Map Amendment - Wetlands - Southlands SL1

Council is considering a map amendment to Appendix C, Map 4 "Waterways and Wetlands" of the Envision St. John's Development Regulations.

The Southlands SL1 wetland is currently shown as a protected wetland on Map 4; however, the map does not show the full extent of the wetland. The City engaged an environmental consultant to carry out further study of the SL1 wetland and that study identified additional wetland area that meets the Wetland Ecosystems Services Protocol-Atlantic Canada (WESP-AC) criteria set by Council for wetland protection.

The SL1 wetland has expanded and extended further north (area above the pink line shown on the image above). The proposed amendment is to update Map 4 "Waterways and Wetlands" to include this area and reflect the full extent of the Southlands SL1 wetland.
