Town's Development Regulations. It is an important p~ysical feature of the Town. The Town of Small Point-Broad Cove-Blackhead-Adams Cove is a popular location for retirement and summer residences. There is very little land remaining under the Town designation suitable for residential development. The logical area of expansion is on the west side of the track. The Town has identified three areas that may be suitable for future residential development. Area 1 (Map) has an area of approximately 6.12 hectares and is located on the west side of the track in the community of Small Point. Area 2 (Map 2) has an area of approximately 38.0 hectares and is located on the west side of the track in the community of Broad Cove and area 3 (Map 3) has an area of approximately 10.0 hectares and is located on the west side of the track in the community of Adams Cove. All three areas are for the most part Crown Land with some private land. ANALYSIS Ideally, these three areas should be development through a comprehensive development scheme (CDA). The Development Regulations do not zone any areas as future CDA's. Land on the west side of the track, for the most part is Crown land. Council proposes - ~ - ! development will be on a lot-by-lot basis for Crown land. It would be the responsibility of each individual to carry out any road upgrades. While this proposal will not utilize the wisest and best use of land, the Town is not adverse to a developer acquiring Crown Land for a planned subdivision development. This amendment proposes to change the present Land Use Zone for three separate areas from "Rural" to "Town". Area 1 (Map1) will use an existing access, Broad Cove Pond Road. Area 2 (Map 2) will use three existing roads: Moores Road, Trestle Road and Firehills -Road. Area 3 (Map 3) will be accessed by Georges Road and Station Road. Lots, either individually or as a subdivision, will be develop to the standards of the Town (TN) Land Use Zone Table. The minimum lot size will be 1860m2 with a 30 metre frontage. All Lots will have direct access and front onto a public road. Lots shall have on site water and sewer. PUBLIC CONSULTATION At a public meeting held on September 12, 2022, the Town conducted its own Public Consultations on the existing Municipal Plan and Development Regulations. The meeting was advertised by notices posted in the Town Office, both local stores, the Town's Facebook page and website. The Town's website indicated over 100 different ip address hits to view the Town's amendments during the period when the notices were posted and the day of the meeting. The purpose of the consultations was to enable interested persons or groups to provide input and receive information on the planned and required amendments to Municipal Plan and Development Regulations. At the meeting, the Mayor presented a summary of proposed changes to the Municipal Plan and Development plans. Regulations. Significant changes are: updating background data including most recent census numbers, well information, landfill now closed and property tax introduced. Highlighted was the need for more land for future development. As a result of the meeting three areas were identified to be re-designated from "Rural" to "Town" (ORA 1). There was interest indicated in developing these areas as they are accessible by existing roads. Extending electrical services would be required and are within a reasonable distance to these identified areas. Other Issues identified were: a) the pressure on existing roads due to an increase in traffic. b) The "Track" road is narrow and used by various all terrain vehicles and pedestrians. The track would need to be upgraded to allow for an increase in development. c) Land locked parcels of land should be considered and allow access from other landowners. The potential for construction of subdivisions is low as much of this land is already privately owned. Upon receiving copies of the draft amendment documents, Council undertook a second Public Consultation so that individuals and groups could provide further input to the proposed Municipal Plan Amendment. The Town Council of Small Point-Adams Cove posted a notice in the Town Office, both local stores, the Town's Facebook page and website, advertising the proposed amendment seeking comments or representations from the public. The Town Council placed the proposed amendment on display at the Town Council Office from January 17, to January 24, 2023, for residents to view and to provide any comments or concerns in writing to the Council concerning the proposed amendment. No letters or objections were received by the Town during the public consultation period.
