Amendment C231 - Rezoning of 34-40, 37-43 and 42-50 Moore Road, Vermont

Consultation has concluded

Feedback on Amendment C231 concluded on 20 September 2021.

Amendment C231 to the Whitehorse Planning Scheme rezones three properties located at 34-40, 37-43 and 42-50 Moore Road, Vermont from the General Residential Zone Schedule 5 (GRZ5) to the Neighbourhood Residential Zone, Schedule 3 (NRZ3).

As part of a city-wide planning scheme amendment in 2014, the Minister for Planning rezoned these three properties at the south end of Moore Road to GRZ5. The GRZ5 does not reflect City of Whitehorse’s vision for housing in this area and is not consistent with the Neighbourhood Residential Zone and limited change classification that applies to the surrounding residential area.

The Whitehorse Housing Strategy 2014 identified the surrounding residential area as limited change. Limited change areas represent the lowest degree of intended residential growth and have specific valued characteristics, such as environmental and heritage, which are to be protected. In a limited change area, development needs to be of a scale, form and character that is consistent with the surrounding area. Council has initiated this Amendment to ensure that the residential zone applying to the three properties listed above aligns with Council’s vision for housing in this area.
