designated as General Urban Area in the Official Plan;
(2)
allow a number of other residential uses to provide additional housing choices within the
fourth density residential areas;
(3)
permit ancillary uses to the principal residential use to allow residents to work at home;
(4)
regulate development in a manner that is compatible with existing land use patterns so that
the mixed building form, residential character of a neighbourhood is maintained or enhanced:
and
(5)
permit different development standards, identified in the Z subzone, primarily for areas
