Chief Executive’s Response & Recommendation
(ii) Response: As set out above, the City Capacity Study, referred to section 2.31-2.33 of the Draft Plan, assessed the overall capacity of Cork City for future development within all existing underutilised zoned lands. It should also be noted, as per the details set out in section 2.52 of the Draft Plan, reasonable and realistic assumptions are then used to ensure the Core Strategy targets are focused on deliverable outcomes. The Core Strategy therefore presents realistic and grounded targets (given capacity constraints, complex build out timeframes, etc), as opposed to setting out density related outputs for the full build out of every site zoned for future development. Given the complexities associated with urban development (as set in more detail above), this evidence based and grounded approach is particularly relevant to Cork City. Refer to the response and recommendation for OPR submission 426 “R ecommendation 3 ” for more detail. Recommendation: No change. (iii) Response: As per response given above. Recommendation: No change (iv) Response: As stated in section 10.18 of the Draft Plan, Cork City Council has commissioned a new five year action plan (Cork City Centre Revitalisation Action Plan 2021-2025) “…to address the land use and economics of Cork City Centre, and ensure it is developed as a vibrant and viable core for Metropolitan Cork. The Strategy will be available in Quarter 2, 2021.” Please also refer to the response given to OPR submission 426 “Observation 2” setting out an objective for a Central Cork Framework Plan.
