Objective 10.3
Objective 10.6 City Centre Land Use on Primary Retail Frontages To restrict residential, retail offices, general offices, hot food takeaways, general convenience stores, public houses, night clubs, mobile phone shops, bookmakers, betting shops and restaurant uses from locating at ground floor level on Primary Retail Frontages. Cork City Council will consider allowing some complementary restaurant and café uses at certain corner sites along the south-facing section of St. Patrick’s Street to allow for a greater mix of use and vibrancy to enhance its primary retail function. Such uses will only be permitted where it can be demonstrated that they would complement the retail function of the street and add to its vibrancy and attraction.
City Centre Infill Development
To ensure that the development of new or infill sites respects the architectural and historical character and significance of the City Centre and is of a complementary scale and grain to adjacent buildings and is appropriate in its context.
Objective 10.4
City Centre Office Development
To support office development in the City Centre, including the development of supported space for start-ups and Co-working hubs. The retention of office uses on South Mall will be promoted to support a mix of large, medium and small businesses. Non-office uses at ground floor level on South Mall will only be open for consideration in the part of the street east of Morrison’s Street on the south side and east of Beasley Street on the north side. Non-office uses on upper floors of heritage buildings will be open for consideration where they do not have a negative impact on the area or the heritage asset. Uses that will be considered favourably in this circumstance are residential, hotel or serviced accommodation.
