Council to Review Height Increase for New Development

Saint John residents have an opportunity to weigh in on a proposed change for a new housing development on Loch Lomond Road. The City’s Common Council will hold a public hearing to consider allowing taller townhouses at the property located at 1429 Loch Lomond Road.

What’s Changing?

According to a public notice from the City of Saint John, the proposal seeks to amend a condition set on December 11, 2023. If council approves the amendment, the developer could build 3-storey townhouses on the property. This removes the current restriction that limits them to 2 storeys.

The property in question is identified as PID 55244628 and has an area of approximately 7,227 square meters.
