                            My neighbour’s property is 5 acres, is zoned rural residential but has a council approval to subdivide their   development. The further expansion of the Medium Density Residential Zone would be a significant               result of these submissions.

                            then what's the point of zoning at all?
                            Why not zone pottery street to medium density where the blocks are much larger and so could
                            accommodate for a lot more housing, more so than the blocks on hill St, hospital St and school St.
 5815405                    I understand you wish to house more people, close to town, on medium density blocks, in Pomona.
                            I think you should also consider small acreage, walking distance to town, with services already provided
                            for, i.e. top of red street, pottery street, they are tucked away and walking distance to town.
