Chief Executive’s Response & Recommendation
Submission seeks to reduce the proportion of the City Docks allocated to mixed use on the grounds that a stronger residential neighbourhood is required.
396
The land use strategy for the City Docks has been amended to ensure the creation of two coherent areas: an extension to the City Centre that will be Mixed Use and predominantly commercial in nature, and an attractive and coherent residential neighbourhood that appeals to a wide range of people. These will be complemented by coherent urban centres that provide for community and commercial services to provide for the needs of the area. Recommendation: No change. The land use strategy for the City Docks includes significant proposals for public open space, including Marina Park and The Marina, The River Lee waterfront (Kennedy Quay and Horgan’s Quay ) and Kennedy Park and Spine. Public open space will also be provided by developments, each providing 15% of site area for the purposes of public open space. There will also be sports grounds to provide for the needs of the area, including schools use during the school day. This level of public open space provision is considered to be appropriate and reasonable given the high density neighbourhood that will be developed. These assets will also be available to those living in adjacent areas, including the City Centre where there are public open space deficits. Recommendation: No change.
Submissions seek an increase in the amount of public open space provided as part of the development strategy, while others seek to reduce the amount of open space provided, in private interests.
