City Council’s policies guide what type of development is encouraged in different areas. One of the key policies in City Plan that guides future development states that residential development should occur at a variety of scales, densities and designs, within all parts of residential neighbourhoods.
The proposed rezoning also aligns with District Plan policy that encourages additional density on sites that have specific supporting contextual factors, such as adequate site size, proximity to parks and open space, and proximity to transportation options such as transit and active transportation corridors.
This means that the RM h23 rezoning application aligns with City policy.
