City Council's policies guide the type of development encouraged in different areas. City Plan, one of these key policies, states that residential development should happen at a variety of scales, densities, and designs across all residential neighbourhoods.
The proposed rezoning also aligns with District Plan policy, which encourages additional density on sites within District Nodes — as long as the site is large enough to allow a thoughtful transition to surrounding development, and has adequate access.
This means the RM h16 rezoning application aligns with City policy.
