  • to modify the limit of the Natural Area (N) zone; 
  • to introduce a permission for existing dwellings to remain in the Natural Area (N) zone; and,

    • the deletion of the maximum lot coverage for all buildings;
    • the deletion of minimum lot area per dwelling;
    • revise the minimum lot frontage for all dwellings to 4.27 m;
