Summary 2
The plan recommends potential opportunity sites for re-development activities within the study area (see Figure 1). These sites are categorized into either a south or north district. The south district, which contains a designated Empire Zone, is characterized by large blocks, large buildings and water-related industry and would be strengthened primarily as an industrial area; the north district, characterized by smaller blocks and smaller building types, would encourage mixed uses, e.g. light industry, small scale commercial and contextual residential uses in keeping with the scale, design and character of surroundings.
