Was surprised when I went to the city council interactive map of proposed changes to the Christchurch District Plan to learn that it is proposed my street in Hyde Park is to be rezoned to Medium Density Zone which allows 3 residential units per section up to 3 storeys high. I have checked a few surrounding streets and we all seem to be the same. How do other people feel about this?
