City of Saint John Planning Advisory Committee Planning Advisory Committee Meeting
The committee held a public hearing regarding an application for the restoration of a vehicle repair garage at 4 and 6 McLaughlin Crescent. Key discussion topics included determining whether the property qualifies as a non-conforming use, given that municipal records could not confirm its initial establishment. The applicants requested permission to rebuild the garage on its existing footprint, necessitating variances for site access, parking lot placement, and landscaping requirements. The committee deliberated on potential conditions for redevelopment to bring the site into greater compliance with current zoning bylaw standards.
