FOREWORD Trans Canada Highway Channel-Port aux Basques to Corner Brook Protected Highway Zoning Plan Amendment No. 2, 2012 The Department of Municipal Affairs wishes to amend the Protected Road Zoning Plan Trans Canada Highway Channel-Port aux Basques to Corner Brook. The purpose of the proposed amendment is to change the zoning of several areas along the highway to accommodate existing developments and requests for cottage development. The proposed amendment will result in minor changes to the Plan near Pinchgut Lake and in the Codroy Valley. BACKGROUND The Trans Canada Highway Channel-Port aux Basques to Corner Brook Protected Road Zoning Plan, (the "Plan") was prepared in 2003. The plan was amended to accommodate a new cottage development at the south end of Pinchgut Lake in 2010. Since 2003, land use requirements have changed. Applications for approval of urban, cottage, and semiurban development have increased since 2003. There have been requests from several property owners to have lands re-zoned in the area of Pinchgut Lake and the Codroy Valley n the past few years. The unincorporated community of Doyles is directly impacted by three of the proposed changes in this amendment package. No incorporated communities are directly affected by the proposed amendment. PUBLIC CONSULTATION During the preparation of this amendment, the Department of Municipal Affairs undertook a number of initiatives so that individuals and groups could provide input. An advertisement noting the proposed changes was published in the Gulf News, the Georgian, and the Western Star. The Minister also invited input from nearby community members, Members of the House of Assembly, and other departments in the Provincial Government through direct contact and referral of the proposed amendment to the Intergovernmental Land Use Committee. 2
THE PROPOSED AMENDMENT After the initial consultation, the Department proposed the following changes: To rezone a 1.67 Hectare parcel of land at Pinchgut Lake from "Rural Conservation" to "Cottage" to accommodate proposed development. To rezone three parcels of land in Doyles: o Two parcels from "Rural Conservation" to "Mixed Use" one 0.94 Hectares and the other 1.29 Hectares, to accommodate existing and proposed development; and, o One 2.8 Hectare parcel of land from "Highway Commercial" to "Mixed Use" to accommodate proposed development. To rezone five parcels of land in the Mummichog Cooper's Brook area: o Four parcels from "Rural Conservation" to "Cottage" one 6 Hectares, one 1 Hectare, one 5.54 Hectares, and one 11.54 Hectare to accommodate existing and proposed development; and, o One 0.54 Hectare parcel from "Rural Conservation" to "Highway Commercial" to accommodate an existing development. To rezone two parcels of land in the McDougall's Gulch area: o One 3 Hectare parcel of land from "Rural Conservation" to "Cottage" to accommodate existing and proposed development; and, o A strip of land separating an existing cottage development and the Trans Canada Highway from "Rural Conservation" to "Buffer" to clarify the purpose of the separation. PUBLIC HEARINGS Public Hearings were held on December 12 and 13, 2012 in Corner Brook and Channel- Port aux Basques, respectively. The Public Hearings were presided over by a Commissioner appointed by the Minister to do so. As a result of the submissions to the Commissioner before and during the hearing the Commissioner recommended that the Department proceed and that the Department also undertake the following: At Pinchgut Lake: o To reduce the original change at Pinchgut Lake to a 0.95 Hectare parcel of land from "Rural Conservation" to "Cottage"; and, o To rezone a 0.72 Hectare parcel of land located at Pinchgut Lake from "Rural Conservation" to "Highway Commercial" to accommodate potential development. 3
To rezone a 24 Hectare parcel of land at Mummichog Little Codroy River from "Rural Conservation" to "Cottage" to accommodate proposed and potential development. At Mummichog Cooper's Brook: o To reduce the size of one parcel being rezoned from "Rural Conservation" to "Cottage" from 5.54 Hectares to 5 Hectares; o To rezone a 0.82 Hectare parcel of land from "Rural Conservation" to "Cottage" to accommodate proposed development; and, o To increase the size of one parcel being rezoned from "Rural Conservation" to "Cottage" from 11.54 Hectares to 23.31 Hectares. Between Mummichog Cooper's Brook and McDougall's Gulch: o To rezone a 1.91 Hectare parcel of land from "Rural Conservation" to "Cottage" to accommodate proposed development; o To rezone a strip between the proposed change noted above from "Rural Conservation" to "Buffer" to the purpose of the separation; and, o To rezone a 0.63 Hectare parcel of land "Rural Conservation" to "Cottage" to accommodate proposed development. McDougall's Gulch: o To rezone a 3.67 Hectare parcel of land from "Rural Conservation" to "Cottage" to accommodate potential development; o To rezone a strip between the proposed change noted above from "Rural Conservation" to "Buffer" to the purpose of the separation; and, o To increase the size of one parcel being rezoned from "Rural Conservation" to "Cottage" from 3 Hectares to approximately 10.33 Hectares to accommodate existing and potential development; and, o To increase the length of the strip being rezoned from "Rural Conservation" to "Buffer" in response to the increase of the area being rezoned to "Cottage". 4
