A small number of areas were selected for more detailed evaluation as part of Variation 2.

Proposed changes have been informed by initial work on the next Future Development Strategy (Spatial Plan), which will look at how and where the city will grow over the next 30 years. How were the sites or areas identified for rezoning? Where a stormwater constraint mapped area applies:īuildings can cover more of the site and impermeable surfaces can cover more of the site in some instances. In the Mosgiel mapped area only (applies only to site ‘IN01’): 3m from front boundary and 1 m from side and rear boundaries (with some exemptions)įor the Mosgiel mapped area, buildings may be located closer to the boundaries. Taller buildings may be able to be located closer to the boundaries (noting that the same setback rules still apply except for Mosgiel).Ĥ.5m from front boundary and 2m from side and rear boundaries (with some exemptions). Maximum height the same but height plane measured at a 55-degree angle starting from 3m up from the boundary. Maximum of 9m and must fit under a ‘height plane’ measured at a 45-degree angle starting from 2.5m up from the boundary. Varies depending on if for ground level or upper level units starts at 15m 2 for one-two bed units at ground floor and increases with additional bedrooms.Ī reduction in the amount of outdoor space required for ground level units. Varies depending on if for ground level or upper level units starts at 25m 2 for one-two bed units at ground floor and increases with additional bedrooms. Previously you needed 1000m 2 to subdivide a site, now you only need 600m 2 or 800m 2, depending on whether your property is in a wastewater constraint mapped area.ĭuplexes, multi-unit developments and existing dwellings can be subdivided (fee simple) as long as they are lawfully established at the time of certification. Where a wastewater constraint mapped area applies (except in Mosgiel): Var 2 proposed exemption for lawfully established houses, provided other standards can be met (e.g. However, any proposal for three or more units on a site (‘multi-unit development’) needs resource consent to assess the design of the building in terms of effects on streetscape amenity and character. There is no limit on the number of units (or residential buildings) you are allowed as long as you have enough site area for the number of habitable rooms across the residential units. One habitable room (potential bedroom) per 100m 2. Where a wastewater constraint mapped area also applies: One habitable room (potential bedroom) per 45m 2 site area Table 1: Comparison of 2GP rules for General Residential 1 Zone and General Residential 2 Zone The proposed changes may be amended as a result of submissions and decisions on submissions and new rules will not apply until decisions are released.

Note this is not a complete list of rules or proposed changes (please view the e-plan and 2GP maps to view the full changes). Table 1 below summarises the key 2GP rules for residential activity in the General Residential 1 Zone that differ from rules in the General Residential 2 Zone. The changes proposed mainly affect the number of residential units you can have per site and the minimum site sizes required for subdivision. How will this change what I can do on my property? My property is proposed to be rezoned from General Residential 1 Zone to General Residential 2 Zone in Variation 2. Variation 2 – Additional Housing Capacity FAQs Zoning changes
