MUNICIPAL PLAN AMENDMENT NO. 4, 2022
INTRODUCTION
The Town of Trinity reviewed and revised its Municipal Plan in 2012. The Town is
now considering an amendment to the Plan and Development Regulations and
this report has been prepared to explain the proposed change, and to serve as a
basis for consideration by the general public before it is adopted and approved
by Council and submitted to the Minister of Municipal and Provincial Affairs for
registration as required under the Urban and Rural Planning Act, 2000.
BACKGROUND
The Town has received an application for the construction of a residential
dwelling located at Civic No. 19 Railway Road. The property, shown in Figure 1
below is 0.206 hectares in area.

(NIU - 0.2061«)
In reviewing the proposal Council considered that there is an existing pattern of
low density residential development on the southeast side of Railway Road
bordering Southwest Arm. Properties on both sides of the subject property are
developed for residential use. The proposed development would be located
within this pattern of development and will be consistent with the existing
development in the area.

. .
Municipal Plan and Development Regulations
The proposed development is located in an area that is designated Rural in the
Municipal Plan. Policies of the Plan limit residential development to remote
seasonal cabins around specified ponds located away from accessible built-up
areas. Residential development is not permitted in other areas designated Rural
such as the proposed location. In the Development Regulations, the area is
zoned Rural. In order to accommodate the proposed development, an
amendment to both the Municipal Plan and the Development Regulations is
required.
Figure 2. Trinity Future Land Use Map
Lands in the general area of the proposed development are designated and
zoned Mixed Development and Rural as shown in Figure 2. The Mixed
Development land use designation and use zone permit residential development
and allow a number of commercial uses, home-based businesses and tourism
accommodations subject to conditions that are intended to prevent conflict with
existing residential uses.
Having reviewed the application and considered development in the area
surrounding the property proposed for development, Council is now proposing to
amend the Municipal Plan to change the land use designation of the subject
property from Rural, to Mixed Development. In doing so, Council is also
proposing to include other lands on the southeast side of the street that are
included in the Rural land use designation. A corresponding amendment to the
Development Regulations will rezone the area to the Mixed Development land
use zone. The area included in the proposed changed is approximately 2ha.

. .
PUBLIC CONSULTATION
An opportunity for public input on the proposed amendment was provided by
advertisement in the June 30th issue of the Trinity Bight Enterprise, and by
posting public notices at various locations in the community and on the Town's
social media channels. A two week notice period for receipt of comments was
provided.
The Town received one response to the public notice. The submission raised
concerns about the visual impact of the development on the street and Trinity in
general. The Town considered the concerns and reviewed the development
plans. Vegetation will be retained along the street and elsewhere on the lot
where possible, and new plantings included in the development.
AMENDMENT No. 4, 2022
The Trinity Municipal Plan shall be amended as follows:
1. Redesignating approximately 2 ha of land located on the southeast side of
Railway Road, from the Rural land use designation on the Future Land
Use Map, to the Mixed Development land use designation. The lands to
be redesignated are shown on the attached Map 2 - Town of Trinity
Municipal Plan Amendment No. 4, 2022.
