Section 8
South Western Suburbs & Hinterland
Specific Zoning Request
Sub. No.
Map No. Chief Executive’s Response & Recommendation
Development Site No. 6” of the Draft City Development Plan.
Plan which identifies this site for a mix of uses including residential and convenience retail. Recommendation: No change. This site is located in an area identified as “Prominent and Strategic Metropolitan Greenbelt” in Figure 6.5 of the Plan. This is an elevated, greenfield site defining the urban / rural interface of the southern environs of the City. A significant amount of land has already been identified for future development at this location. The proposed ZO 2 New Residential Neighbourhoods zoning on these lands is not consistent with the Compact Liveable Growth strategy set out in the Draft Plan. The zoning of this site at this time could promote lower-density development with associated negative impacts on climate change, green and blue infrastructure management, the need for new physical and social infrastructure, and the successful delivery of a compact, vibrant city of neighbourhoods. Recommendation: No change. These lands are currently zoned Public Open Space in the 2017 Municipal District Local Area Plan with an objective for ‘o pen space for public recreation including the provision of playing pitches ’ . These lands form a coherent strip of open space along with adjoining lands on the southern side of the N40. The proposed rezoning is not supported. Recommendation:
Proposed rezoning of land at Ballycurreen, Kinsale Road, South City Environs from “ZO 21 City Hinterland” to “ZO 02 New Residential Neighbourhoods” and “ZO 11 Business and Technology”.

Proposed zoning of lands at White Oaks Estate for “ZO 16 Public Open Space” should be changed to “ZO 1 Sustainable Residential Neighbourhoods” as they are in private ownership and are not open to the public.
