    Zoning at the site

    Zone Z9 - DEV PLAN 2022-2028

    C2.1 — Economic development and employment

    Z6: Employment/Enterprise: To provide for the creation and protection of enterprise and facilitate opportunities for employment creation.

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

    G3 — High amenity

    Z11: Waterways Protection: To protect and improve canal, coastal and river amenities.

    Protected high-amenity landscape. Development is resisted to preserve the character of the area.

    G5 — Open space and amenity

    Z9: Amenity/Open Space Lands/Green Network: To preserve, provide and improve recreational amenity, open space and ecosystem services.

    Land zoned to stay open — parks, playing fields, amenity corridors. Built development is very hard to justify, which also means the view is protected.

    M1 — Metro / rail economic corridor

    Z10: Inner Suburban and inner City Sustainable Mixed-Uses: To consolidate and facilitate the development of inner city and inner suburban sites for mixed-uses.

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

    R2 — Existing residential

    Z1: Sustainable Residential Neighbourhoods: To protect, provide and improve residential amenities.

    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.
