Mount Pearl City Council has moved forward with changes to land use rules that pave the way for a new residential development on Blackmarsh Road. On March 10, 2026, the City of Mount Pearl officially adopted amendments to its municipal plan and development regulations for properties located at 912-928 Blackmarsh Road.
The approved changes redesignate the land from mixed use to residential and rezone the site to apartment use. These adjustments were made under the Urban and Rural Planning Act, 2000 to support a proposed project featuring 51 rowhouse units, consisting of nine quadplexes and five triplexes.
Following the initial adoption in March, the city held a public hearing on April 9, 2026, at Mount Pearl City Hall to gather feedback and hear from the community regarding the project. The city had established a deadline of April 7, 2026, for residents to submit written comments or notify the city of their intent to participate.
Residents who are interested in the details of these land use changes can review the documents at the front reception of City Hall, located at 3 Centennial Street, during regular business hours. Information is also available online through the city’s engagement portal, Hey Mount Pearl.
For further questions regarding the development or the planning process, members of the public can contact Kieran Miller, the city’s manager of development and planning, by calling (709) 748-1000, extension 1225, or by emailing [email protected].
