Map No. Chief Executive’s Response & Recommendation
The visual link with Saint Luke’s Chu rch along the entire length of the Kennedy Spine will be retained. Recommendation: (i) Adjust Kennedy Spine westwards between Centre Park Road and Marina Walk. (ii) Develop a new alignment for the other three land parcels that constitute the Kennedy Spine. A proposed Amendment will be prepared that responds to this revised opportunity. It is proposed to reduce the width of the “Kennedy Spine” from c. 54 metres as currently proposed in the Draft Plan to c 45 metres – this would result in the same area of public open space-zoned lands in this area as that currently zoned in the current Cork City Development Plan 2015, with a different, improved alignment. Recommendation Reduce the width of the “Kennedy Spine” “ZO 16 Public Open S pace” to 45 metres. The proposed land use zoning strategy for the Docklands has been specifically formulated to achieve a more balanced development in the area. Lands have been specifically zoned for residential development, public open space and sports facilities. The new docklands neighbourhood will be a mixed use area accommodating a range of uses including employment uses. The areas proposed for Mixed Use development will accommodate a mix of uses including employment uses, with predominantly more residential uses being accommodated on the areas zoned for Residential development. The Mixed Use zoning provides the necessary flexibility to provide the required mix of uses to ensure a successful, sustainable new
Retain previous width of Kennedy Spine ZO 16 Public Open Space.
