20 Bay Harbour News Wednesday March 22 2023 We’re planning for our growing city Find out what this means for your property Use our interactive map, learn more, then have your say: ccc.govt.nz/growingcity Christchurch’s housing and business development rules are changing Ōtautahi Christchurch’s population is growing. Over the next 30 years, it’s predicted we’ll need more than 40,000 new houses to ensure everyone has a place to live, and Christchurch City Council is planning for that now. Our growth challenge We need to provide for the growth of housing and business in the best locations in Christchurch, to help address issues like climate change and housing shortage. This means more houses where there’s good access to shops, services, work, school, public transport networks and infrastructure. Where there’s good reason, we also need to ensure development remains restricted or limited to protect and maintain areas of value. These changes won’t happen overnight. Over time the look and feel of the city will change, and we want to plan for that and keep what people value. A new direction in urban planning The planning rules have changed for New Zealand’s main urban areas. We need to follow the new national direction to allow greater housing and business development within Christchurch’s existing urban footprint. There are new national standards for multi-unit housing developments called the Medium-Density Residential Standards (MDRS). These aim to make it easier for denser housing developments to happen. Once they come into effect, up to three dwellings of up to three storeys can be developed on a property in Christchurch without needing to apply for a resource consent, as long as all other rules have been met. Not all parts of Christchurch are suitable for the MDRS, so we’re proposing special rules, called Qualifying Matters, apply to recognise heritage and cultural features, to protect major utility, infrastructure, and people in areas vulnerable to natural hazards, among other things. What we’re proposing We’re proposing important changes to the city’s planning rulebook, the District Plan, via two plan changes – the Housing and Business Choice Plan Change (Plan Change 14), and the Heritage Plan Change (Plan Change 13). Both plan changes were formally notified on 17 March 2023. Replacing some existing residential zones in the city with two new ones – a Medium-Density Residential Zone and a High-Density Residential Zone. The Medium-Density zone is the baseline for increasing housing in our city. The High-Density zone would allow apartment buildings and multistorey flats in the central city. Increased height limits for residential and commercial buildings in and around the central city, suburban centres and along public transport routes, as well as enabling residential development in some industrial areas around the central city and larger suburban centres. Special rules (Qualifying Matters) to limit greater development of housing and business under the MDRS, in order to better reflect our city’s environment and climate. One proposes changing recession planes to increase sunlight access from what would be possible under the MDRS. This applies citywide and means the MDRS won’t come into effect for Christchurch until 2024, when Plan Change 14 is decided on. Heritage that should be protected, with a number of new buildings, items and interiors added to the Schedule of Significant Historic Heritage. Have your say on our growing city You can make a submission on the Housing and Business Choice Plan Change (Plan Change 14) and Heritage Plan Change (Plan Change 13) until 3 May 2023. Detailed information about the plan changes and everything you need to make your submission is available at ccc.govt.nz/growingcity
