Zoning

Zone Z1 - DEV PLAN 2022-2028

C2.1 — Economic development and employment

Zoned for employment uses. Housing is not the intended use here.

R2 — Existing residential

An established residential area. The objective is to protect existing residential amenity as well as to provide housing — which is the objective a neighbour's objection to an overbearing extension is usually argued under.

S5 — Sustainable neighbourhood infrastructure

Reserved for the schools, creches, community and health facilities a neighbourhood needs.

M1 — Metro / rail economic corridor

A high-density mixed-use employment corridor tied to a rail or metro line. Expect the tallest buildings in the area here.
