A large property at 19 Anglin Drive could soon be home to a new multi-unit residential building. The City of Saint John’s Common Council will consider a proposal to rezone the 12,020 square metre parcel of land to allow for a denser, mid-rise development.

The proposed amendment is scheduled for a public hearing, giving residents a chance to weigh in on the potential changes in their neighbourhood.

The Proposed Change

According to a public notice issued by the City of Saint John, the application seeks to rezone the land at 19 Anglin Drive, identified as PID 55054779, from Low-Rise Residential (RL) to Mid-Rise Residential (RM). The city states the reason for the change is to convert the site into a multi-unit residential property.

A change to Mid-Rise Residential zoning typically permits the construction of taller apartment or condo buildings than the single-family homes or smaller multi-unit structures allowed under Low-Rise Residential zoning.
