Working with QLDC staff and Vivian Espie, Design Guides for Residential and Business Mixed Use Zones were prepared. The Residential design guide covers High, Medium and Lower Density zones. The guides are designed to assist developers when breaches in District Plan standards may occur, suggesting possible design solutions to achieve a positive design outcome. The guides break projects down into key design elements to simplify the process for designers, and are designed to be web-friendly. Work was completed in mid 2019 with evidence currently being prepared for the Stage 3 Hearings of the PDP.
