INTRODUCTION
The West St. Modeste Municipal Plan came into effect on November 17th, 1989.
The Council now proposes six amendments.
Amendments to municipal plans are prepared and adopted under the Urban and
Rural Planning Act by the municipal council at any time after the municipal plan has come
into effect.
The purpose of a municipal plan as set out in the Act is to contain proposals for such
general development of the municipal planning area as can be foreseen for a period not
exceeding ten years from the date of completion of the municipal plan and shall be designed
to co-ordinate the public purposes of the council that bear upon urban development so as
to achieve the common well being of the community and to conserve the financial and
material resources of the municipal planning area. Municipal plan amendments must have
the same purpose.
The process of preparing, adopting and bringing into legal effect a municipal plan
amendment is the same as for a municipal plan. Briefly that is:
1.
Preparation and adoption of the amendment by the municipal council.
2.
The amendment is put on public display for four weeks.
3.
A public hearing is arranged and a hearing commissioner appointed by the Minister.
The hearing may be cancelled by the Minister in the event there are no
representations made by the public.
4.
The commissioner submits a report on the hearing and recommends a course of
action to the Minister, if the hearing is not cancelled.
5.
The Minister approves, or approves subject to changes or disapproves the
amendment.
When a municipal plan amendment is approved by the Minister and comes into legal
effect, the amendment becomes a part of the municipal plan. It is then legally binding on
the municipal council and the public as is the municipal plan. As a consequence of the
municipal plan amendment, an amendment may be necessary to the development
regulations.
The rational for change is given in the background to each amendment. Unless
otherwise stated, the remaining policies in the plan text continue unchanged and these
should be consulted in conjunction with these amendments.
BACKGROUND TO AMENDMENT NO. 1
The purpose of the amendment is to change the location of a proposed road which
is shown on the Plan of Land Use, Map No. 2 as "Eventual Street Location". The reason
for the change is to allow a better utilization of highway frontage.
AMENDMENT NO. 1
The West St. Modeste Municipal Plan, Plan of Land Use, Map No. 2 is amended by
changing the location of the Eventual Street Location as shown on the attached portion of
the map.
BACKGROUND TO AMENDMENT NO. 2
The purpose of the amendment is to change the land use designation from Rural and
Public Buildings to Residential of an area of land fronting on the highway and south of the
community hall. The Public Buildings area was originally designated for a post office which
was located elsewhere. At the time of preparation of the municipal plan it was intended
that future residential growth be located in a new subdivision central to the community.
Council has been unsuccessful in initiating the subdivision to date and sees the rural area
as being suitable for immediate residential development. This is particularly the case as
funding for water and sewer servicing has been approved for this area.
AMENDMENT NO. 2
The West St. Modeste Municipal Plan, Plan of Land Use, Map No. 2 is amended by
changing the land use designations of
11Rural" and Public Buildings" to "Residential" as
shown on the attached portion of the map.
BACKGROUND TO AMENDMENT NO. 3
The purpose of the amendment is to designate additional land in the east end of the
community for commercial purposes. The area is presently designated as industrial, rural
and recreation. There is a proposal to use a portion of the site for a multi unit senior
citizen's housing project. Council feels this type of use can be compatible with commercial
uses provided there are adequate buffers to separate it from other uses permitted in the
area. The policies of the commercial designation are amended to permit on a discretionary
basis multi unit senior citizen's housing.
AMENDMENT NO. 3
The West St. Modeste Municipal Plan is amended by changing:
A.
The Plan of Land Use, Map No. 2 from "Industrial", "Rural" and "Recreation" to
"Commercial" and "Rural" as shown on the attached portion of the map.
B.
The text of the Municipal Plan at section 2.2 Commercial, Policies by adding a new
section VI as follows:
"VI Multi unit group housing may be permitted on a discretionary basis provided it
is adequately buffered and separated from adjacent uses to provide an acceptable
level of amenity."
BACKGROUND TO AMENDMENT NO. 4
The purpose of the amendment is to change the location of a proposed road in order
to allow for more efficient use of existing road frontage. The site is the northern highway
intersection with the proposed subdivision road. The existing intersection appears to leave
an undevelopable strip of land adjacent to the road and this amendment will solve that
problem.
AMENDMENT NO. 4
The West St. Modeste Municipal Plan, Plan of Land Use Map No. 2 is amended by
changing the location of a proposed road as shown on the attached portion of the map.
BACKGROUND TO AMENDMENT NO. 5
The purpose of the amendment is to change the land use designation of three
separate sites from Conservation to Residential. The sites appear to be suitable and will
be serviced in the near future. The sites are located at the road to the community gardens,
Bone Cove and on the road to the public wharf.
AMENDMENT NO. 5
The West St. Modeste Municipal Plan, Plan of Land Use, Map No. 2, is amended
by changing the land use designation from "Conservation" to "Residential" for three sites as
shown on the attached portion of the map.
BACKGROUND TO AMENDMENT NO. 6
The purpose of the amendment is to designate additional land for commercial
development as most of the existing commercially designated land is developed. Council
feels there is some potential for further commercial development as a result of continued
growth of tourism activity at Red Bay. The area affected by the amendment is at the west
entrance to the community and on the south side of the highway and is presently designated
as Conservation. The site will become developable when the water and sewer system is
extended to this area.
The area of the amendment does not appear on the area covered by the plan map
of the community. It is in the area covered by Map No. 1 which is at a scale of 1:35,000.
This scale is inadequate to illustrate this area of the community. As a result a new map is
added which will properly illustrate this area.
AMENDMENT NO. 6
A.
The West St. Modeste Municipal Plan, is amended by adding a new Plan of Land
Use, Map 3. The area covered by this map is deleted from Map 1 all as shown on
the attached two copies of the maps.
B.
The West St. Modeste Municipal Plan, Plan of Land Use, Map No. 3 is amended by
changing the land use designation from "Rural" to "Commercial" as shown on the
attached copy of the map.
