    Zoning at the site

    M1 — Metro / rail economic corridor

    Commercial/Mixed Use: To provide for the development of commercial and complementary mixed uses, on suitable lands that can provide focal points for the provision of services to surrounding neighbourhoods/areas and opportunities for commercial enterprises, retail developments

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

    N1.5 — Airport

    Transport Infrastructure: Facilitate the provision and maintenance of essential transportation infrastructure

    Tied to the efficient operation and development of the airport under its own plan — which also means aircraft noise contours apply.

    R2 — Existing residential

    Residential Existing: To protect and improve residential amenities of existing residential areas

    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.
