[Section] Chapter I – Residential Zones [Suggested Amendment] Density limits should be removed for development of four or more dwellings in the Mixed Housing Suburban zone. Density limits should not apply to the Mixed Housing Urban zone. [Reason(s)] 
Density limits are an overly crude way of managing built form that undermine many of the goals of the Unitary Plan – particularly the provision of affordable housing, the provision of a variety of housing types and promoting a quality built form. Other development controls, particularly height limits and site coverage limits, adequately control any adverse environmental outcomes. Density controls are therefore superfluous and counter-productive to the goals of the Unitary Plan.
