If approved by Council, key changes to the zoning regulations would be:

Maximum number of units allowed on the site (considering overall gross site area):
Existing RA7 Zone: 213
Proposed RA8 Zone: 381

The amendment changes the land use statistics and land use concept map to reflect the change in zoning. No changes are proposed to the objectives of the plan. The application conforms with the Lewis Farms Area Structure Plan that designates the site for residential uses.
