River Lee. This need has also been identified through the Cork City Active Recreational Infrastructure Study (Draft Study). It is recommended to amend Chapter 6 to include an objective to prepare a feasibility study for newwater-based recreational activity. The most suitable site for this has been identified to the west of Church Avenue. This land currently benefits from a “ZO 18 Landscape Preservation Zone” zoning objective to protect its landscape value in framing the river. The upper lands / escarpment should be retained with this objective. The lower lands could be developed for the purposes of boat-based activity with a direct frontage onto the pedestrianised Marina. Recommendation: (i) Change the zoning of the lower grounds of the site to the west of Church Avenue from “ZO 18 Landscape Preservation Zone” to “ZO 17 Sports Grounds & Facilities” (ii) Include a new Objective in Chapter 6 to frame the development of an activities centre that would accommodate water-based and related activity.
Support for submission no 65 for the zoning of a multi-use maritime activities centre along the Marina.

Proposed rezoning from “ZO 13 Education” to “ZO 5 Mixed Use Development” along Centre Park Road, South Docks.
Schools are required to meet the needs of the proposed New Residential Neighbourhood. The Department of Education and Skills considers that each Education site will need to accommodate two schools and will need to be complemented by adjacent sports grounds and public open space.
