It is submitted that live uses at ground floor level where not within the mixed use zone, district and neighbourhood centres should be restricted to 9am-9pm hours of operation in all other areas in order to optimise residential amenity.
The goal of optimising residential amenity and enabling the area to develop as an attractive sustainable residential neighbourhood will be important to the development of the City Docks. The purpose of this restriction is to limit non- residential frontage spatially. The hours of operation will be specified and managed through development management planning processes. The text of Objective 10.26 Specific Land Use Objectives will be amended to refer to ancillary residential communal facilities at ground floor level being acceptable as a residential use. These will also offer passive surveillance streets within the neighbourhood. Recommendation: Amend Objective 10.26 Specific Land Use Objectives: Objective 10.26 Specific Land Use Objectives It is an objective of Cork City Council to ensure that: • The western neighbourhood / local centre is centred upon the western City Docks LRT stop. • Live ground floor uses are provided in appropriate locations and restricted in all other areas to ensure a good quality of residential amenity in the new residential neighbourhood. • Ancillary residential communal facilities will be acceptable at ground floor level as a residential use. These will also offer passive surveillance streets within the neighbourhood.
The submissions support the clear commitment to supporting the relocation of light industry and logistics uses in the city’s regeneration areas to new employment
