Zoning
A high-density mixed-use employment corridor tied to a rail or metro line. Expect the tallest buildings in the area here.
Tied to the efficient operation and development of the airport under its own plan — which also means aircraft noise contours apply.
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.
