I’ve wondered what opinions there are on drawing out land use areas like residential, commercial, industrial, etc. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Wellington seems to follow the pattern of tracing around every single road. While Christchurch seems to have things done as large blocks with major roads being the borders. And I found both in Auckland.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>So what do people think/prefer? Avoid any road overlap or only avoid major roads? Or even just ignore roads entirely?<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>My personal view is either to either stop at the main roads or just ignore the roads when laying out the areas. The roads are already are labelled as being primary, secondary, and tertiary. So it’s pretty clear when they’re acting as a border. Also for many of the major roads they’re going to create their own border by being an area of primarily commercial land use. Meanwhile trying to trace around every single road adds a lot of overhead of not only updating road alignments but then a way on either side that needs updating. Then are you including the footpath and berm as part of the area or do you say that’s council owned so not included?<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Cheers,<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>James.<o:p></o:p></p></div></body></html>
